I used to clean my glass topped stove with colgate toothpaste. Just smear it on at let it sit for a while and wipe off . Just like the glass cleaner you get from the appliance store, but use the white stuff, I hope that works for you!

I also tried this method……ended up using a utility knife/scraper and that cleaned it up pretty well. Next time I’ll try scraping and then cleaning with baking soda.

In reply to Pam Hammond. Pam, Thanks for the idea, I haven't tried this one yet. My microwave could use a cleaning right now! Have a great week, Tracy

For my microwave I always just take my 2 cup pyrex measuring cup and fill with water and put it in for 3 minutes and then let it set and steam for about 15 minutes and then just wipe down…I do take the glass turntable out and wash with dawn soap in the sink…..works great for me…..

Speaking of those types of cleaning tips, another that I tried that didn’t work was the microwave one. It said to put vinegar and water in a pyrex measuring cup (or bowl or whatever you want) and some orange or lemon peels. Let it microwave for 10 mins and your microwave would be magically clean. The only thing it did was stink up my kitchen so it smelled like vinegar all day. 🙁 I’ve come to realize that sometimes you just need to scrub to get things clean.

Pam,

I have heard of using tin foil to clean your glass oven door, but I was worried it would scratch the glass. Great to hear that it worked so well for you!

I have a self cleaning oven which may make a difference..the glass never looks good however..I read somewhere to use a wad of tin foil with the baking soda and a few drips of water..it works great for me..and I do let it get pretty bad before I do a great cleaning on it. The self cleaning process does not work on the glass…..

The recipe I saw had vinegar with it. Vinegar and baking soda-my go to cleaner. even for pencils and pens on the walls.

In reply to Tammy Hughs EL Shafey. Tammy, You are SO right. I think some dish soap is exactly what this needed. I will definitely try this next time. Thanks for the tip!

When I clean my stove,oven and kitchen sink I always try and remember that in the kitchen there is grease build up almost every where,So a long time ago I done a test with Baking and a few drops of dish liquid,and make in to a paste,when applying to what surface that your cleaning use warm water and a sponge smear all over the surface let set a few minutes(5 or 10) the wash off with warm cloth. The dish soap helps cut the grease and the banking soda help sanitize and acts as a soft scrub.I always use this as well in my washroom for getting out that washroom smell I use lemon scent dish liquid and it works great.

Oh no! I was hoping it would have worked because I was just reaching for my baking soda as I was reading your post! My oven door glass must be twins with yours…but you know the saying! “A dirty oven door is the sign of a GREAT cook”…okay, so I just made that up! I’ll have to try this anyway, with the help of my hubby because I don’t have muscles like Rosie! Thanks for the ‘Pin-Test’…okay I just made that one up too! lol!

Dorene, I’m glad to know that I’m not the only one! But really? You let your oven glass get that dirty too? ( wink wink!)

This is making me feel way better that I’m not the only one. I walk by mine every day (I have a double-oven, so I look double-sloppy) and think that I need to clean them, but the last time I did, they were a mess again in…oh…about a DAY. Blah. The temperature is so high that it’s not like anything is living in there, and we’re not eating off of the oven surfaces, so I’m saying “oh well!” Thanks for the posts, love reading them.

I tried that “recipe” too! Total flop! Good ole Brillo did the job! (Sorry! I should have warned you before you had to “let” your oven get so dirty!) (Wink wink!) 🙂

Jeni – haha You crack me up! Yes, I would definitely fall back upon the regular ole oven cleaner, unless you want biceps the size of Mt. Vesuvius!

Good to know! i was so excited and hopeful my rusty-old looking glass would look sparkling. Good ole oven cleaner would probably produce better results? Darn. And I purposely let my glass go bad just so I could use this recipe {wink, wink}. Thanks for trying it out and giving us the scoop! I should probably delete this pin from my pinboard. Shhhh, don’t tell.
