Everyone Will Want to Know How They Managed to Clean the Inside Glass of the Oven So Well

Step-by-Step Guide to Clean the Inside Glass of the Oven

Step 1: Turn Off and Cool Down the Oven

The first step is essential for safety. Always ensure that the oven is completely off and has cooled down before starting the cleaning process. Never attempt to clean a hot oven to avoid burns or injuries. Wait until the oven is at room temperature before you begin.

Step 2: Remove Oven Racks and Clean Them Separately

Before focusing on the glass door, take out any oven racks. Cleaning the racks separately will allow you to work more freely inside the oven without worrying about knocking them into the glass door.

You can clean the racks by soaking them in hot, soapy water for 15-20 minutes. If they are particularly dirty, you can add some baking soda to the water for extra cleaning power. After soaking, scrub the racks with a sponge or brush, rinse them, and set them aside to dry.

Step 3: Create a Baking Soda Paste

The key to cleaning the inside glass of the oven is a baking soda paste that helps break down grease and grime without scratching the glass. Here’s how you can make it:

1. Mix the Paste: In a small bowl, mix ½ cup of baking soda with a few tablespoons of water. Stir the mixture until it forms a thick paste. If needed, add more water or baking soda to reach the desired consistency.
2. Apply the Paste to the Glass: Use a spoon or a spatula to spread the paste evenly over the inside glass of the oven door. Focus on areas that have visible grease buildup or stains. Make sure to cover the entire surface for maximum effectiveness.

Step 4: Let the Paste Sit and Soak

Once the baking soda paste is applied, let it sit for at least 15-20 minutes. For more stubborn stains, you may want to leave it on for up to an hour. During this time, the baking soda will work its magic by loosening the baked-on grease and grime, making it easier to remove.

Step 5: Spray with Vinegar Solution

After allowing the baking soda paste to sit, the next step is to activate it with vinegar. Fill a spray bottle with equal parts white vinegar and water. Spray this mixture over the baking soda paste. You’ll notice the paste fizz and bubble as the vinegar reacts with the baking soda. This fizzing action helps lift the dirt and grease.
