Are you tired of seeing streaks and grime on your oven door even after running a self-cleaning cycle? You’re not alone in this struggle, but fret not; we have some effective tips to help you banish those pesky grease marks from both the inside and outside of your oven glass. Say goodbye to the frustration of a grimy oven door and hello to sparkling clean glass.
In every home, there are those cleaning tasks that tend to get procrastinated – baseboards, light fixtures, and, undoubtedly, the oven door glass. When it comes to tackling the oven door, it can be quite intimidating. Food residue, grease, and grime seem to cling to the glass, making it appear nearly impossible to restore its shine.
However, there’s a solution on the horizon: Mr. Clean’s Magic Wipe. This magical cleaning sponge is equipped with abrasive and cleaning agents that make it a formidable weapon against stubborn dirt.
Here’s how to use it: Start by wetting the Magic Eraser with water and applying a small amount to the oven glass. It might require a bit more elbow grease, but the results will undoubtedly be worth it. Afterward, wipe it clean with a damp cloth. This simple process will leave you with a gleaming oven door, and you won’t need to conceal it with a tea towel any longer.
Now, let’s address the challenge of cleaning the glass between the layers. This task might require a bit more effort, but it’s entirely doable with the right tools and a little patience.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Your oven’s instruction manual (you can find it online if you’ve misplaced yours).
- A screwdriver.
- A clean towel or sheet (not your finest one).
- Half a cup of baking soda.
- Water.
- A small or medium-sized bowl.
- A microfiber cloth.
- Razor blade (optional).
- A helping hand.
Follow these steps:
- Open the oven door and inspect the screws. Note that many ovens use star-shaped screws, so if needed, head to the hardware store and grab a star-shaped screwdriver before proceeding.
- Lay a towel on your kitchen floor to protect it.
- Refer to your oven’s manual for instructions on removing the oven door.
- Enlist the assistance of someone to help you remove the door; it’s heavier than you might think, so don’t attempt it alone.
- Place the door on a towel or sheet with the inside window facing upward.
- Remove the screws from the door; typically, there are two at the window, and depending on your oven’s model, there might be two more at the bottom of the oven door.
- Separate the door into two halves, keeping the innermost glass of the door facing up.
- Follow the instructions mentioned in the “How to clean the inside of the oven window” section above.
- If you have a helping hand, reassemble the oven door and put it back in place.
