How to clean your ceramic hob without leaving streaks or marks

Is it true that ceramic hobs are easier to clean?

Yes, but only if you know how. Whether you have a regular ceramic hob or an induction hob, the process is practically the same, although induction hobs cool down faster, so you can get started a little sooner. Here we explain the method step by step, with products that actually work.

Step 1: water and soap, always with the hob cold

Never clean the ceramic hob while it's hot. Use a soft sponge and a little dish soap to loosen stubborn dirt and remove grease before using specialized cleaning products.

Step 2: The spatula, your best ally against stubborn dirt

While the hob is still wet, use a scraper to wipe it from top to bottom, making the longest strokes possible. Then, remove any residue with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

Step 3: The specific product, the key to the final shine

This is where the difference is noticeable. We've spent years testing products, and our recommendation is clear: a drop of Cerafix on each burner, applied with a dry cloth or paper towel, rubbing in circles. There's no other secret.

Beware of other Vitroclen: they contain a very fine polishing sand that, with continued use, can dull the color of the glass. We do not recommend them.

If the glass-ceramic hob still looks bad after scraping, especially due to burner marks, try Stahl Fix (yes, it's a stainless steel cleaner, but it works just as well on glass-ceramic hobs). Always finish with Cerafix, though: its natural silicones leave a spectacular shine and prevent dirt from sticking so easily next time.

An important detail

After applying the cleaner, never rinse or wash the glass cooktop. It's precisely that protective layer that makes it easier to clean the next time.

Do you need spare parts?

If the problem isn't cleaning but your hob has a burner that doesn't heat up, a faulty control knob, or a broken glass, at ElectroCholo we have original spare parts for the main brands.
