Dirty Oven Glass? Here’s the Trick That Will Drive You Crazy (In a Good Way)
If you’ve ever squinted through the grimy haze of your oven door, wondering how your cookies are doing without opening it for the tenth time, you’re not alone. Oven glass has a sneaky way of collecting every drip, splatter, and burnt-on mystery spot—making it look like you haven’t cleaned it since the last time Friends aired.
But what if we told you there’s a ridiculously simple trick to getting that cloudy glass sparkling clean—and it uses things you already have at home?
It’s not a TikTok trend. It’s not a miracle spray. It’s a cleaning hack so satisfying, it might just drive you crazy that you didn’t know it sooner.
The Secret? Baking Soda + Water = Magic Paste
That’s it. No harsh chemicals. No pricey gadgets. Just a humble box of baking soda and a splash of water.
Here’s how to do it:
✨ Ingredients (Yes, we’re treating this like a recipe):
- 1/2 cup baking soda
- A few tablespoons of water
- A dirty oven door
- A little patience (and maybe a podcast to listen to)
🔧 Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Make the Paste
Mix baking soda and water in a bowl until it forms a spreadable, slightly thick paste—think toothpaste consistency. - Spread It On
Using your fingers or a sponge, spread the paste all over the inside of your oven glass. Don’t be shy. Cover every crusty inch. - Let It Sit
This is the magic part. Let the paste sit for 15–30 minutes. While you wait, pour yourself some coffee (or wine—we’re not judging). - Wipe It Off
Use a damp microfiber cloth to wipe away the paste. You might need a few passes, but the gunk will lift off like it was never there. - Polish, If Needed
For that crystal-clear finish, follow up with a bit of white vinegar on a clean cloth to remove any streaks.
Why It Works
Baking soda is a gentle abrasive that breaks down grease and grime without scratching the glass. It’s non-toxic, safe to use around food surfaces, and—best of all—cheap.
