How to Clean the Oven Using Natural Products
Like most women, I really dislike having to clean my oven. In years past I used to spend a few hours every month cleaning it which always stunk up my house with toxic fumes from store bought cleaners.
Over the years I got a lot smarter about keeping my oven clean and cleaning it when I had to. I turned to more natural alternatives to get the job done.
Here are a few Natural Oven Cleaner Tips that you can try out in your own home.
* Don’t let your oven get overly dirty! Over time that baked on grease, food debris, etc. just gets thicker and becomes harder to clean. Make cleaning your oven a part of your overall regular deep kitchen cleaning and keep after it.
* If you have a large dishwasher place the oven racks into the dishwasher regularly and wash them through a normal cycle. If you don’t have a large enough dishwasher or if they are really dirty…fill up your kitchen sink with hot soapy water. Put the racks into the sink and let them soak for a few hours to loosen up the debris. Take an SOS Pad and scrub them down or use a sponge with baking soda to help loosen up the caked on mess. Once scrubbed, rinse them down with clean water and towel dry.
* If you don’t want to scrub down those racks inside…take them outside! Spray them down with a garden hose, spray on your natural cleaner, let them sit for several minutes and then hose them off with clean water.
* For a natural oven cleaner combine together a 1/4 cup of baking soda, 2 tablespoons of liquid dish soap, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and just enough water to make a paste. Use this paste with a clean sponge and scrub out the mess in your oven. Use clean water and another clean sponge to clean out the residue from the paste.
* You can find several companies out in the marketplace who sell natural oven cleaners and often times those cleaners are better than whipping up your own homemade cleaner. If you can’t find one locally, try shopping online for natural household cleaners.
