Here is a tip for how to clean a burnt induction cooktop. For burnt-on marks or white mineral deposits, gentle cleaning is key to avoid scratching the glass surface. Let the cooktop cool completely before cleaning. For burnt residue, mix baking soda with a little water to make a thick paste and apply it to the affected area. Lightly dab or spray with white vinegar and leave it for 10–15 minutes. Gently rub in small circular motions with a soft microfiber cloth or non-abrasive sponge. For stubborn residue, carefully use an induction-safe scraper or plastic spatula, keeping it at a slight angle. Wipe the surface with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. For white marks caused by hard-water deposits, use a soft cloth dampened with equal parts white vinegar and water. Avoid using steel wool, abrasive pads, stiff brushes and harsh or ammonia-based cleaners, as these can scratch or damage the cooktop.
