    So what do you recommend to use on the walls of the oven if there is still a few little spots here and there? Example is say you're cleaning the oven which is decently clean but just has the dirt on the walls or the crime or whatever it is and you want your oven to be sparkly clean for a move out inspection how can you get rid of those little smudges? Just keep doing the self cleaning oven bit?

    You can also boil baking soda (sodium bicarbonate PH 9) in water to create sodium carbonate which is a stronger alkaline (~PH 11) to break down the grease better.

    For the extra crusty messes that won't come off with just scrubbing, use a pan scraper or even a paint scraper to get that off. I used to clean student residences and that's what we used for super dirty ovens.

    I use an oven sheet for the floor of the oven. It keeps the "crud" off the enamel and makes cleaning a bit easier (at least on the bottom of the oven!) I also don't over fill food in casseroles or sheet pans. This keeps spillage to a minimum.

    • @squirlmy

    As an apiance repair technician all of your advice is great Except telling your viewers to use the self cleaning option, I as well as pretty much anyone I've ever worked with tell customers NOT TO USE SELF CLEAN as these temperatures have a tendency of damaging other parts like control boards and locking mechanism oh yeah not to mention your electronic gas igniter may burn out

    • @joanbessette8997
      @joanbessette8997 Před 3 měsíci +1

      Yes, I completely agree with you. I had an oven with self clean and about 2 weeks before thanksgiving I decided to use it. Well, the oven stopped working and when the repairman came he toldme the self clean wrecked the oven. Fortunately for me, I had the extended warranty and got the oven replaced by PC Richards. A few days before Thanksgiving, the same repairman came with a neww oven and installed it. I was panicking thinking I would not have an oven in time for Thanksgiving. Since then I have never even considered using the self clean feature.

    • @HappyWife93
      @HappyWife93 Před 20 dny

      I’m afraid to use the self cleaning option on my new double ovens. My ovens are in the wall and I’m scared of a fire. I’ve spent three whole days trying to get my double ovens clean using the baking soda and vinegar method because I wanted to do it naturally without harsh chemicals. Unfortunately, this method did not work very well for me and my ovens were not very dirty.

    Use a silicon scrubber to get the burnt bits off. Then I run a 5 hour self cleaning cycle overnight, leave all windows open, bring in a fan to get the smell out. In the morning there's no smell. I use my vacuum to get rid of the ash. Then I use a damp soft cloth to clean it. Works every time. I would never get my gasket wet because it can damage it.

      I leave oven racks soaking in a cup or so of clothes washing soap powder and hot water overnight or for a few hours, immersed in the metal laundry tub. Then in the morning use a Steelo soap pad to simply wipe over the steel and rinse. The grease just melts away so easily.

  • @peterlohnes1

    Dream on...this method works fine if you do it IMMEDIATELY after a messy cook. But you need a plastic scraper and a LOT of elbow grease to get that mess off with just baking soda and vinegar...and a pumice stone may scrape the lining. I had to do multiple baking soda scrubs and really it came down to using a plastic scraper you get for stove tops. I personally don't find the value in this method as it takes a loooooong time, and you will discover tons of baking soda that didn't come off each time your oven gets warm. Some suggests scrub daddy oven cleaner which apparently is enviro friendly

    Self clean ovens do not cause fires when they are dirty. The dirt just turns to ashes. if you use oven cleaners on the self clean oven you may damage the coating and it will not self clean well after. You only need to clean the door on a self clean. the self clean oven cleans a dirty oven fine.

      You’re obviously doing it wrong considering this guy just made a step by step video on how he cleaned this stove lol

    Dollar Stores often have thin shower curtains that are perfect for catching dirt and drips.
    Then, just fold them up and put them in the garbage.

      I like Cynthia Rodgers answer or you can also use a garbage bag just turn it inside out when finished use it for the trash or a dollar tree table cloth

    Forgive my chemistry ignorance here, but if you mixed baking soda with vinegar I thought all you did was neutralized the acid of the vinegar, seems counterintuitive to spray it with an acid then immediately neutralize it with baking soda.

      I know this is from a year ago lol sorry but if you’re still curious, both are a bit of cleaning agents on their own, and then their *reaction* together is what helps the cleaning more (not the resulting product)
