How to Clean a Glass Oven Door: A Step-by-Step Guide

Grease and grime build up on your oven door, affecting its appearance and performance. With simple household items, you can restore its clarity and keep it spotless effortlessly.

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

Having the right tools makes cleaning easier and protects the glass. Using proper supplies helps remove grease and grime effectively without causing damage.

Step 2: Remove Loose Debris

Before cleaning, remove crumbs, dust, and food particles to avoid spreading grease. Skipping this step can make the process messier and less effective.

Wipe the glass with a microfiber cloth or paper towel. For stuck debris, use a plastic scraper or old credit card, applying gentle pressure to avoid scratching the surface.

Step 3: Apply a Baking Soda Paste

Baking soda paste is a safe and effective way to remove grease and stains. Its mild abrasive properties break down grime without scratching the glass, making cleaning easier.

How to do the paste

Mix ½ cup of baking soda with water to form a thick paste. Spread it on the glass with a sponge, focusing on stains. Let it sit for 15–20 minutes to break down grease and grime.

Step 4: Wipe and Scrub Gently

Wipe off the baking soda paste with a damp cloth in circular motions to lift grease. For stubborn stains, use a plastic scraper. Finish with warm, soapy water if needed, then dry the glass.

Step 5: Use Vinegar for Extra Shine

Use white vinegar to remove streaks and grease. Spray undiluted vinegar on the glass, wipe with a microfiber cloth, and buff with a paper towel for a streak-free shine and odor removal.

Step 6: Clean Between the Glass Panels (If Needed)

Grease can get trapped between double glass panels. If removable, unscrew carefully, clean with vinegar and a cloth, then dry before reassembling. If sealed, consider a professional cleaning service.

Step 7: Maintain Regularly to Avoid Buildup

Maintain a clean oven door by wiping it after each use, cleaning spills immediately, using liners to catch drips, and deep cleaning every few weeks to prevent stubborn grease buildup.
