Cleaning between the glass on an oven door can feel impossible—until you know the simple trick. The key is removing the oven door safely and cleaning the inside glass with the right tools.
Here’s the easy, safe way to do it.
✅ How to Clean Between the Glass on Your Oven Door
What you’ll need
- Screwdriver (if needed)
- Microfiber cloth or soft sponge
- Dish soap
- White vinegar
- Warm water
- Optional: glass cleaner
- Optional: paper towels or a soft brush
🔧 Step 1: Remove the oven door (if possible)
Most oven doors can be removed easily:
- Open the door fully.
- Locate the hinge locks (usually on the hinges).
- Flip the locks up.
- Close the door slightly until it stops.
- Pull the door out carefully and set it down.
If your oven door doesn’t come off, you can still clean it—just be more careful and use a long-handled cloth.
🧼 Step 2: Separate the glass layers (if removable)
Some ovens allow you to remove the inner glass panel.
- Remove screws holding the inner panel
- Slide the glass out carefully
If your model doesn’t allow this, skip to step 3 and clean as far as you can reach.
🧽 Step 3: Clean the inside glass
Mix a solution:
- 1 part vinegar + 2 parts warm water
- Add a drop of dish soap
Use a cloth or sponge to wipe the glass clean.
For tough grease:
- Let the solution sit 10 minutes
- Then scrub gently
💦 Step 4: Dry and reassemble
- Dry the glass completely
- Reattach the panel (if removed)
- Put the door back on the hinges
- Flip hinge locks back into place
⚠️ Important Tips
- Do not use abrasive cleaners (they scratch the glass)
- Avoid soaking the door’s electrical parts
- If your oven door has a rubber seal, don’t pull it too hard
