Cleaning between the glass on your oven door can feel impossible, but there’s a surprisingly simple trick that saves a lot of scrubbing. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
You’ll Need:
- Baking soda
- White vinegar (optional)
- A spray bottle
- A soft cloth or sponge
- A plastic or silicone spatula (optional)
- Warm water
Steps:
- Remove the Oven Door (Optional but Easier)
- Most oven doors can be carefully lifted or unscrewed. Check your oven’s manual.
- Removing it makes cleaning much easier and safer.
- Access the Inside Glass
- If you can’t remove the door, look for a small gap or removable inner panel. Many ovens have clips or screws that allow you to lift the inner glass.
- Make a Cleaning Paste
- Mix 3 parts baking soda to 1 part water until you get a spreadable paste.
- Optionally, add a few drops of white vinegar for extra cleaning power.
- Apply the Paste
- Spread the baking soda paste on the inside of the glass, covering all greasy or stained areas.
- Let it sit for 15–30 minutes (or longer for tough grease).
- Scrub Gently
- Use a soft cloth, sponge, or silicone spatula to gently scrub the inside.
- Avoid anything abrasive that could scratch the glass.
- Rinse and Wipe
- Spray or dab warm water on the area to remove baking soda residue.
- Wipe thoroughly with a clean cloth.
- Reassemble the Oven Door
- Once dry, carefully put the glass or oven door back in place.
Extra Tips:
- For stubborn burnt spots: Let the paste sit overnight before wiping.
- Prevent buildup: Wipe the inside glass after every few uses to avoid heavy grease.
- Alternative trick: Some people use a thin spatula or butter knife wrapped in a cloth to reach narrow edges inside the glass.
