For me clearly an idea with a WOW effect. Glass like new and no extra work or dirty sponges or cloths. Try it and see for yourself.
It really is true that the cheapest and simplest solutions are the best.
I tried it and it really works. My oven in the rented flat was a horror and I’m not even talking about the inside, which was relatively okay, but the door. Through the glass it was almost impossible to see, I assume something must have been spilled there and unfortunately there was no will to put it right. So I set to it following a simple guide from a TV show about home improvements. It’s super cheap, super simple and super effective. The result speaks for itself and best of all, you don’t need any sponge or steel wool — just 3 things and you’re done.
From the start of cleaning it only took 4 minutes
When I started the actual cleaning, it really took only 4 minutes. So far the fastest method for me and without a dirty sponge, cloth or gunky steel wool.
I was afraid the foil would scratch the door, but it doesn’t. You’ll see for yourself on the first moves. So I poured about 1/2 cup of hot water onto the door and completely covered it with baking soda. I let it sit for 30 seconds and then made a ball of foil just the size of my hand, which I started cleaning with. No pressing on the surface — I just very gently moved in circular motions over the glass. You’ll see for yourself how all the dirt comes off and literally disappears from the door surface. If your door is really very dirty, repeat the procedure once more, but it should be enough once. Wipe off the remaining baking soda with paper towels and a little water. That’s all, it’s cheap and natural!
How to clean the oven door from the inside
I found this interesting trick and maybe many don’t even know they have it on their oven. If you don’t have that type of stove, then you have to unscrew the door the usual way.
How do I clean the inside of the oven?
I don’t use ammonia or other smelly chemicals, ordinary baking powder will do.
We need:
- 150 ml cold water
- 2-3 packs of baking powder
- A ceramic baking dish
- A little vinegar (I add by eye)
Instructions:
Mix everything in the dish and simply put it into the oven at 100 degrees (ideally put it in right after baking, the oven won’t cool down). I leave it for about 30–45 minutes and then just lightly wipe the walls — the mixture softens everything nicely and it’s a joy to clean — no scrubbing. I use this when I need to deep-clean the whole kitchen before the holidays.
