The 2-Ingredient Baking Paste That Melts Burned-On Oven Grease in Minutes
Quick Reference: Household Stain Success Matrix
| The Challenge | The Root Cause | The Simple Fix |
| Paste dries out too quickly | Low ambient humidity or thin application. | Spray the paste lightly with water from a spray bottle to re-activate the moisture. |
| White chalky streaks left behind | Residual baking soda film on the glass. | Wipe the glass down with a cloth dampened with a 50/50 mix of white vinegar and water to neutralize the base. |
| Grease stuck between double glass panels | Spills dripped down through the top door vents. | Unplug the oven, unscrew the top door trim or internal screws, slide out the inner panel carefully to clean, and reassemble. |
Weekly Maintenance Trick
To avoid ever having to do a heavy-duty scrub again, keep a small spray bottle filled with equal parts water and white vinegar near your kitchen sink. Once a week, right after you finish baking and the oven has fully cooled down, spray the glass window lightly and wipe it clean with a microfiber cloth. This takes less than 60 seconds and prevents grease from ever having the chance to bake on and polymerize in the first place!
