    Has anyone any ideas for cleaning the inside of the oven door. Had some success with baking soda but not like this guy

    I have tried adding vinegar to the baking soda to leave overnight. Anyone any ideas?

    isn't that that is really corrosive and you have to put in a bag and put in garden?

    Vinegar is acid, soda is alkaline so at best you are neutralising each of them. when mixing stronger acids and alkalis, you risk chemical burns and explosions.
    NEVER mix Cleaning Agents (no matter how common they seem) unless you really know what you are doing.

    The commercially available spray on cleaners are ok if your oven isn't too fouled, but I do find that the german supermarket brands are better than the big names ones who just spend our money on TV ads.

    Soaking the parts is the next possibility, I use washing up liquid and hot water when I have the time and the space or Washing /Caustic Soda when I don't.

    Ovens and their parts are quite large but you can usually get the grill pans and racks into bin bags to marinade overnight (outside, and away from children and pets) Then scrub, (with plastic pot scrubbers if you're lucky or wire wool otherwise). Always use gloves and glasses when working with caustic.

    It must be the season... was only doing mine the other day too. Yes, really recommend oven pride too, especially for the racks and the bottom of the oven. Mind you I did my glass with a shake of washing powder, some hot water on a plastic scrubber. Hadn't thought of using oven pride at that stage of proceedings.
