This Cooktop Cleaner Paste from Weiman is a high-viscosity abrasive suspension designed for the removal of carbonized soil. Unlike liquid sprays, the high density of this paste allows for a prolonged dwell time, which is essential for breaking the molecular bond of burnt-on sugars and proteins. Specifications reveal a calcium carbonate and quartz abrasive matrix that provides the mechanical friction needed for heavy cleaning while protecting the glass-ceramic surface.
The formula also includes citric acid, which acts as a chelating agent to dissolve mineral scale from hard water. Polydimethylsiloxanes are integrated to provide a protective, high-surface-tension barrier that helps prevent future "pitting." While this paste requires more manual effort than a spray, it is considered a baseline tool for restoring surfaces with significant debris and leaving them with a clear finish.
For a lighter maintenance option that utilizes a similar chemistry in a more fluid form, the Weiman Daily Polish 2-Pack is a convenient alternative.
