Step 1: Grab a feather duster (or something similar)
This TikTok user recommends purchasing a long microfibre duster. However, she also mentions that improvising with a makeshift duster made from a microfibre towel and a hanger will work just fine!
Step 2: Remove your oven drawer
There should be a storage drawer under your oven that you can easily remove. Once it’s out of the way, there should be a few slots underneath that open directly into the area inside your oven door’s glass window.
Step 3: Grab your go-to cleaning solution
The choice is yours, just spray it on your duster.
Step 4: Clean the glass
Insert the prepped duster into the openings under your oven door. From there, all you have to do is wiggle the duster back and forth until you see sparkling glass!
This TikTok hack will work in a pinch, but for a serious deep clean, Family Handyman explains how to disassemble the oven door.
