Hi Everybody,


I was just wondering what people were using to clean the glass on their Wood Burning Stove?


We have been using the Stovax Clear Glass cleaner with only moderate success.


I am hoping there is a miracle product out there!!!


Thanks in advance.

Not a miracle cure, but rubbing hard with a handful of screwed up newspaper works quite well.

The screwed up newspaper works a lot better if wet and dipped in ash from the fire

[PK]

Agree with using some ash.

Hob bright cream (for cleaning halogen  stovetops)  We have used this for years. Works well for us

The Gallery stove and hob cleaner bought from Aldi.  Far superior to what we bought from the stove shop.

I rub with some newspaper or use a piece of damp kitchen roll dabbed in a little of the wood ash. It's never failed to remove the 'black'.

If you really, really have a problem and are happy to take the glass out to sort it then either sugar soap and a nail brush or for the ultimate cleaner for difficult stuff there's a product called klingstrip. It's mainly meant as a paint stripper but is a poultice based product (alkalis in a clay base?). You layer it on, cover with plastic bags/cling film etc to keep it moist and wait from a  few hours to a couple of days (depending how bad) - then wipe and wash off.
I've used that to renovate an old marble fireplace and recently to clean many years of greasy filth from tile grout. Beware using such products with aluminium.

For cleaning the grout around the cooker it was effortless..trowelled on the grout lines with an old credit card, covered them with plastic, waited 24hrs - washed off to reveal white grout.

Water, j-cloth & ash, daily.  We don't have any newspapers, lol.

These are amazing - no chemicals and work perfectly every time - takes less than a minute and 2 last a full year!

I'm with you Womble - just turn the air up and make the fire roar and that burns off any black stuff from the glass.  I think we need a lying back under a sunshade icon

I've never cleaned mine either - turn the heat up

[Foobar]

Don't yours get even a little bit dirty around the edges of the glass?  Maybe it depends how big your glass is...

newspaper with some vinegar works well on ours.(or so my wife says)
