If it's kind of thick--I scrape it with a razor blade and then use Weiman Amooth Top Range cleaner it polishes it up like new--Easy to use---I apply it with a nylon scratcher and poish with a paper towel

I use a razor blade held at an angle to scrap my glass top stove, works well. And I use Barkeepers cleanser or Soft Scrub to clean it, with a non scratching scrub pad. Once in awhile I use the made for glass top cleaner. Have had no problems with scratching and been doing this for years.
Another useful tip, when the top is cooled throw a thoroughly soaked dishcloth over it and leave it until you get time to clean it properly, it will start loosening the bits n pieces.

I, too, have the glass top and as nice as they look in the store, they are a real pain to clean. Even using the cleaner the manufacturer gave me, it leaves it a bit streaked looking. The baking soda sounds like it is definitely worth a try since I have a spot or two I haven't been able to get off. I've only had the stove 3 months so maybe the care will become easier as time goes on. Thank you for sharing all the suggestions.

I had one and I kind of miss it. We have gas now which is my preference, but I do miss my glass top sometimes.
I found it very easy to clean. I'd scrape it with a razor if anything stuck. Anything persistent, I'd lay a hot damp rag over it for awhile and that always softened it up enough that the razor would make short work of it. We had ours about 5 years with zero troubles. We sold it with the house. Mine had a 5th burner in the center that could be made small, medium, or large which was something I actually used fairly often. Mine also had a red light that would stay on if the top was still warm, which was a feature I specifically looked for. I am pretty sure it was a Kenmore.
I prefer gas but if I bought a house that was only set up for electric, I'd buy another glass top for sure.
