We all love to have a clean home but there are some parts of the home that may be more difficult to clean than others. This includes the oven, especially the space between the glass panels of the oven door.
If you’ve ever felt frustrated as the grease and grime continue to accumulate in between the oven door glass, you are not alone. It makes it difficult to see what is in the oven, which is important when you are cooking.
Fortunately, there is a simple hack that can help you clean the oven door glass easily, even from the inside. It can be done in a short amount of time, it just takes a little determination.
Oven doors are designed with glass layers to keep you safe and to provide insulation. It’s not unusual for food particles and grease to find their way between the glass panels, making it look as if you never clean them. It can also impact the performance of the oven.
Since most ovens come with two or more glass panels, it is good to know how to clean in between them. As long as you can access that area to clean the space, there is a method that allows you to do so.
To prepare for the task, get a wire hanger or a flexible tool along with some rubber bands, a microfiber cloth, and some glass cleaning solution. You can then follow these step-by-step instructions to get the job done:
1. Unplug the oven and ensure it is completely cool before starting.
2. Straighten a wire hanger and attach a microfiber cloth to one end using rubber bands.
3. Spray the cleaning solution onto the cloth.
4. Carefully insert the cloth-wrapped hanger into the vent slots at the top or bottom of the oven door.
5. Gently move the hanger back and forth to clean the glass surfaces.
6. Remove the hanger and check the results, repeating the process if necessary.
Before you do this, ensure that the oven is off, unplugged, and cool. Caution should be exercised not to scratch the glass using the wire hanger or to damage the doors. Protect your hands with gloves.
You will find that the clean oven doors look fantastic but it also makes the oven more efficient. It allows you to check on the cooking progress without pulling the door open, so the temperature is more consistent in the oven area.
If you are going to try this method, don’t use overly abrasive materials or harsh chemicals. Don’t force the hanger into areas where it is difficult to fit as you could lead to scratching or breaking of the glass. Make sure the cloth is attached securely.
This is a simple thing to do and you would be surprised with how happy you will be once it is done.
