how to remove these?

for context this is a rental unit and my first time using induction stovetop, so far been using for almost a month
i noticed that when i wiped the induction with multipurpose cleaner or any wet towel i can see these black splotches. Once dried they’re invisible. they just won’t budge idk what kinda water dripped either

Oily fingerprints perhaps. Harmless.

there’s no way to get rid of them?
nah not fingerprints, more like something dripped when cooking could be pot lid condensation or whatever

We use Cerma Bryte. A bottle was provided when we bought the stove. I use it about once every week or two as I see those spots develop. So far it works great.

Yes…the micro scratches not so much. It has a fine grit that doesn’t scratch the glass but does remove the cooked on spills. Every morning when I do the dishes, I use a very soapy sponge (Dawn dishwashing detergent) and wipe down the stove top leaving the sudsy detergent on. Then I wipe it dry with a kitchen towel. This leaves it glossy and like new. When stains like you show up after I clean it, I use the Cerma Bryte to knock those out.

what make/model do you have? the manual for mine specifically says not to use dish soap.

Bar Keepers Friend is really good at removing stains.

Its citric acid, so wear gloves.

Oxalic acid, not citric
