How to Clean Oil Stains on Tempered Glass Lids

Cleaning oil stains on tempered glass cookware lids can be achieved through several methods:

I. Routine Cleaning Method

  1. Soaking and Washing

    • Prepare a container and place the glass lid inside.

    • Add an appropriate amount of detergent and water, ensuring the detergent is a mild product suitable for kitchen utensils, avoiding the use of corrosive cleaners.

    • Soak for about 15 minutes to soften the oil stains.

    • Use a soft cloth or sponge to wipe the surface of the lid, especially the edges, to remove oil and dirt.

    • Rinse thoroughly with water and let the lid air dry to avoid water spots.

  2. Using Oil to Combat Oil

    • Apply a layer of discarded cooking oil to the oil stains that have lingered on the glass lid.

    • After a few minutes, use the regular cleaning method to wash, and the oil stains will be easier to remove.

II. Natural Cleaner Method

  1. Rice Water or Noodles Soup Cleaning

    • Apply a thick layer of rice water or noodles soup onto the glass lid.

    • Once the rice water or noodles soup dries and forms a crust, gently scrape it off with a wooden chopstick or plastic scraper, and the oil stains will come off with the crust.

  2. Baking Soda Cleaning

    • Mix baking soda and water in a 1:1 ratio to form a solution.

    • Soak the glass lid in the solution for about 30 minutes.

    • Use a soft cloth to wipe the surface of the lid, especially the stained areas.

    • Rinse thoroughly with water and let it air dry.

  3. Vinegar Cleaning

    • Mix vinegar and warm water in a 1:1 ratio (or use vinegar directly) and apply it to the oil stains, or place the glass lid in a container and pour in an appropriate amount of vinegar to soak for about 20 minutes.

    • Use a soft cloth to wipe the surface of the lid, especially the stained areas.

    • Rinse thoroughly with water and let it air dry.

III. Steam Cleaning Method

  • Steam cleaning is a quick and effective cleaning method, especially suitable for tempered glass cookware lids.

  • Place the lid in a steam cleaner and let the steam temperature and pressure remove the dirt.

  • Alternatively, boil water in a kettle, let the steam cover the lid, and then wipe it dry with a clean cloth.

IV. Precautions

  1. When using any cleaner or chemical reagent, follow the instructions and ensure they are suitable for tempered glass cookware lids.

  2. Avoid using rough cleaning tools or hard objects to scratch the surface of the lid, as this may cause scratches or damage.

  3. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning to avoid residual cleaner damaging the lid.

  4. Do not soak the glass lid in water for a long time or rinse it with hot water, as this may cause the glass to crack.

    By following these methods, you can effectively clean oil stains on tempered glass cookware lids and maintain a tidy and hygienic kitchen.
