Solutions for Glassex on induction

If you have used Glassex on your induction hob and wish to remove it, there are some household solutions you can try. Although these methods are not always as effective as professional products and may sometimes carry risks, they can offer a solution in some cases:

• Use a mixture of warm water and washing-up liquid to treat the area. Leave the mixture to work for a while, then gently wipe with a soft cloth or sponge.
• Try removing the residue using a mixture of equal parts vinegar and water. Apply it to the soiled area, leave it to work briefly and then wipe it away with a damp cloth.
• Gently rub the area with a mixture of water and lemon juice. Be careful not to rub too hard, as this may scratch the surface.

Remember that these solutions are not recommended by HG, as they do not always deliver the desired result and may cause damage to your induction hob. If these methods do not work, it is advisable to use a specialist induction hob cleaner or seek professional advice.

Reasons why Glassex cannot be used on induction

Using Glassex on an induction hob is not advisable for the following reasons:

• Glassex is not specifically designed for cleaning induction hobs.
• Residue from unsuitable cleaning products may leave streaks, marks or a film on the hob surface.

Always check the manufacturer's cleaning and maintenance instructions before using any product on your hob. Choose products that have been tested and approved for use on induction surfaces to ensure optimal cleaning results without risk of damage. This approach will help maintain your hob's performance and appearance over time.
