My top recommendation is Weiman Glass & Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner Kit. It’s a great all-around choice for glass cooktops because it removes grease, baked-on food, and stubborn residue while helping restore a shiny finish. Consumer Reports’ January 2026 testing also found that dedicated cooktop cleaners are effective for tough, baked-on messes.
(Best overall)
Weiman Complete Cook-Top Cleaning Kit
About $8–15, depending on retailer and kit
Includes cleaning cream and tools for tackling everyday grease and tougher, burnt-on messes. A good starter kit if you don't already own a cooktop scraper.
4.6/5 from 3,172 Walmart reviews for the listed kit.
Cerama Bryte Cooktop Cleaning Kit
About $11 at Home Depot
A strong alternative for grease, stubborn stains, and baked-on food. The kit includes cleaner and is a practical option if you want dedicated tools for cleaning.
4.6/5 from 957 Home Depot reviews.
Weiman Glass Cook Top Cleaner and Polish
About $5 at Walmart
Best budget pick if you already have a suitable cleaning pad and scraper. It cleans, polishes, and helps remove baked-on food without needing to buy a complete kit.
4.7/5 from 4,217 Walmart reviews.
Important: Avoid steel wool, abrasive scouring powders, and ordinary oven cleaner, which can damage the surface. Check your appliance manual for approved products.
My verdict: Buy the Weiman kit if you want an all-in-one solution. If you just need a bottle of cleaner, the Weiman cream is a cost-effective choice.

When it comes to cleaning a glass or ceramic cooktop, expert testing (from sources like Wirecutter and Consumer Reports ) consistently points to heavy-duty, non-abrasive cleaning creams/pastes rather than standard all-purpose sprays or window cleaners.
The top-rated, industry-standard options include:
Widely considered the gold standard and a favorite among testers. It uses a thick cream formula that cuts through heavily burnt-on grease, food, and sugar splatters without scratching the delicate glass-ceramic surface, while leaving a protective, shiny coating.
Another top-tier, heavy-duty cream cleaner that excels at breaking down stubborn, baked-on residue. It is biodegradable and frequently packaged in kits with specialized scrubbing pads and scrapers.
Highly rated for its paste consistency, which clings well to vertical or tough localized burned spots to lift grime effectively.[2][3]
No matter which cream you choose, the absolute best tool for a truly trashed glass cooktop is a dedicated safety razor scraper (used at a shallow angle with a single-edge razor blade). Creams loosen the grime, but a razor blade gently shaves off hardened, carbonized sugar or melted plastic without gouging the glass.
