Do you see that spot in your kitchen where dirt quietly settles without anyone noticing? It’s discreet but disgusting to the core. That spot is between the glass panes of your oven door. Grease, crumbs, brown stains… it’s a real nightmare! And the worst part? We often think we need to disassemble the whole appliance to get rid of it. But no! There’s a simple, quick, and super clever trick to clean it.
This trick is well-known among cleaning professionals, and now, it’s your turn to try it. You’ll be amazed to discover what you can do with a simple hanger!
Why Are Oven Glasses So Difficult to Clean?
When you look at the oven door, you see two panes of glass. But between these two panes is a very narrow space. That’s where dirt loves to hide. Crumbs, grease, black stains… everything falls in there.
The problem is that this space is very hard to reach. You can’t slide a sponge or a cloth in there like you do in the rest of the oven. It’s too tight. So, over time, stains accumulate.
And when you open the oven, you see those ugly marks, even if the rest is clean. Many people think they need to disassemble the oven to clean them. But that’s not true. There’s a super simple trick that requires neither a screwdriver nor any complicated effort.
The Genius (and Simple) Trick to Reach Hidden Stains
You don’t need to be a DIY expert to master this cleaning method. Just use an item you probably already have at home: a hanger. Yes, the hanger you use to hang clothes. This little tool will become your best friend for making your oven’s glass shine.
Simply transform it into a long, thin rod, then attach a soft cloth to it. With this magic rod, you can slide the cloth into the bottom of the oven door through a tiny gap.
And there, you can gently scrub between the two glass panes. It’s as if you’re catching the stains that have been hiding for months. The result: the dirt disappears, and the glass looks brand new.
What You Need to Make Cleaning Successful Without Disassembling
For this trick to work effectively, you also need a cleaning solution that is very simple. No need for expensive products. Just some water and white vinegar. This mixture is very powerful against grease and stains.
Spray it on the cloth, then gently clean the inside with your hanger. Be careful not to force it, but you’ll see: it works really well. The cloth glides between the glass panes, scrubbing the dirt and carrying it away. No need to open or disassemble anything.
The Mistake to Avoid to Keep Your Oven Always Clean
The biggest trap is waiting too long to clean. When you let grease and crumbs accumulate, they become as hard as stone. And then, even a good trick isn’t enough. It’s better to clean often, even just a little.
After every major cooking session, remember to check the glass. If you see a stain, act quickly. By maintaining this simple habit, your oven will always stay clean. And you will never have to battle hidden dirt again.
