To clean oven glass, both inside and outside, follow these steps for effective results:

Supplies Needed

• White vinegar or lemon juice
• Baking soda
• Water
• Gloves
• Spray bottle
• Microfiber cloths
• Plastic scraper or flexible spatula
• Clean towels
• Small bowl for mixing

Cleaning the Outside Oven Glass

1. Ensure the oven is fully cooled.
2. Spray the glass with white vinegar or lemon juice for light smudges.
3. For tougher residue, make a paste of ½ cup baking soda with 3 tablespoons water, apply it to the glass, and let sit for 20 minutes.
4. Wipe off with a warm, damp microfiber cloth.
5. Buff dry with a clean, dry microfiber cloth to avoid streaks.

Cleaning the Inside Oven Glass

1. Oven must be cooled down.
2. Open the door carefully; apply the baking soda paste on the glass surface and let it sit for 20 minutes or longer for baked-on grime.
3. For extra cleaning, spray a mixture of equal parts vinegar (or lemon juice) and water on the paste, causing some fizzing.
4. Wipe the paste off with a damp microfiber cloth.
5. Use a plastic scraper gently if needed to remove stubborn spots.
6. Finish by wiping the glass with the vinegar or lemon juice mixture and buff dry.

Tips

• No need to remove the oven door for most cleaning unless specifically desired for deep cleaning.
• Avoid abrasive tools that can scratch the glass.
• For cleaning between glass panes, some ovens allow door removal and glass disassembly; if so, clean between panes with soapy cloth attached to a stick and dry thoroughly before reassembling.

This method balances effective cleaning with care to prevent damage to the oven glass.
