Using scraper blade on cooktops make the works easy but if an old razor will use then it can scratch the surface holding the blade at angled position to scrape. Shake the bottle cleaner and pour it on cooktops then rub gently on the surface vigorously using a sponge or soft cloth also a paper towel works too, remember, don’t use steel wool or an abrasive pad which can scratch it and once finished cleaning the cooktops wipe off all the residue and buff the cooktops with a paper towel to restore the shine that looks brand new.
Scraping melted plastic or spills with a high sugar content like cannamellis or dessert filling off the cooktops immediately and immediate attention on cooktops is needed which requires action before the cooktop cools completely because letting it cool can cause pitting which dulls the shine and permanently damages the cooktops surface.

In preventing the scratches use only the pots and pans with smooth bottoms and keep the bottoms of to the cookware clean because burned-on residue can scratch the surface of the cooktops. Cleaning the bottom of pots and pans with a non-abrasive kitchen cleanser and when moving the pots and pans is to lift them don’t slide it.

Apply a small amount of cleaning cream to the area on the needed amount size then take a soft rag and rub the cream into the area where the spill was located because this cream will dry to a light haze similar to the wax on a car after that, wipe the cream off using a towel to the glass that should buff out to a bright shiny look if the slight stain remains on the glass cooktops repeat the process.
