8. Final Touches:

• Wipe down the exterior of the oven to remove any cleaning solution residue.

The first time you do this, especially if the oven door has never been cleaned thoroughly, it can be quite a job as you’re removing accumulated grime and dried-on grease that may have built up over the years. However, once you establish a regular cleaning routine (once or twice a year), it becomes more manageable.

If you cannot disassemble the oven door, there are alternative methods. You can attach a homemade cleaning wipe or cloth soaked in vinegar to a metal coat hanger or a similar long, thin object. Insert it between the glass panels through the gap at the bottom of the door and clean the interior surfaces. This method may require lowering the door to access the space beneath the oven.

Remember that cleaning the oven door regularly, even if it takes a little effort, will help keep it looking pristine and prevent the buildup of tough stains and grease.
