Thanks for all the advise guys - will start at the top and work my way through.

I think though it will take real chemicals, really is welded on!

tried the hobrite and sharp thing - but would have been just as well licking it :eek:

Another friend recommended a brillo pad so will give that a shot with mr mcscle..

Do have the ovenpride, but was saving that for the shelves - really quite scary how minging the oven can get :eek: :eek:

I use scrunched up newspaper smeared with ash and vinegar to clean the glass door of my woodburning stove. I imagine it wouldn't be too different.

Do you burn a lot of grease in your woodburner?

I use Astonish paste, and get the really stubborn bits off with a glass scraper. I use the same for the wire shelves too.

Just pour a little of the ovenpride on to the glass and work it in - it's the only thing that worked on mine.

Is the glass removable? If it can be, soak it in hot water and bio washing powder (along with the shelves) - make the dead easy to clean.

If not, I haven't tried it but maybe you could make a paste of above powder and a little water......either way it will need to be left to work for a few hours tho.

Get a scraper that you use for cleaning BBQs similar idea to the ones used for cleaning ceramic hobs and soak a hot cloth with vinegar on the door with bicarb of soda and alot of elbow grease. I don't use chemicals. It does take ages but cleans up well using them.

Lakelands ovenmate does a really good job of cleaning the glass door on my oven. One thing I like is that it is quite a thick brush on paste so I don't have to remove the glass first. I worry about dropping the glass and breaking it..

It is expensive but what is left will keep for another cleaning job. One bottle lasts me ages.

I know it's not going to help you clean the oven now but I always just give my oven a wipe over when it's still warm and in the 37 years since I've had my own home I can honestly say I have never had to use an oven cleaner.
I do buy the Lakeland oven cleaner for my gas burner covers and it's brilliant stuff and as rosalie lavender says it lasts ages.
I've still got a half bottle left and I bought it about six years ago you need so little.

You could try one of those scrapers that are for getting paint off windows.
