Mom Wants to Clean the Oven Door In Between the Glass. See Her Oh-So-Simple Trick
If your oven door looks cloudy or greasy between the glass panels, you’re not alone. That hidden space traps grease and crumbs—and most people think it’s impossible to clean without taking the door apart.
Good news: there’s a surprisingly simple trick that actually works.
What You’ll Need
-
A wire coat hanger (or long, thin stick)
-
A microfiber cloth or paper towel
-
Rubber band or tape
-
Vinegar + warm water (or gentle degreaser)
The Simple Trick
1. Straighten the Hanger
Unbend the wire hanger and leave a small hook at one end.
2. Wrap the Cloth
Wrap a microfiber cloth or paper towel around the hooked end. Secure it tightly with a rubber band or tape.
3. Spray Lightly
Mist the cloth with vinegar and warm water (not dripping wet).
4. Find the Slot
Most oven doors have vent slots along the top or bottom edge. Slide the wrapped hanger into one of these openings.
5. Wipe Inside the Glass
Gently move the hanger back and forth and up and down to clean the grime between the glass panels.
✨ You’ll be amazed how much grease comes out.
Extra Tips
-
Use a dry cloth pass afterward to prevent streaks
-
Avoid harsh chemicals—fumes can get trapped inside
-
If grease is heavy, repeat with a fresh cloth
When This Won’t Work
Some newer ovens are fully sealed. If there are no slots, check your oven’s manual—forcing anything inside could cause damage.
The Result
A clear oven door, no tools, no disassembly, and no repair bill.
