Cleaning the oven glass is so annoying, especially if it’s double-glazed! With this method, you won’t have to look for different alternatives anymore.

You’re right, double-glazed oven doors can be particularly tricky to clean! The space between the panes often collects grease and grime, making it difficult to reach. Here’s a method that addresses this challenge:

The Double-Glazed Oven Door Cleaning Method:

What You’ll Need:

  • Baking soda
  • White vinegar
  • Dish soap
  • Warm water
  • Screwdriver (if your door allows disassembly)
  • Wire hanger or thin, flexible tool
  • Microfiber cloths
  • Spray bottle

Steps:

  1. Check for Disassembly:
    • Many double-glazed oven doors are designed to be disassembled for cleaning.
    • Check your oven’s manual for instructions on how to safely remove the inner glass pane.
    • If your door can be disassembled, this is the most effective way to clean between the panes.
    • If you can not disassemble the door, continue with the following steps.
  2. Prepare the Cleaning Paste:
    • Mix baking soda with a small amount of warm water to create a thick paste.
  3. Clean the Outer and Inner Surfaces:
    • Apply the baking soda paste to the outer and inner surfaces of the oven door glass.
    • Let it sit for 15-30 minutes to loosen grime.
    • Wipe away the paste with a damp microfiber cloth.
    • Spray the glass with a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water to further remove any remaining residue.
    • Wipe the glass clean.
  4. Cleaning Between the Panes (If Disassembly Is Not Possible):
    • If you cannot disassemble the door, you’ll need to use a thin, flexible tool to reach between the panes.
    • Straighten a wire hanger and wrap a microfiber cloth around the end, securing it with tape.
    • If there are any small holes at the bottom of the oven door, that is there for drainage.
    • Spray a cleaning solution of dish soap and warm water, or the vinegar and water solution, into the drainage holes.
    • Carefully insert the cloth-covered hanger into the drainage holes and gently wipe the inside of the glass.
    • Repeat this process, using clean sections of the cloth, until the glass is clean.
    • Use a dry portion of the cloth to dry the inside of the glass.
  5. Reassemble (If Applicable):
    • If you disassembled the door, carefully reassemble it according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Tips and Considerations:

  • Stubborn Stains: For very stubborn stains, you may need to repeat the cleaning process or let the baking soda paste sit for longer.
  • Safety: Be careful when using tools inside the oven door to avoid scratching the glass or damaging any internal components.
  • Prevention: To prevent buildup in the future, wipe down the oven door after each use and perform a deep clean every few months.
  • Manual: Always consult your oven’s manual for specific cleaning instructions.

This method should help you tackle even the most stubborn grime on your double-glazed oven door!
