Regularly cleaning your oven door doesn’t just keep it looking its best, but it helps it last longer too. But before you bring out the rubber gloves and get your scrub on, you need to make sure you have the right tools for the job.
Most of the cleaning supplies will probably already be in your cupboard, but there are one or two items that we use for tougher stains that you may not have. We’ve put together a quick checklist to make sure you’re ready to start.
Basic cleaning supplies:
•Gentle dish soap or oven cleaner
•Warm water
•Microfiber cloth or sponge
•Vinegar or lemon juice
•Baking soda
Optional tools for stubborn stains:
•Scraper tool
•Non-abrasive scrub brush
1. Ensure your oven is switched off and cool to the touch.
2. Pop some gentle dish soap in warm water.
3. Dip a soft cloth or sponge into the soapy water and gently scrub the outside surface of the glass door.
4. Rinse the cloth or sponge and wipe away any soapy residue.
5. To clean the inside of the glass, you might need to remove the oven door. Refer to your oven's user manual for instructions.
6. Once the door is removed, use the soapy water solution and a non-abrasive sponge to clean the interior glass.
7. Focus on any stubborn stains, gently scrubbing until they are gone.
8. Rinse the glass with clean water and dry it with a soft, lint-free cloth.
9. If there are stains between the glass panels, disassemble the door according to your oven model’s instructions.

An easy way to remove brown stains from your oven door is to mix baking soda, vinegar and water to make a paste and apply it to the area with a soft cloth. Let is sit for a few minutes, then simple wipe it – and the stains – away.
Try mixing a hydrogen peroxide-based bleach with baking soda until it forms a paste. Pop it on your oven door and leave it for 15 minutes, then wipe it away with a damp cloth.
A simple mixture of white vinegar and water can remove burn marks from an oven door. Just spray it on the area and wipe away with soft cloth.
You can try using warm water with some dish soap to loosen any grease, while a good quality oven cleaner can remove stains without the need for baking soda or vinegar.
