Tip 1: Baking Soda Paste – The Classic Cleaner
Baking soda is a powerhouse when it comes to household cleaning. Its mild abrasive properties help lift grime without scratching surfaces.
Instructions:
- Mix 2–3 tablespoons of baking soda with just enough water to form a thick paste.
- Apply the paste directly onto the oven glass using your fingers or a sponge.
- Let it sit for 15–20 minutes to soften the grease and grime.
- Gently scrub the glass with a damp sponge or cloth.
- Wipe away the residue with a clean, wet cloth and dry with a towel.
💡 Pro tip: For extra stubborn stains, cover the paste with a warm, damp cloth for a few minutes before wiping—it helps loosen the buildup even faster.*
Tip 2: Vinegar Spray – Boost the Power
White vinegar is a natural degreaser and works wonders when paired with baking soda. The fizzing reaction helps break down tough residues and leaves behind a streak-free shine.
Instructions:
- After applying the baking soda paste (as in Tip 1), spritz or pour white vinegar over the affected area.
- Watch it fizz and foam as it starts dissolving the grime.
- Wait a few minutes, then wipe off the mixture with a clean, damp cloth.
- Rinse thoroughly with water and polish dry with a soft towel.
💡 Bonus benefit: Vinegar also deodorizes your oven, leaving it smelling fresh and clean.
Tip 3: Soap and Razor Scraper – Tackle Tough Stains
For those really stubborn spots that won’t budge with just baking soda and vinegar, this method can be a lifesaver.
Instructions:
- Mix a few drops of dish soap with warm water in a bowl.
- Soak a clean cloth or sponge in the soapy solution and place it on the oven glass for 5–10 minutes to soften the grime.
- Using a plastic scraper or a razor blade held at a 45° angle , gently scrape off the loosened residue. Be careful not to scratch the glass surface.
- Wipe the glass with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
⚠️ Important note: If using a razor blade, always ensure it’s plastic-safe or designed for oven use. Hold it flat against the glass and never press too hard.
