7 cheap ways you can clean your oven door
Baking soda and water
Make a thick paste by mixing together a few tablespoons of baking soda with water – make enough to cover the oven door.
Leave it to sit for 30 minutes and use a microfibre cloth to wipe it clean and remove stubborn stains.
Lemon and salt scrub
Cut a lemon and dip it into salt - the experts say the lemon’s acidity and the mild abrasive properties of the salt will help break down stains and grease marks.
Dish soap and warm water
Wiping your oven down after each use can help you keep on top of cleaning it. Lightly wipe a cloth dipped in dish soap and warm water to lift off any grime.
Soaked hot towel
You could also try soaking a towel or flannel in some hot water and lay it over the glass. Leave it to sit there for 15 minutes.
While you wait, the steam will lift off grease marks and make it easier to wipe down.

Fizzy drinks
Pour either a fizzy drink or sparkling water over the glass on the oven door to break down stains and grime.
Using a sponge, wipe away after 10 minutes and to make sure there isn’t a sticky residue left behind, wipe it down with warm water afterwards.
Coffee grounds
Another household essential you can use to clean your oven door is used coffee grounds.
They act as a scrub - you’ll need to sprinkle the coffee and lightly scrub it into the surface with a microfibre cloth to lift off the stains.
White vinegar and water
Mix together an equal amount of white vinegar and water and spray a generous amount over the glass oven door.
The vinegar will break down any stubborn stains and grease marks. After letting the solution sit for a couple of minutes, give the oven door a wipe down.
