A Simple Trick to Clean Your Oven Door Glass

A dirty oven door glass can make your whole kitchen look messy, even if everything else is clean. Grease, burnt food, and stubborn stains build up over time—but with one simple trick, you can make it sparkle again without harsh chemicals.

The Easy Trick: Baking Soda Paste

This method is effective, affordable, and uses ingredients you likely already have at home.

What You’ll Need

Baking soda
Water
A soft cloth or sponge
Optional: white vinegar

Step-by-Step Instructions

Make the Paste
- Mix baking soda with a small amount of water until it forms a thick paste.
Apply to the Glass
- Spread the paste evenly over the oven door glass, focusing on greasy or burnt areas.
Let It Sit
- Leave it for 15–30 minutes. This helps loosen stubborn grime.
Gently Scrub
- Use a soft cloth or sponge to scrub in circular motions.
Wipe Clean
- Remove the residue with a damp cloth.
Optional Shine Boost
- Spray a little vinegar and wipe again for a streak-free finish.

Why It Works

Baking soda is a mild abrasive, so it lifts dirt without scratching
It also breaks down grease and baked-on residue effectively

Extra Tips

Avoid steel wool or harsh scrubbers—they can scratch the glass
Clean regularly to prevent heavy buildup
For very stubborn stains, repeat the process or let the paste sit longer

Bottom Line

With just baking soda and a little patience, you can restore your oven door glass to a clear, like-new shine—no expensive cleaners needed.
