Today, as an old guy, I was cleaning our glass top stove. The Weiman cleaner is in the cupboard above the stove. I squirted a bunch on the dirty rings and then realized its normally white not blue paste.
Turns out I grabbed the Cascade Complete dishwasher liquid. Duh.
I started to wipe it and realized it was pulling off the baked on food better than the stove cleaning product.
Best it has looked in 5 years.
P.s. made sure to fully rinse all of it off so no residue remained.
A razor blade scraper does wonders too
My wife would probably divorce me if she caught me using a razor on it, even though I know they work well.
In her head razors cut things and make slices, and she doesn’t grasp the inclined flat blade skimming over top can’t do a slicing action.
My old stove came with a razor scraper for cleaning. I bet the manual for yours recommends using one. Maybe show her the manual. I wouldn’t have been able to clean it thoroughly without the razor.
Try Cascade Complete LOL it works great.
I have the pods, gonna pop one and try it. With gloves on.
The liquid we have has a slight grit to it.
The pod is mostly powder with a swirl of goo, I’ll try mixing them to make a paste.
Give us a status report :)
As someone who did auto detailing decades ago, razors are how you get everything off glass.
And then triple-Zero (000) steel wool. Don’t use anything other than actual 000.
And then there are plastic razor blades for getting stickers off paint.
I would hope she is aware of the existence of shaving blades which are the exact same things except glass is far stronger than skin.
I have found it is not worth the friction 😀. She also has a way she wants the dishwasher loaded, even though I can run Computational Fluid Dynamics software at home, and show her why another (my) method is probably better.
Rigorous comparative analysis of spousal dishwasher loading techniques is the content I crave
“I love you so much that I will load the dishwasher wrong - just for you”. I tried saying this & got mixed results.
Can you post your analysis for the rest of us.
I’m not starting any marital fights
For us! No need to tell her
What is the best way to load the dishwasher?
Lets not even start that debate and it becomes a factorial? Function right. 2 dishes have 2 positions, 10 dishes have 10x9x8x7x6x5x4x3x2x1 positions.
Carbon steel is also not as hard as borosilicate glass.
You should teach her about Mohs hardness scale.
I have actually… She’s not convinced
Demonstrate the concept on a less expensive piece of glass.
I’ve used a razor to scrape down our shower door before. If you’re not careful you can inadvertently scratch things with the corners of the blade. Ask me how I know…
Has your wife shaved her legs before? Then she is accustomed to this interaction
That’s a poor argument on my end, as she has often drawn blood from shaving
Razor blades aren’t usually hard enough to scratch tempered glass in the first place, they are used professionally to clean scale on outdoor windows.
seconded, they’re so good! they always get off the baked-on stuff that i’m never bothered to scrub off with a scourer
