How can I clean my oven door glass?

I can't see inside my oven anymore, it's disgusting, but nothing seems to shift the brown dribbly marks all over the inside. What can I use that will get rid of them?

Mix up bicarbonate of soda with vinegar into a paste, cover the glass, and leave for about 30 mins and scrape off with a wallpaper scraper or palette knife, it should get most, it not all of it off!

Willow - honestly, wet dishwasher tab over the glass. No mixing, no waiting, no scraping!! It is truly amazing Grin

Oven brite and good scrubber should do the trick:-)

Just tried the dishwasher tab tip.Oven door in a desperate state. It bloody works. I damped the tab and rubbed/scrubbed, dipping it regularly to keep damp. The couple of years worth ofgrime just lifted away.
Whoever discovered this/posted this is now in my top ten list of all time favourite people.
Thank you Flowers

Ovens can be a pain to clean with stubborn stains especially an oven. I use Astonish to clean my oven and it always does a top notch job.

I know this post is really quite old now, but I'm really struggling to get my oven glass clean... tried baking soda in the past and washing powder but wasn't very effective... I've read about the dishwasher tabs and was wondering which ones were the est to use... I tried the finish gold tabs but still no joy... please help!!!

I use this to clean my entire oven and it does a fantastic job. Always makes my oven look new again when it starts looking dirty. Use with a scrubber.

My mother in law swears by dish washer tables just dissolve in hot water and they dissolve all brown stains on the oven door
It's worth a go 🙂

We had a professional over cleaner come round (cause I'm always terrified I'll burn myself with oven chemicals or not clean them off properly and then poison us all) He used what looked like a paint scrapper to scrap the door.

Hi - feeling chuffed!

I read the thread and looked at what I had in the cupboard. Remembered that my cleaner friend swears by Cif.

Solution - Cif, old toothbrush, little bit of elbow grease et voila! After less than half an hour I have two 97% clean doors (not 100% because I couldn't see through the gunk that was removed).
