For Heavy Duty Cleaning:
If your oven is extremely dirty and hasn't been cleaned in a while, you can repeat the process or leave the solution to sit for longer before scrubbing. You can also combine the dishwasher tablet with a mixture of vinegar and baking soda for additional stain-fighting power.
For Stubborn Glass Stains:
For tough stains on the oven glass, apply a paste of baking soda and water before using the dishwasher tablet solution. This will help break down tough grease or burned food residues. Let the paste sit for 15 minutes before scrubbing.
