How to clean the oven door?
Dried food residue and stubborn stains such as grease in the oven are a nightmare for housewives and amateur chefs. However, there are home remedies to remove stubborn grime without having to scrub the burnt surface of your oven.
Clean the oven glass with baking soda
Simply mix the baking soda with a little water to make a paste, then brush this mixture onto the oven glass. If you want to improve the effect, you can use vinegar, pouring it into a spray bottle and spraying it on the paste obtained. When the bubbles stop appearing, rinse the glass with a damp cloth. Eventually all the grease and dirt will come away and the glass of your stove will shine again.
Clean the stove glass with ammonia
Unfortunately this remedy is not natural, but it is very effective on very dirty windows. Attention, it should not be used as part of daily cleaning, but only for stubborn and resistant stains. First, put on protective gloves and ventilate the kitchen. Then open the “flat” oven door and line it with kitchen paper. Then spray the stained surface with ammonia and leave for 30-40 minutes. Finally, rinse the glass with a damp cloth after discarding the gloves and paper.
