melted plastic on a glass stove top...

I may have put a plastic bag on the stove top this morning...and it may have been right on a burner that I just turned off... so now I have melted plastic on my glass stove top.  Any suggestions for cleaning it?  I tried to scrape it off with a plastic spatula & wipe it off with a rag, but had no luck.  And this is why DH should make his own lunch early in the mornings... ;)

Re: melted plastic on a glass stove top...

  • I did this, but I scraped most of it off while it was still hot. I used a metal spatula.

    The remaining residue I got off with a magic eraser after the cooktop was cool.

    Now you can't tell where it happened. Although our tub of margarine still has no lid. Big Smile

  • Reheat the burner so the plastic is partially melted.  Then turn off burner and scrape very lightly with a popsicle stick (no gouging the glass).  You may need to repeat the heat, turn off and scrap several times. 
  • Use a straight razor blade scraper (aka paint scraper) to scrape the plastic off.  You can get one cheaply at Home Depot or a similar store.  It won't damage the glass.  I had to do this when I melted a plastic bowl on my cooktop.  It also works well to clean up burnt on food.
