Introduction:
Cleaning the inside glass of your oven can seem like a daunting task, especially when it’s not removable. Over time, the glass can accumulate grease, food spills, and baked-on stains. However, with the right tools and techniques, you can restore your oven’s glass to its sparkling, streak-free shine without the need for removal. In this guide, we’ll walk you through an easy, effective way to clean the glass using household ingredients you likely already have.
Ingredients:
Baking soda
White vinegar
Dish soap (optional)
Warm water
Microfiber cloth or soft sponge
Spray bottle
Rubber gloves (optional)
Instructions:
Prep the Oven: Start by ensuring your oven is completely cool. If you’ve just used it, allow it to cool down to a safe temperature before cleaning.
Create the Cleaning Paste: In a small bowl, mix ¼ cup of baking soda with a little water. Stir until you get a paste-like consistency. The paste should be thick enough to stick to the glass without dripping.
Apply the Paste: Spread the baking soda paste over the inside glass of the oven. Focus on areas with stubborn stains or grease buildup. Be generous with the application but avoid getting the paste on other oven components.
Let It Sit: Allow the paste to sit on the glass for at least 15-20 minutes. This gives the baking soda time to break down grease and grime.
Spray with Vinegar: After the paste has had time to sit, spray white vinegar over the glass. You’ll notice some fizzing action, which helps lift the dirt and debris.
Wipe the Glass: Using a microfiber cloth or a soft sponge, gently scrub the glass in circular motions. For tough spots, reapply the paste and let it sit a bit longer. Be gentle to avoid scratching the glass surface.
Rinse and Dry: Once the glass is clean, rinse it with warm water and wipe off any residue. Dry the glass with a clean, dry microfiber cloth for a streak-free finish.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Regular cleaning: To prevent buildup, try to clean your oven glass every couple of months or after particularly messy cooking sessions.
Store your cleaning supplies in a cool, dry place, and be sure to replenish your baking soda and vinegar as needed.
