Cleaning between the glass on your oven door can seem impossible… but there’s a simple trick that actually works without disassembling the whole oven. Here’s a safe, step-by-step method:
What you need
- Baking soda
- White vinegar
- Warm water
- Soft cloth or sponge
- A spray bottle
- Optional: thin flexible spatula or an old credit card
Step 1: Remove the oven door (if possible)
- Most oven doors can lift off by unlatching the hinges.
- If you can’t remove it, you can still reach inside using a sponge or cloth.
Step 2: Make a cleaning paste
- Mix 3 tablespoons baking soda + a little water to form a thick paste.
- This is gentle but effective at dissolving grease and grime.
Step 3: Apply the paste
- Use a cloth or spatula to spread the paste between the glass layers.
- Focus on areas with baked-on residue.
- Let it sit 15–20 minutes to loosen grime.
Step 4: Add vinegar
- Spray white vinegar over the baking soda paste.
- It will fizz, which helps lift stuck-on grease.
Step 5: Wipe clean
- Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe away paste and grime.
- For corners or tight spaces, a thin spatula or old credit card works well.
Step 6: Dry and reassemble
- Dry the glass thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Reattach the door if removed.
Tips & Safety
- Don’t use abrasive scrapers or harsh chemicals — they can scratch or damage the glass.
- For stubborn grease, repeat the paste + vinegar step once more.
- Regular cleaning every few months keeps buildup minimal.
