Glass-top Stove

I used to dream of the day I could have a glass-top stove. They looked so pretty and clean! Then I moved into a house with a stove that was about 1 year old. There was some minor damage already apparent on the stove. The owner had left a tiny bottle of cleaner with strict instructions to use this cleaner only. I dutifully used the cleaner, but it did not improve the look of the stove.

The next house, our current home, had a brand new glass-top stove. There was no cleaner included, so I started looking around for the same cleaner I had used before, only to discover it was $4 - $7 for a 12 oz. bottle of cleaner. Not my kind of price.

I did a little research and discovered that Soft Scrub has about the same ingredients. For about $2.75 I can get a 26 oz. bottle of cleaner that will do the same thing. I've been using the Soft Scrub for over a year now on the glass-top stove and it looks even better than our previous stove which we used the expensive cleaner on.

What's the savings?
Small expensive cleaner - $4 - $7 per 12 oz. = 33¢ - 58¢ per oz.
Soft Scrub cleaner - $2.75 per 26 oz. = 10¢ per oz.
