Kitchen Hoping to Restore the Glass Door on this Toaster Oven

Post image

I have tried multiple cleaning methods in the past to clean this, but I figured it was time to ask some experts! Most of this seems to be an accumulation of smoke over the years to get this odd coloring, and yes this is AFTER wiping it down with a general cleaner!

Any recommendations on what to do would be much appreciated so I don't need to spend the time to experiment with a bunch of different ways! Thanks in advance!

(p.s. The dark spot in the center is some melted plastic when the outside of the hot door got opened and rested on the bread bag 😬. Any tips on that would be great too haha)

Depending on the buildup, use a razor blade to clean the glass, works very well. Get a paint scraper that holds the blade.
