I'd hate to have to take the door apart as I may never get back together right!

    I usually video myself or take a ton of pictures when I have to take things apart then it's much easier to get it back together.

    I took mine apart and it was a huge mistake! The minute you unscrew that last screw, everything falls to the floor. You wouldn't believe all the screws and frame pieces that are involved. One of the frames got bent and one of the screws got stripped. I called an engineer friend over to help me and it took us a little over 3 hours and a trip to the hardware. And it turns out that the stains were all on the outside of the glass and that the self-cleaning feature took care of most and an abrasive sponge did the rest.

Use your self-cleaning feature if you have one and a slightly abrasive sponge.

    I unscrewed mine and took the door off. It was kind of a pain to put it back together but I ended up getting it done. It was worth it for me, my glass was really dirty and the only way I could get to it was to take the door apart. I think it depends on the oven and how involved the hardware is on the door.

    If you want to clean between the glass between your oven doors, but don't want to take the door apart, you can try feeding a wire through the narrow holes on the underside of the door. For easier access to these holes, it helps to remove the drawer underneath your oven. After removing the drawer, unbend a wire hanger and straighten out one end. Wrap a couple of paper towels around the wire and secure them with a rubber band.Spray a bit of vinegar and soap ( 1:1 ) mixture onto the paper towel. Then carefully insert your “cleaning tool” through the narrow holes in the oven door and use it to wipe any brown stains on the inside of the glass. If you can’t find any access holes on the bottom of your oven door that would allow you to clean between the glass, don’t worry! You can still clean between the glass, but you might need a screwdriver to do it. Consult the owner’s manual for your oven to find out how to open up the glass panes so you can clean between them. (If you can’t find the manual, you can probably find a digital copy online by typing the make and model of your oven into Google.)

  • Purchase a wire flyswatter if you do not already have one. The slender wire handle can be bent to reach inside the oven door. In most department and supermarket stores, these are usually located next to the mops. Next, use damp or disinfecting wipes in two or three layers to cover the handle.
