Sugary spills can cause pitting on the cooktop surface if left uncleaned and heated repeatedly, explains Kim.
And double-check the cooktop is not hot so you dont burn yourself.
Finally, anything abrasive, like metal scouring or cleaning pads, can damage the cooktop surface.
Health and Safety Concerns
Harsh chemicals from commercial cleaners could potentially cause unwanted fumes and odors.
Additionally, some chemicals could cause discoloration on surfaces and/or fade away printed labeling on surfaces, says Kim.
But any common store-bought, grease-cutting cleaners may also be used safely.
Just verify you follow each cleaners cleaning instructions.
Warm surfaces may help with cleaning as soils would be loose and not yet hardened.
