I coated the window on my oven door with isopropyl alcohol, let it sit
for 20-30 seconds and then took a razor blade to it. It cleaned up
easily. Woo Hoo! Forget about ammonia fumes. Alcohol works just as
well and a lot faster. YAY!

sf,

Good idea.

The user manual for my oven is long gone.

It's double paned glass. I think it needs replacing altogether.

It's only about 40 years old!

Best,

Andy

Try alcohol (and a razor blade), it's amazing. You can clean almost
anything with alcohol, including oil paintings. Not kidding!

Oh, ick. At least mine was on top of the glass.

even, dare I say, Elvis oil paintings?

Had an awakening of cleaning the mineral deposits of minerals in fish
tanks, with the calcium deposits, etc. Vinegar. Although one would
need to keep as much of the vinegar out of the tank community, it
works great!

Anyone who knows anything about aquariums scrubs the tank with a paste
of kosher salt (the kind with no anti-clumping chems) and plain
water... even fresh water fish benefit from adding a Tbsp of salt to
each gallon of water, checks bacterial growth.

I should give that a dry. I recently used it to clean out our dryer. It
seems that a pen went through the laundry. It not only leaked, but the
cartridge fell apart and released the contents. The stains on a couple
dish towels was no big deal but most of it ended up all over an almost
new set of sheets. The top sheet and pillow cases had a few dots of ink
on them that I think we can live with, but the fitted sheet is a mess.
We just got these sheets in January and it is a damned shame because
they are the nicest feeling sheets we have ever had.

The good news is that the alcohol cleaned up the ink with just a wipe.

Try dismantling the door, cleaning the glass panes, fitting new glass
seals and reassembling. Not an overly difficult task by any measure!

A quote from GE about this issue:

"Thank you for contacting GE Appliances.
When oven is in bake, broil or self clean the vapor/moisture
formed goes through the door slots and between the window panes.
The vapor carries with it, grease from the foods or oven. When
the vapor cools the grease dries onto the glass and streaks appear.

If streaks have already appeared between the glass, the only
way to remove is by cleaning between the 2 pieces of glass which
involves taking the door apart. Service is recommended for this
procedure.

GE does not recommend you do this yourself.

Prevention: to help avoid this, wipe out the excess grease from
the oven before any type of long baking/roasting period or putting
through a self-clean cycle.

Landon,

I studied the door from every angle and couldn't figure it out.

I always had great success taking things apart... ;)

Best,

I can only say if I did that, I wouldn't need to use the self cleaning
cycle.

At least they're just sheets, so nobody except you and your wife will
ever see them. You shouldn't see much of them either because you'll
be asleep most of the time.


I wish I'd known about alcohol when hubby forgot to retract his pen
and put it into the chest pocket of a favorite silk shirt (years ago).
