In a few short weeks, it will be time to slide your turkey into the oven! Now is the time to prepare your oven for holiday meals and baking.
Since most ovens are self cleaning, what are we talking about? Many of our customers ask about how to clean that stubborn, brown splatter from your inner glass door. We decided to offer you a few methods. Before we do, if your oven light bulb has gone out, order a replacement today! Nothing is more frustrating than having to open your oven to check a cake and let the temperature drop. Click below to find your replacement oven light bulb:
Ready to start cleaning? Here’s one method recommended by many homeowners for light jobs:
- Use a scraper or old credit card to remove stuck-on food that will scrape off easily.
- Mix ½ cup baking soda with a few tablespoons of water to create a paste.
- Spread the paste over the oven glass and let sit for about 20 minutes allowing the debris to break down and soften.
- Use a soft cloth or sponge to start gently scrubbing the glass in circular motions. A non-abrasive scrubbing pad is helpful for extra stubborn spots.
- Mix equal parts vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray the glass and use a soft cloth to wipe the glass. Repeat until the oven glass sparkles.
- Do a final rinse with water and use a microfiber cloth.
If you have a really grimy oven glass, one of our customer recommends the following:
- Purchase a scraper and some non-abrasive scrubbing pads made for cooktops. Here are links to both items:
Non-Abrasive Pads (These are non-metal and anti-bacterial, too!)
- A product we offer for cooktop cleaning also works well on glass. It’s called Cerama Bryte® Cooktop Cleaner. There’s a kit including a scraper or it can be purchased separately. They also make a Burnt-On Grease Remover. Here are links to these products:

Cerama Bryte Cleaning Kit With Cleaner Scraper & Scratch-Free Pads
- Spread the cleaner over ¼ of the glass space. Allow it to penetrate for about 5 minutes.
- Using your scraper or blade, scrape gently at a 45 degree angle. Wipe away and move to the next segment of the oven glass.
- After the major debris has been removed, spread the cleanser in a thin film across the glass. Use a damp sponge in circular motions to remove any residue.
- Apply one more thin application of your Cerama Bryte®. Let it dry for a couple of minutes and then use a microfiber cloth or soft lint-free towel to remove the product.
There are a number of videos out there to guide you as well. We liked this one! While the cleaning product differs, the methods are helpful.
