Old housewives didn't have those sort of hobs and scouring powder is a no no. :)
I use those stainless steel scourers, wetted, and a kitchen spray cleaner like MrMuscle. You only need a very light rub. Dry with kitchen paper towel.
My glass hob is 8 years old and looks exactly as it did when I bought it.

So does Mrs. Buildersmate's.
Its a question of avoiding using it when it isn't spotless, which means just a little bit of maintenance after each use. Deterioration occurs gradually from deposits on the surface getting impregnated into the surface of the glass. The worst is sugary stuff like fruit or marmalade boiling over. Take immediate action if this happens - get the pan off and get it cooled and watered down.
We do use a blade at an acute angle to remove odd pimply hard lumps but only after a 'bad' cook - it doesn't scratch when used in this way but may be slightly quicker than Ethel's method (which works most times).

I dont know if the cleaning products are any good but the blades will be, as buildersmate said, its a blade on a acute angle.
I dont have one but have razor blades with a blunt edge which you can hold( got these from my old job) just scrape away at an angle and you wont danage the hob but will remove any hard to remove bits.

I just put a small smear of CIF on any marks before I start washing up, by the time I have finished the dishes the Cif has softened the marks and usually wipes over with a foam pan scrubber, (the soft ones) any stubborn marks come off with a stainless steel scourer as Ethel says. I had my last ceramic hob for 15years and it was pristine, so I use the same method on my new one. In fact I use CIF for most job around the house, saves having all those separate products for kitchen sinks, bathroom,loo, which saves money and storage space. I think it is ace! Rosy
