How to Clean an Induction Hob with the Bake-O-Glide® Cleaning Kit

An induction hob keeps its looks longest when it is cleaned the right way. The glass is efficient and smart, but it scratches and stains if you reach for the wrong products. This is how to clean it properly with the Bake-O-Glide® Induction Hob Cleaning Kit, and how to keep it clear between deep cleans.

What's in the Cleaning Kit

The kit brings together three things that are safe on induction glass.

• HG Hob Cleaner Extra Strong, a strong but gentle cleaner that lifts grease and stubborn residue without harming the surface.
• Mr Eco Cellulose Sponge, a natural sponge cloth that scrubs gently without marking the glass.
• Spontex Microfibre Kitchen Kit, microfibre cloths for a streak-free polish and dry.

Step-by-Step Cleaning

1. Switch the hob off and let it cool completely. Cleaning a warm hob risks burns and makes the cleaner evaporate before it can work.
2. Wipe away loose crumbs and spills with a soft cloth. Skip abrasive sponges and metal scrapers, which scratch the glass.
3. Shake the HG Hob Cleaner well, then apply a small amount directly onto the surface, focusing on stains and greasy patches.
4. Work it in with the Mr. Eco sponge using light circular motions. Ease off on stubborn spots rather than pressing hard.
5. Wipe away the residue with clean warm water and the rinsed sponge. Repeat until the surface is clear.
6. Buff dry with the Spontex microfibre cloth for a streak-free finish.

Keeping Your Hob Clear Between Deep Cleans

• Wipe spills as they happen, before they cool and set hard.
• Use cleaners made for induction glass rather than harsh multi-surface chemicals.
• Never use steel wool, scouring pads or metal scrapers.

Prep for Adding a Protector

A clean, dry hob is the right base for a protector. Once yours is clear, an induction hob protector keeps it that way, guarding against scratches, spills and heat marks. If you are weighing up the versions, our guide to induction hob protectors runs through the Original, Edged and Circle options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a normal kitchen cleaner on an induction hob?

It is better not to. Many multi-surface sprays are too harsh and can leave streaks or dull the glass. A cleaner made for induction, like the one in the kit, suits the surface better.

How often should I clean my induction hob?

Wipe it after each use to catch spills early, and give it a deeper clean weekly or whenever marks start to build up.

Will the kit remove burnt-on marks?

Usually, yes. The HG cleaner with light circular work from the sponge lifts most burnt-on residue. Let the cleaner do the work rather than scraping.

Should I wear gloves while cleaning?

It's a personal choice. If you have sensitive hands, a pair of cleaning gloves gives extra protection. Contact us if you need any more help.
