"Cleaning a glass oven door is relatively simple and can be done with household items. Here’s a step-by-step guide for a DIY approach:

Materials:

• Baking soda
• Water
• White vinegar (optional)
• Dish soap (optional)
• Sponge or cloth
• Scraper or razor blade (for tough spots)
• Spray bottle (optional)

Instructions:

1. Make a Baking Soda Paste:
• Mix about 1/2 cup of baking soda with a few tablespoons of water until it forms a thick paste.
2. Apply the Paste:
• Spread the baking soda paste across the inside of the glass oven door, especially on any grimy or greasy areas.
3. Let it Sit:
• Leave the paste on the glass for 15–30 minutes to let it break down grease and baked-on stains.
4. Scrub the Glass:
• Use a sponge or soft cloth to scrub the glass, working in circular motions. If necessary, use a scraper or razor blade at a low angle to gently remove stubborn spots, being careful not to scratch the glass.
5. Wipe It Off:
• Wipe away the baking soda paste with a damp cloth. For extra shine, you can spray a little white vinegar and wipe it down again.
6. Final Rinse:
• Rinse the glass with a clean, damp cloth to remove any remaining residue, then dry with a clean towel for a streak-free finish.

This DIY method is effective, eco-friendly, and avoids the need for harsh chemicals."

"Use CIF oven cleaner. The trick is to let it steep, before scrubbing"

"A few options could be good. We have used pink stuff, leaving it on to soak for a short while. Oven cleaning boxes and save a little of the liquid after placing on the trays. Oven cleaning sprays are good, also degreasers."

"So this will depend on how the glass comes out as all ovens are different Firstly refer to your user guide under the cleaning section and it should tell you how the glass comes off from the inside, it will either be with a couple of screws, or some press in catches at the side at the top or even pulled up from the bottom towards you. but do not do anything without confirming with the manual.

~~Once you have established that you can remove the first layer of glass from the inside of the door, please be careful as the door now becomes lighter do could jump forward to close.

When you have that piece of glass out, check if there is a third piece or if it is just the two If there are three again take the next piece of glass out the door.

Now you have all the glass out, you can clean all the glass panels on both sides and dry them. once that is completed, you can put the glass back the same way you took them out, make sure the door is secure and then put the screws back in or the piece of plastic a the top of the oven door.

You have now cleaned the glass door of your oven.

If this all seems too complicated or you are unable to do it, call out a professional cleaning company who will come and clean the oven and do all the glass for you."

"Wipe your glass with a moist microfibre cloth in a circular motion to clean the excess grime and dirt. Mix your baking soda with equal parts water until it forms a thick cleaning paste. Spread a thin layer of your cleaning paste on your oven glass door. Let the paste sit on your glass door for 20-30 minutes."
