Cleaning dirty oven glass can be a challenging task, but there are effective methods you can try. Here’s a popular trick that many find effective:
Baking Soda and Vinegar Method:
- Mix a Paste:
- In a bowl, mix about 1/2 cup of baking soda with a few tablespoons of water. Stir until you have a spreadable paste.
- Apply the Paste:
- Spread the paste over the dirty oven glass, making sure to cover the entire surface evenly. Concentrate on areas with stubborn stains.
- Let it Sit:
- Allow the paste to sit on the glass for at least 15-20 minutes. This gives it time to break down the grime and grease.
- Scrub the Glass:
- Use a non-abrasive scrubber or an old toothbrush to scrub the glass. Focus on the areas with the most build-up.
- Spray with Vinegar:
- Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar. Lightly spray the glass surface with vinegar. The reaction between the baking soda and vinegar will help break down and lift off more grime.
- Wipe Clean:
- Wipe away the residue with a damp cloth or sponge. You might need to rinse and wring out the cloth/sponge several times to remove all the residue.
- Inspect and Repeat:
- Check the glass. If there are still spots, you may need to repeat the process.
Remember to check your oven manual before using any cleaning methods, as some ovens have specific recommendations or restrictions. Additionally, always wear gloves and ensure good ventilation when using cleaning agents.
