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 tend to make it dirty very easily. In addition, 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 have to 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 of 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 alcohol vinegar in a spray bottle. This natural cleaner is effective and safe for cleaning oven glass.
  2. Cleaning the inside of the oven :
    • Use the homemade cleaner to clean the inside of the oven as usual. Spray the mixture on the interior surfaces and wipe with a cloth to remove grease and food residue.
  3. Prepare the metal hanger :
    • Open the metal hanger and bend it over itself to create a long, flexible tool that can be inserted between the two oven panes.
  4. Prepare the kitchen cloth :
    • Spray the homemade cleaner onto one of the kitchen towels. Then, wrap the towel around the bent metal hanger.
  5. Attach the cloth to the hanger :
    • Use elastic bands to secure the cloth to the hanger. Make sure it is secured tightly so that it does not shift while you clean.
  6. Clean between the windows :
    • Insert the hanger with the damp cloth between the two oven glass panes. Rub gently to remove any accumulated dirt and residue. The metal hanger will allow you to reach hard-to-reach areas.
  7. Disposal of waste :
    • Repeat the above procedure using the other clean, dry cloth to remove any remaining cleaner and leave the oven glass spotless.

Alternative with lemon and baking soda

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

Necessary materials

  • 1 lemon
  • Baking soda
  • Dishcloth

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 use circular motions to cover the entire surface.
  4. After scrubbing with lemon and baking soda, use a clean, damp kitchen cloth to wipe away any residue.
  5. Make sure to 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 beginning 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 for 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 the functionality of this essential appliance in your kitchen.
