I couldn’t get stubborn scorch marks off my glass stovetop for 4 years until I tried baking soda – it worked like magic

Small modern kitchen with white and gray cabinets, wooden flooring, seating nook with blue chairs and beige sofa.

My home was newly built when we moved in, and it was spotless. The glass hob, the first electric one I'd ever had, was new to me and within a few weeks, I had scorched the glass with the bottom of a pot.

I tried for four years to scrub the marks away and eventually accepted those marks were not budging. Then, I interviewed dozens of cleaning experts for my role as head of Solved here at Homes & Gardens and realized baking soda was a brilliant, gentle, natural and crucially, abrasive cleaning agent.
