Hi, I left my enamel tea kettle on the stove and fell asleep. The water evaporated and the enamel melted onto the stove top. I was able to get the kettle off without damage and most of the enamel, but there is a rough residue left about the size of a quarter. Help!

Glass top stoves are wonderful things and while many people think that cleaning glass top stoves is difficult to do, nothing could be further from the truth. When you clean glass top stove fixtures, you should follow a few specific cleaning glass top stove rules. If you follow those rules when you clean a glass top stove, you will find that not only is it easy learning how to clean a glass top stove, it is also a relatively quick process when you actually start to clean glass top stove appliances in your house. See how to clean stainless steel. The Cleaning ProcessThe actual cleaning process starts after you have finished your cooking. To clean glass top stoves you need to be consistently vigilant and that vigilance must start as soon as you have finished using the stove for cleaning. The first step in learning how to clean glass top stoves is watching the stove and making sure that you wait until the hot surface light has gone out. All glass stoves have one and it is the light that tells you when the surface still has the potential to burn and melt. As soon as the indicator light has gone out, you want to make sure that you follow the next step in the how to clean glass top stove guides which is to apply cleaning pressure to the surface right away. You can do this with a soapy water mixture and a sponge, although some non-abrasive cleaners can also work for the task if you have the extra money to spend. It's not necessary however as a lukewarm soapy water mixture applied with a soft sponge is very effective to clean glass top stoves. If you do this after every meal that is cooked using the stove you will find that keeping it clean over long periods of time is very easy to do. 
Dealing with Major SpillsCleaning a glass top stove is not always that simple however, as you can often have very big spills on it. These spills should be soaked in hot water until they become wet and easy to move before being removed in the same cleaning process that was mentioned in the previous section. If the spills are stubborn and refuse to budge even after being soaked in hot water, you may need to use a scraper to get them off. There are scrapers on the market that have specifically been created for use on a glass top stove so make sure that you purchase one of those the next time you are at the hardware or kitchen store that you frequent. Aesthetics are ImportantIn addition to getting a scraper, you may also want to invest some money into getting polish specifically made for glass top stoves. This will allow you to keep your stove looking beautiful at the same time you keep it pristine. To keep the look and feel of your stove good however, you should also avoid using the stove as an extra counter since that can lead to big problems should you accidentally place a plastic bag on it when it is still hot.
