Ah yes 😄 cleaning in between the oven door glass can feel impossible, but there’s a clever trick that makes it super simple without dismantling the whole oven.
Here’s a safe, easy method:
🧽 Simple Trick to Clean Oven Door Glass (Between the Panes)
What You Need
- Warm water
- Dish soap
- Baking soda (optional for tough grease)
- Spray bottle
- Microfiber cloth or sponge
- Soft, thin cloth or paper towel (to reach in)
Step 1: Check Your Oven Door
- Most ovens have screws along the top or sides of the door.
- Some doors lift off easily — check your oven manual for “removable door” instructions.
- If it’s removable, take it off carefully and place it on a soft surface.
Step 2: Make Cleaning Solution
- Mix warm water + a few drops of dish soap in a spray bottle.
- For stubborn grease, sprinkle a bit of baking soda on the cloth before spraying.
Step 3: Reach Between the Glass
- Slide a soft cloth or sponge between the panes.
- Spray lightly with soapy water.
- Gently wipe any grease or grime.
Step 4: Rinse & Dry
- Use a damp cloth to remove soap residue.
- Dry thoroughly with a microfiber cloth or paper towel.
- Replace the oven door if removed.
Pro Tips
- Avoid abrasive cleaners — they can scratch the glass.
- Regular wipe-downs prevent heavy build-up.
- For very stubborn grease, let a baking soda paste sit 15–20 minutes before wiping.
This trick is safe, cheap, and surprisingly effective — no harsh chemicals or expensive tools required.
If you want, I can also show a trick using just vinegar and a toothbrush that’s even easier for narrow gaps between glass panes.
Do you want me to share that version too?
