Use your screwdriver to remove the screws holding the interior panel in place. Carefully separate the panels to expose the space between the glass. Take your time—some doors have more than two layers of glass.

Step 5: Clean the Glass

Wrap a microfiber cloth around your cleaning tool (like a yardstick), secure it with a rubber band, and spray the cloth with glass cleaner or your vinegar solution. Gently slide the cloth between the panes and move it around to remove dirt and grime. Use a flashlight to help you see where to clean.

Step 6: Let It Dry

Before reassembling the oven door, make sure everything is completely dry to prevent streaks or moisture from getting trapped.

Step 7: Reassemble and Reinstall

Carefully screw the panels back together, reattach the oven door if you removed it, and plug the oven back in.

🧽 Maintenance Tips

  • Wipe down your oven door weekly to prevent buildup.
  • Use a splatter guard when cooking greasy foods.
  • Consider using your oven’s self-cleaning feature (if available), but always check the manual first.

✨ Enjoy the View!
