Holiday turkeys and <a class=\"SWhtmlLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/sugar-glazed-ham\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hams<\/a> have been roasted. <a class=\"SWhtmlLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/super-easy-casseroles-to-throw-together-for-dinner-tonight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Weeknight casseroles<\/a> have bubbled away. While these dishes have brought you and your loved ones joy, they've probably made a mess of your oven door. Learn how to clean it up\u2014no harsh chemicals necessary.\r\n<h2><strong>Finding the Best Natural Cleaner for Oven Windows<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nPeople have many reasons to go all-natural in their cleaning routine. Mine is pets: Our exotic birds are very sensitive to environmental toxins, particularly airborne ones. So for decades now I have learned to happily live without chemical cleaners. My non-toxic cleaning BFFs are various combinations of <a class=\"SWhtmlLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/50-clever-ways-to-clean-with-baking-soda\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">baking soda<\/a>, water, <a class=\"SWhtmlLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/easy-vinegar-uses-to-clean-brighten-and-deodorize-your-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">vinegar<\/a> and good, old-fashioned elbow grease.\r\n\r\nFinding the ideal cleaning agent for my oven window was a bit of an adventure. I had always used a paste made from baking soda and water, but I wondered, <em>who hasn't had fun adding vinegar to baking soda and making a volcano for their kids?<\/em> Plus, the combination is known for extra grime-fighting power.\r\n<h2><strong>The Test<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nI decided to settle my internal debate with a quick kitchen experiment. I would give one side of my extremely disgusting greasy glass window a clean using the baking soda\/water paste and the other side the same paste with the addition of vinegar. Here are a few tips for making a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/homemade-window-cleaner\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/homemade-window-cleaner\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">homemade window cleaner<\/a>.\r\n\r\nIn a glass bowl I mixed 1 cup of baking soda with 1\/4 cup of water. This forms a paste with a texture similar to thick shaving cream. I spread this with a spoon over the glass in the oven door.\r\n\r\nThen, I added 2 tablespoons of white vinegar to the same baking soda mixture and spread it across the other half of the glass. Oh, the foaming! I could hear in my heart's memory the voices of my little ones crying, \"Oh look, the volcano's erupting!\"\r\n\r\nI scrubbed both sides with a well-used Scotch-Brite scour pad. A new one might have been more effective, but it could have scratched the glass as well.\r\n<h2><strong>Which Homemade Cleaner Worked Best?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nThe results showed that the simple baking soda paste worked better than the baking soda + water + vinegar option. (I've heard you can use a straight razor to scrape off remaining bits, but I didn't have one handy.)\r\n\r\nStill have a grimy window?
