Here is the best way to clean the fireplace glass

At this time of year, many of us appreciate being able to sit in front of the fire with a warm drink and enjoy the flames.

One thing that slightly spoils the experience is a dirty stove glass. So how do you clean the stove glass? We have gathered some simple tips that make it child's play. Come along and learn how to clean the stove glass quickly and effectively!

Why does the stove glass turn black and sooty?

Before we find out the best way to clean the stove glass, it’s worth taking a quick look at what causes the glass to get covered in soot.

The most common reason is closing the door too quickly when lighting the fire. This way, the fire doesn’t get enough air and releases excessive soot. A simple tip to prevent the stove glass from getting dirty is to leave the door slightly open until the fire is properly started. A simple measure that can save you a lot of time!

3 effective ways to clean the stove glass

With these simple tips, you can get your stove glass clean in 5 minutes. Before you start, we’d like to remind you to always wear cleaning gloves when cleaning the stove – this is to avoid getting soot on your hands. It can be quite hard to remove soot from your hands.

It’s a shame when the stove itself is clean in no time but then you have to spend half an hour cleaning your hands.

1. Clean stove glass with Cillit Bang

The important thing here is to make sure you get the right type – the grease-dissolving variety. Spray the stove glass with the product so the whole glass is covered and wait for about 10 minutes. You will probably notice when the product has done its job. The soot will literally run off the glass. It can hardly be easier than that! Wipe clean with kitchen paper. Done!

2. Use a special glass cleaning spray for stoves

Spisrent, as it is also called, is a very effective product for dissolving burnt-on soot. The stove glass becomes clear and almost like new again!

Spray the product on the stove glass and let it work for about 10 minutes. Then simply wipe away the dirt. For really dirty glass, another application of the product may be needed to achieve a sparkling clean result.

3. Clean the stove environmentally friendly with vinegar and baking powder

A much-appreciated home remedy is to use vinegar and baking powder to remove burnt-on soot from the stove glass.

Mix 100 ml vinegar with 2 tablespoons baking powder. Dampen a sponge with the mixture and then simply scrub. You may need to repeat the procedure a few times if the glass has become really dirty. Wipe the glass with a clean damp cloth.

4. Remove soot using ash and newspaper

Last but not least, we want to share a popular home remedy, namely using ash to clean the stove glass. It probably doesn’t get cheaper than this since you don’t need to buy any special products – the ash is already in the stove. Moreover, the glass becomes like new! It’s almost a bit ironic that you can use something that dirtied the glass to clean it as well!

Dip newspaper in water and then in ash. Then just rub until the dirt comes off. Wipe clean with a microfiber cloth.

There you go, your wood-burning stove should now look like new again!

It’s easy to put off such unpleasant tasks as cleaning the stove glass, for example. And then you end up with an endless list of things to fix. Everything from cleaning the oven to cleaning the whole kitchen.
