Cleaning a glass oven door

Prudent

I have just used oven pride for the first time to clean my oven. I am now doing the wait before I can take it off again. The box said not to use it on glass oven doors. I tried cleaning the door with a lemon, fairy liquid & white vinegar & Mr Muscle kitchen cleaner. It still has greasy marks & brown spots. Does anyone have any suggestions please?

I can take the greasy glass sheet out to clean. There is another glass sheet built into the door and then this one slots in front of it.

Oven Pride is a fantastic product. I've used it many a time on my oven glass door (inner) with-out any problems. Try using it on a small area first say bottom right hand side and see how it goes.

Hi PRUDENT there is an amazing product that you can get in the 99p shops or places like hardware shops called ASTONISH oven and cookware cleaner. It's a paste in a small square topped tub which is the best thing I've ever found for cleaning oven glass. It works on hobs and inside ovens too and on pots and pans and is non scratch and very easy to use. Hope that helps, Lyn xxx.

I used oven pride on the glass doors of my oven. I wont say it didn't make a difference because it did but it didn't work as well as the rest of the oven. It certainly hasn't harmed the glass.

if you have bicarb in the house use that.

Most abrasive cleaners have chalk in them to to help remove stains. Bicarb works just as well on it is own. Mix it with a little water to make a paste and use.

Thank you everyone. I have used up all the oven pride on the oven & racks. I should have asked her first! I have bicarb, so will try that. If that doesn't work, I will have a hunt for Astonish in the shops. I will report back. Thank you

"Q. Can Brillo® Steel Wool Soap Pads or Brillo® Singles be used to clean glass?
A. Yes, as long as there is soap in the steel wool pad, it is safe to clean glass surfaces"

I use a value brand 'cream cleaner' (Jif/Cif substitute) and one of those washing up sponges with the green abrasive layer. I also use the cream cleaner with one of those curly metal scrim scourers for particularly burnt on bits.

Takes a little elbow grease but comes up absolutely spotless and less messily caustic chemicals. Easier to do if you can remove the glass for cleaning - mine comes off by loosening a couple of screws.

I'm sure some people will say that there's a risk of it scratching the glass but I've never noticed that it does - used this method for years. Glass is extremely hard - it's actually quite difficult to scratch it (although my dishwasher does somehow!), and it's chemical make-up means that very few substances react with it or damage it - hence why it's popular for cookware and used to glaze earthenware/ceramics.

I do the inside of my oven this way as well, but it hasn't got a 'self cleaning' coating - I think this method wouldn't work on one that had. Mine is plain old black enamel inside and, again, never noticed it getting scratched by my cleaning method - it's still all shiny after 10 years.

I think it makes a difference how long you leave it between cleans as well - if I leave it for months and use the oven a lot or for very messy or oily foods it can take ages to do with my method, but if I do it once a month then just a 5/10 mins regular clean keeps it looking, literally, showroom new.

Keeping food covered in the oven helps cut down cleaning as well - if you do a lot of roast joints, oven chips etc and place stuff directly on open/grill type oven shelves with no drip tray, it will get dirtier than if you do mostly covered casseroles or always wrap stuff in foil and put it on baking sheets.

My DH cleans my oven because I can no longer kneel due to osteoarthritis in both knees and a compressed disc in my neck.
He uses a mix of washing up liquid and vinegar, smears it on, waits 20 minutes and then uses a scraper to get everything off, he does this on the ceramic hob as well.

I use 'Bar Keepers Friend' on mine and it works a treat

Brillo pad on the glass, and a bit of elbow grease.
