Some of the best glass-safe oven cleaners include a baking soda and white distilled vinegar mixture, Dawn dish soap, Windex, Rejuvenate, Easy-Off, or other glass-safe commercial oven door cleaners.
For sparkling, clear oven glass, use a commercial glass and window cleaner, such as Windex, to give the glass one last wipe. Spray some of the cleaner on a paper towel and wipe from side to side. There is no need to dry again. Your oven is now ready for use as normal.
To make your DIY cleaner, mix equal parts baking soda and water until it makes a spreadable paste. Start with half a cup of both ingredients, and double the recipe if you need more. You'll be coating the entire oven with the baking soda paste, so make enough to cover the entire interior surface.
Avoid Windex, and other glass cleaners, because they can actually damage your clean glass stove top and release ammonia.
Even seemingly innocuous cleaners like white vinegar can become toxic when mixed with other products. In particular, don't mix oven cleaner with any bleach or bleach-containing products.
Cleaning Your Oven with Baking Soda and Vinegar
Spritz with water, or a 3:1 water to white vinegar solution. If you use vinegar, baking soda will bubble. Let sit for 15-20 minutes, after your oven has cooled.
If you have a gentle all-purpose cleaner on hand, that also works great for giving your oven a scrub. It is recommended that you clean your oven every 3-6 months. Consider it as part of your regular home maintenance.
Glass cleaners, like Windex, are a no-no. I know it seems logical to use a glass cleaner on a glass stovetop, but it's not a good idea. The ammonia in the glass cleaner is too strong for cleaning a stove top and can lead to damage. A better alternative is white vinegar.
To avoid damaging your stovetop, always use a non-abrasive cloth and gentle cleaner. Dawn® dish soap makes cleaning stovetop surfaces So Dawn Easy - whether it's glass, ceramic, enamel, or stainless steel. The unique formula quickly breaks down grease particles while staying gentle enough to not cause any damage.
Spray the Dawn Powerwash all over the dirty stovetop, and let it sit for a few minutes. Saturate your Scrub Mommy with the Powerwash and water and get to scrubbing that stove! Scrub the grates that have been soaking. Rinse, and let dry.
Avoid spraying or pouring Windex into your dishwasher, even to clean it out, as the chemicals in Windex should be kept away from your plates, cups, and silverware.
The chemicals found in these products can cause stomach irritation, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea if swallowed. In severe cases, confusion, drowsiness, and mouth burns can occur after ingestion of Windex products.
Oven Cleaner Degreaser With Dawn
Sometimes all you need is a little bit of Dawn to get your oven clean. Dawn is a powerful degreaser, and when combined with the cleaning power of white vinegar, it's not something you want to mess with. Stop gunk in its tracks with this recipe.
Wet the sponge and squeeze about five drops of dish soap directly on the sponge (scrubber side) or spray a liberal amount of Dawn Spray on the sponge. Wipe the bottom of the oven and walls. Scrub off baked-on particles. You may need to let these soak a bit, so ring some soapy water on them from the sponge.

Stove Tops
As with Pyrex, pots, and pans, oven cleaner does a great job removing old, burned-on food residue from stove top surfaces. Spray the stuck-on food, allow the cleaner to sit for 15 or 20 minutes, and then rub it clean with a sponge or Magic Eraser.
Yes, this product can be used on several types of glass. It's effective at cleaning shower glass, oven windows and fireplace glass panels in particular. Just wash with soap and water after use on food-contact surfaces.
Use a multi-surface cleaner such as Windex® Multi-Surface Disinfectant Cleaner to clean and shine countertops made of sealed granite, sealed marble, Corian®, Formica® and more. For a gentle clean that also works on a variety of surfaces, try Windex® Vinegar Glass Cleaner.
