You can always take out the shelves and clean them later, but you’ll still need a powerful cleaning product to clean the inside of your oven:
There are plenty of commercial oven cleaners on supermarket shelves. They are designed to clean tough stains that baking can leave behind. These oven cleaners cut through hard stains and loosen them up so that you can just wipe them away.
Choose spray bottle liquids when looking for cleaning products. They are easier to use than many other cleaning products.
Choose thick foaming solutions such as the ones offered by CIF. They are thick and stick to oven walls. These creams do not slide down the walls and end up in a gooey mess at the bottom of the oven.
Choose natural cleaning products. Several of these types of products contain ingredients such as citrus oils, which are good for breaking down grease and oil.
Use Natural Items Found in Your Pantry
If you don’t want to use commercial oven cleaning products, there are many things found in your kitchen cabinets or pantry that will suffice. Combine these products and you have your homemade natural oven cleaning solutions.
Combine distilled vinegar or apple cider with baking soda. Make sure that the ratio is 1:2. Next, mix a drop of dishwashing detergent and water into the mixture that creates a paste that is useable to clean your oven. The vinegar smell will eventually go away, but if it is too strong for your taste, add a few fragrant essential oils such as lavender or citrus.
What Type of Cleaning Equipment Should I Use?
Make sure that the correct cleaning equipment is available to you. The right tools such as the following will make the job simpler:
Rubber Gloves. Cleaning products have harmful chemicals that could damage your skin and clothing. Rubber gloves are a necessity for oven cleaning. Besides, even with homemade natural products, your clothes and hands could get covered in grease and grime.
A Spoon or Blunt Blade. Try to remove some of the dried on grease and other gunk before you begin to clean. Using a spoon or blunt blade can help you do this as it makes it easier for the cleaning product to attack and get rid of the stains.
Paper Towels. Before beginning the cleaning process, use paper towels to cover your floors. Oven cleaning is quite messy, and the cleaning products could eventually drip onto your floors and damage them.
Toothbrush or Paint Brush. Toothbrushes or paintbrushes are wonderful tools for oven cleaning. They can get into the tiny corners and crevices of your oven and clean spots that are difficult to reach.
Scrubbing Brush. This type of brush has a medium bristle that can clean a larger amount of space without causing much damage. It could be something that you normally use in the kitchen to get rid of dirt and grime such as a scrubbing sponge.
Microfibre Cloth. This cloth is good for getting up residue without falling apart. It does not leave behind strings or any other material that could burn up later.
Oven Cleaning Strategies and Techniques
The following are the easiest steps for oven cleaning:
Take out the shelves. Remove the shelves before cleaning the oven interior. It is easy to soak them in the sink and wash them with regular soap and water. Dry them and put them back when the interior of the oven is clean.
Get rid of as much residue as possible. Try to scrape off any remaining food spills that are in the oven before using cleaning products as this will make your cleaning product work better.
Spray or put the oven cleaner into the oven making sure you read and fully understand the cleaning product label first. Just put the cleaning product on the sides, bottom and door. Make sure that everything in the interiors completely covered with the cleaning product. Also, put it on the door seals as well.
Let the cleaning product sit for a while before cleaning that will help to loosen up spills and should only take about 30 minutes making the cleaning job much easier and faster.
Scrub the inside of the oven. Use the medium bristled brush to scrape and scrub all stubborn stains. Stains on the oven doors and bottom are usually the hardest to remove.
Wipe off the remaining residue with a cloth and rinse the cloth numerous times to ensure that dirt and grime cannot spread throughout the oven.
Maintaining the Oven
For the process to be much easier the next time, there are some things that you can, and this involves maintaining the cleanliness of your oven. Always clean a spill immediately. Wait until the oven is cool enough so that you don’t harm yourself, but the goal is to clean the stain before it has a chance to harden. If you wait until the stain gets hot again, this will just make go hard and be more difficult to remove. Also, try to clean your oven shelves at least once each week.
Oven Clean Safety Tips
With both natural and commercial oven cleaning products, you should handle them with safety. The following are a few tips for ensuring your health and safety during the cleaning process:
Do not clean unless there is enough air in the room. Open the windows, as this is especially imperative if you are using a commercial product with chemicals and make sure that children and pets are not in the room.
Wear protective gear such as rubber gloves. You should also provide protection for your eyes by using goggles.
Turn the oven off before cleaning it. You may want to disconnect the power or fuel, if possible, which is especially important if you have a gas stove. The risk factor is higher with the power or gas not disconnected to the oven.
Do not clean the heating elements. Never put oven cleaner on the heating elements as this could not only damage the oven but also stop it from functioning properly.
Post ventilation is very important. Once the oven cleaning process is over, make sure that doors and windows are open for a long period to get excess fumes out.
Dried and greasy food spills can cause future sparks and fires if you fail to remove them regularly which is why you should always remove them where possible. Just follow the simple oven cleaning tips we have provided to ensure that your oven is clean, fresh and safe.
