Melissa shared she has a cleaning technique for using the Magic Eraser effectively but it will be able to lift oven stains that have been left for ages so the glass will be sparkling clean in no time.

How to clean an oven glass door using magic erasers 

To effectively clean an oven door you will need two Magic Erasers, a dry one and one slightly damp, to help remove the stuck-on stains. 

Melissa said: “I found alternating between wet and dry Magic Erasers worked the best to get rid of all the grime.

“If your oven is in anything near the Code Red situation mine was, you’re going to want two Magic Erasers for this job. Similar to a pencil eraser, they break down as you use them.”

Then all you have to do is lightly rub the sponges onto the dirty surface, and keep switching as the sponges wear away. 

It is best to just gently rub at one small area at a time as scrubbing back and forth a large will not be as effective as not enough pressure will be applied to the surface. 

However, after roughly 10 minutes your oven door should be completely cleaned of burn marks without much effort.
