I don't think it's a good idea to use WD40 in the house because of the chemicals in it (especially exposed to heat). In any case, I cant stand the smell. DH used it on a squeaky metal porch chair and the odor bothered me for months even though the chair was virtually outside all the time. I have forbidden him to ever use it inside the house. I'd have to move out! ;)

I too have a black stove and I always use a microfiber cleaning cloth on it. That seems to get the dirt off and leave it sparkling clean with no spots. I rarely ever use any cleaning products, and my stove really gets dirty. Love those microfibers.

I used to have black glass top range and I always used an SOS pad to clean it. Worked great.

Wd40?????? Won't that make a gas stove blow up??

My DD was visiting last week and I was just telling her that I am pretty sure a person must be nuts to buy black appliances. My stove is also driving me bananas. It isn't worth the grief you go through trying to keep it from looking like a smeared mess.

WD40 is GREAT! The main ingredient is fish oil. Works like a polish on all kinds of stuff. Best for glass top stoves, stainless fridge fronts, dishwasher fronts, oven doors. Microwave doors. Not just for squeaky things. Best to spray on your bait too. Guaranteed to catch you a fish. Google all the uses, you WILL be astonished.
.Black appliances have met their match.

Not sure which is worse, black topped stoves or stainless (not) steel appliances!! Why, oh why, didn't I keep my old fashioned white ones??????

I have tried all of these suggestions with the exception of the WD 40 I can't stand the way it smells either. It looks beautiful and then I blink - it's weird. Its like wearing a pair of black slacks and owning a white Angora cat. It came with the rental of this house. But when its my choice it will be a nice white stove. I have learned to ignore it now that I've seen -make that heard -my brother cleaning his stainless steel kitchen. Personally I like nice white stoves and fridge's..

There is a product called Oven and Grill GooGone that is the best thing I have ever found. I get mine at the local True Value Hardware. I spray it on and kind of smear it around all over. Let it sit while I finish up everything else in the kitchen, then take a clean wash wet wash cloth and just wipe it down. It is absolutely effortless. For the other little spots and waterspots I just wipe with the Clorox wet wipes and its done. Kitchen takes no time anymore and I love it

Just to set the record straight on WD40, I found this snopes page:
http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/household/wd-40.asp

According to the MSDS for WD40, there is no fish oil in the product. Ingredients are primarily petroleum-based (which to me means you do not want to be inhaling them over long periods of time):
