Self-cleaning ovens make oven cleaning quick and easy. With the push of button, your oven heats up to a temperature that it essentially cleans itself. Even if you have a self-cleaning oven, the glass door may require some extra cleaning. Food, grease and carbon build up on the glass oven door, and sometimes the self-cleaning feature cannot clean this build up off. Cleaning oven doors does not have to be a dreaded task. If you use the right products and methods, you can clean oven glass in no time.
Mix 2 tbsp cream of tartar and 1 tbsp white vinegar in a bowl. Stir with a spoon until a paste forms.
Scoop the paste from the bowl with a paper towel. Spread the mixture all over the glass oven door.
Close the oven door and let the mixture sit on the glass for at least 2 hours. Wipe down the door with a damp sponge to remove the paste residue.
Wipe down the door with a dry towel to remove any moisture.
Combine 3 parts baking soda and 1 part water into a bowl if the oven glass door is still dirty. Mix the ingredients with a spoon until a thick paste forms.
Spread the paste onto the dirty oven glass. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes before wiping it off with a damp sponge. Go over the glass with a dry rag to remove moisture and residue.
Tip
