Method 1 of 3: Clean the oven regularly

1. Make a baking soda paste. In a shallow bowl, mix 3 parts water with 1 part baking soda until the baking soda dissolves. You now have a loose paste. Open the oven and spread the paste on the glass of the oven door. You can use your fingers to spread the paste all over the surface of the glass.
2. Let the baking soda paste sit on the glass for 15 minutes. The baking soda paste will begin to loosen the caked on dirt on the glass oven door. Set a kitchen timer for 15 minutes.
3. Heat the oven to a temperature of about 40-50 degrees Celsius. To remove stubborn stains, heat the oven to a low temperature between 40-50 degrees. When the oven is up to temperature, switch it off and open the door for a minute to let the oven cool down a bit. When the door is warm but not hot to the touch, the oven is at the optimum temperature.
   • Do not make the oven warmer than 50 degrees. If the door gets too hot, you can burn yourself.
   • By slightly heating the stubborn food scraps they will soften.
4. Clean the glass oven door weekly. To keep the glass oven door looking its best, clean it once a week with baking soda. Put a reminder in your calendar to make it part of your weekly cleaning routine.
5. Use your oven's cleaning function once a week. If you have a self-cleaning oven, use the function once a month to keep your oven free of food debris. This very warm function neutralises the dirt and ensures that your oven continues to function as well as possible.
