The best method to clean oven glass

By Lilias

The oven is an essential appliance in our kitchens, as it allows us to cook various dishes: from meats to desserts.

This frequent use and contact with food tends to get it dirty very easily. Furthermore, if it is equipped with double glass, it can be very difficult to clean it perfectly.

We recommend: Place the oven rack in a bag and apply this, you will never scrub it again!

However, there is a very simple method to clean it effortlessly, saving energy and money at the same time.

Let’s see how to do it:

Necessary materials

  • 400 ml of water
  • 100 ml alcohol vinegar
  • Spray bottle
  • Metal hanger
  • 2 kitchen towels
  • Elastic bands

Procedure

  1. Prepare the homemade cleaner :
    • Combine 400 ml of water with 100 ml of spirit vinegar in a spray bottle. This natural cleaner is effective and safe for cleaning oven glass.
  2. Clean the inside of the oven :
    • Use the household cleaner to clean the inside of the oven as usual. Spray the mixture on the inside surfaces and wipe with a cloth to remove grease and food residue.
  3. Prepare the metal hanger :
    • Open the metal hanger and fold it back on itself to create a long, flexible tool that can be inserted between the two oven panes.
  4. Prepare the kitchen towel :
    • Spray the homemade cleaner on one of the kitchen towels. Then she wraps the cloth around the folded metal hanger.
  5. Attach the cloth to the hanger :
    • Use elastic bands to secure the cloth to the hanger. Make sure it is securely fastened so it doesn’t move while you clean.
  6. Clean between the glass :
    • Insert the hanger with the damp cloth between the two oven glasses. Scrub gently to remove accumulated dirt and debris. The metal hanger will allow you to reach hard-to-reach areas.
  7. Remove residues :
    • Repeat the previous procedure using the other clean, dry cloth to remove any traces of the cleaner and leave the oven glass spotless.

Alternative with lemon and baking soda

Another effective and natural option to clean oven glass is using lemon and baking soda. This method is equally simple and effective.

Necessary materials

  • 1 lemon
  • Sodium bicarbonate
  • Dish towel

Procedure

  1. Cut a lemon in half.
  2. Sprinkle baking soda generously over the cut surface of the lemon.
  3. Use the lemon covered in baking soda to scrub the surface of the oven glass. Apply light pressure and make circular movements to cover the entire surface.
  4. After rubbing with the lemon and baking soda, use a clean, damp kitchen towel to wipe away any residue.
  5. Make sure you remove all the baking soda and loose dirt.
  6. Finally, dry the glass with a dry cloth to avoid water marks and leave it completely clean and shiny.

Additional Tips

  • Cleaning Frequency : Clean the oven glass regularly to prevent grease and residue from building up too much, which will make cleaning easier and faster.
  • Safety : Make sure the oven is completely cool before starting cleaning to avoid burns or injuries.
  • Alternatives to vinegar : If you don’t have alcohol vinegar, you can use regular white vinegar. Both are equally effective at cleaning and disinfecting.

With this simple and effective method, you can keep the glass of your oven clean and transparent, improving both the appearance and functionality of this essential appliance in your kitchen.
