Needless to say, this product has stood the test of time and remains a great kitchen staple to keep under your sink. There are few things better than curling up in front of the fireplace with a cozy blanket and a good book.

As for ensuring your fire is burning as clean as possible, we recommend using a stove thermometer to ensure you are burning at the most efficient temperature. This stove glass cleaner is a professional-grade cleaner that is non-caustic and free from strong odours. This multipurpose stovetop cleaner doesn’t require any additional scrubbers or scrapers to remove leftover residues and stains.The glass should be at the very least cool enough to touch before you start to reduce the chances of burns. I tested the methods that you can see outlined in the table of contents below, but I’ll let you know what I think is the best way to clean wood stove glass up front.

Some users also find that this glass cleaner can leave behind a residue on the glass if you do not wipe it down with enough water after cleaning. First, try a mixture of wood stove ash and water applied to the glass with a crumpled paper bag or newspaper. The mixture was 50/50 white vinegar and water, and again it cleaned the glass without too much effort. The Dirtbusters stove glass cleaner is a thick paste with a mild abrasive designed to tackle thick soot build-up without scratching the glass.The HG glass cleaner is easy to use, and users find they can achieve great results with minimal effort.

While it's built around Dan's passion for chainsaws, wood stoves, fireplaces, axes, and so on, Naomi also contributes her many skills to make it all come together. Just make sure you read the label to check it suitable for use on glass – and, be careful around any cast iron parts or the door seal that might be damaged with chemicals and water. Weiman has been around since the 1940s, and this particular cleaning product has been around since the late 1980s. You should also make sure to clean the glass regularly as the more soot builds up, the harder it is to remove. Firstly, the brighter mornings and evenings often bring to light the darker areas of our homes we overlooked in winter – leaving many of us slightly surprised at just how murky our stove glass has become!

While the glass on an old fireplace or wood-burning stove will never look brand new again, it can be clear and bright enough to watch the flames again. It can easily cause scratches on the glass which will then be much harder (or impossible) to clean next time.

This stove glass cleaner can simply be sprayed on then wiped away after a few minutes and works very well on light deposits and fresher soot. Like the others on this list, it is designed to be applied to the glass, and left for a couple of minutes to work its magic before wiping it away. For extra dirty fireplace glass, using a dedicated glass cleaner for wood stoves is probably your next best bet, but make sure you test out ash and water first. Even modern airwash systems will still suffer from a build-up of tar and smoke when house coal is used.If the fuel is touching the glass as it burns, this will lead to the glass blackening badly in a couple of areas. It is also worth using a damp cloth as this will achieve much better results than a dry one, regardless of whether you are using a glass cleaner or simply wiping the surface in between cleans. Plain baby wipes took the surface layer of grime off the glass but didn’t get the real baked-in residue.
