Ovens and Stoves. Clean oven and stove door windows

Clean that brown stained oven door glass fast using this tip. This is not as impossible as you might think. Just make a paste of water and baking soda, a thick paste and then cover the glass on the door with the mixture and leave it on for about 10 minutes. Then rinse off with water and you can see the grease and gunk come right off!

Prevent grease build-up in your oven by frequently wiping it with vinegar between deep cleanings.

Cleaning glass oven door Comments By: CHELLE I tried the baking soda and water paste. I left it on the glass for over 15 minutes because the grease build up looks pretty heavy. After rinsing with a sponge and water, there seemed to be no difference.   Be CAREFUL cleaning oven windows! Comments By: Linda McGregor I've ruined oven windows by putting too much liquid on the inside of the glass. It seeps through and makes a moisture leak between the two layers of glass. Also, baking soda is ABRASIVE, so be careful not to scrub with the soda on it. It will scratch! I've found that spraying oven cleaner DIRECTLY on a soft rag, then wiping window is best. DO NOT spray oven cleaner directly on window. It will ruin the window. Also, try not to clean oven window while it is hot!   not very good Comments By: claire baking soda was a diappointment. i used wd40 spray and was amased by the results. let it sit for a few mins and wipe clean.   It doesn't work. Comments By: Cleaner is Better I tried this -- thick paste and all -- for 12-15 minutes and it make absolutely NO difference. This is a useless suggestion.   Oven glass ! Comments By: Bruce Kain What a load of pants !! doesn't work. Also baking soda will not scratch the glass, i have used wire wool and even this does not scratch the glass   Amazed by the soda! Comments By: Abinaia Honestly worked on 98% of my nasty brown grease splats. Some mini spots here and there, but overall I have a shiny see-through glass door. Looks soooo much better!!!   I was totally impressed Comments By: Kbb It worked like a charm for me. I didn't let it sit but continued to rub it around with my fingers- I could feel the grease come off.   Baking soda! Comments By: Ldw Linda McGregor above said that baking soda was ABRASIVE. Now that's funny - if it were there would be a warning label on the box. Baking soda is smoooooth & fine as a baby's butt, so abrasive it is not. Anyway - I used to clean my inside oven door glass with all kinds of scrubbers and cleaners to no avail. What DOES work with NO scratches is - Take a small handful of baking soda & sprinkle it on the cooled glass. Then, using a PLASTIC scrubbing sponge use circular motions while absorbing the soda. Works fantastic. Baking soda can be used for cleaning just about everything in your kitchen & bath.   Unbelievable Comments By: Joe This was unbelievable.I had tried regular cleaner with no effect.I applied bicarbonate of soda (assume this is baking soda) and with green non scratch gauze and a little elbow grease,mainly by my 10 year old daughter,the result was outstanding   cannot access the dirty side on inside of glass door Comments By: Joseph M. Desper There seems to be no way to get access to the dirty inside of the glass door. Your answers may or may not work but I can`t even try them without access to the inside of the door where the grease and scum have accumulated.   Worked like a charm! Comments By: Muzzie I used the baking soda paste on my oven door while it was still warm. Then using a non abrasive Dobie Sponge, rubbed the glass lightly. Wiped it clean with water, then used a little vinegar and water to polish!! Looks great!   It most definitely works!! Comments By: katie My oven door is now sparkling. Thank you. Baking soda paste ... ten minutes, used a scrubby in circular motion. Rinse. Amazing.   unscrew the doors Comments By: Sarah I had drips between the glass and I found that i could easily unscrew the two screws at the top and then the front glass (door and frame too) came off for easy cleaning of all glass doors. I am trying a paste of vinegar and Bicarb... Otherwise I call Alan the local Oven Clean guy who costs a fortune .... but makes the oven look like new again..x   HELP! What to do with INBETWEEN windows! Comments By: M. Rickert I've accidentally dripped liquid INBETWEEN the windows of the stove. HOW does one EVER get to clean this? Am I doomed to have streaks forever? Any suggestions? And YES baking soda IS awesome for cleaning up the "outer" windows! ;-)   Gleaming!!! Comments By: Pinksorrell I cleaned the glass oven door using this tip and it came up gleaming! I wetted the surface with water,shook a layer of baking powder over it and dripped on some white vinegar. I only white wine vinegar in the cupboard so used that. Very soon afterwards, I rubbed the door and mixture with a scouring pad and the built-on grease came off in an instant. I've never got it cleaner!
