lemon juice and ash with newspaper

Vinegar and ash seemed to be working for me, but as the stains were well established was hard work. I took the front off, laid it down and covered it for 15-30 minutes with a piece of kitchen towel roll soaked in vinegar. The stain was then much easier to remove by scraping with a blade and cleaning with ash and paper.

When the stove is cold, use vinegar with wire wool to help remove the stubborn tar stains from the glass, and then remove the residue with paper towel. We did this carefully so that it didn't scratch the glass surface, and were really impressed with the results.

Afterwards, when using the stove, keep the vents open to slow-down the build-up.

I use Mr Muscle oven cleaner.
Spray it on the glass,leave for 30 mins and the build up on the glass just wipes off,leaving it clean and sparkling.
That way there is no hard work involved:j

Using Mr Muscle and Hobbrite type products are not MSE and are not environmentaly friendly either.

Use wire wool with an ash and vinegar paste and scrub over. Rinse off with warm water and polish up with newspaper.
