Can we just salute how this lady is putting her money where her mouth is. Look at how she is exhausted at the end but the result is worth it. This method required a ton of elbow grease but it is sustainable, environment friendly and dirt cheap. Lifesaving advices and tips on this channel. Happily subscribed :)
Yes!! The truth is I almost didn't post this video. I felt like I failed and it was too long and people wouldn't watch it. And it's one of our most popular videos. Thank you for your kind comment and for subscribing.
@@CleanFreakGermaphobe I'm knackered just watching but feel oven guilt for the state of mine
Wonderful job! You did great 😊
@@CleanFreakGermaphobethis method directly produces CO2 and results in a mixture that is effectively just salt water? The vinegar and baking soda neutralize each other, you're better off just using plain water?
I love the way it doesn't make it seem easy and she's talking as she goes so you can hear the effort, instead of a voice over that doesn't show any of the work. It sets a realistic expectation of what to expect.
Line the bottom rack with foil to catch any spills. My mom told me about it, and it makes clean up easy.
I still do that.
Me too !
The bottem isn't even where most of the mess is in my oven 😔
WHY DIDNT I THINK OF THAT!!!! thank your mom for me!
I put aluminum foil at bottom less mess less cleaning
Bruh you just saved my lungs from so many toxic chemicals. Thank you!!
You're welcome, it is such a relief even though it's harder than using chemicals! Today I would use a sharp, razor blade (not dry, so it won't scratch) on the glass.
@@CleanFreakGermaphobe 1q
I saved my lungs by not wearing masks.
I put it on and let dry about 30 mins and then spray the vinegar with some lemon let stand overnight and spray vinegar again and wipe up and it gets super clean. Also I don’t spray tons of vinegar the second time just enough to wet a bit and then wipe up
yes...I dilute my vinegar
I find after I put the baking Soda on I just leave it overnight and in the morning I can almost wipe the oven clean with paper towel it comes off so easy
Im going to try this!!!
Doesn’t it dry hard overnight?
@@SassyDogFashions yeah untill you spray the vinegar on it
@Clean Freak and Germaphobe. You ladies are so sweet and kind and nonjudgmental. I'm disabled and used to clean pretty well. But now it's extremely difficult because of the tremendous pain I'm in. The oven looked wonderful, you did a wonderful job and you worked hard.
This is real. Thanks for not making it seem like such an easy and clean process!
Glad it was helpful!
Brave Lady - I did it too...it was much work the scrubbing with pressure...thank you !
I love this, thank you I will be using this.
I always wipe down my oven and the stove top pans plus the racks with a paste of baking soda when it is clean which makes it so much easier to clean spills in the oven, stove top pans plus the racks. Whenever there are spills I clean before it gets to messy and reapply the baking soda.
Thank you soo much!! I've looking for someone who has the same oven but couldn't and then I found this video! 👏💯
thank you for sharing… I will definitely be trying this technique out.
Thank u so much dis helpful tips help alot bc no one knows actullay hard and work it really is to deep clean an oven inside wen u to it at home urself but i will be doing dis and showing my daughter as well bless ur heart 🙏❤
I’m not sure if you realise it, but It is the washing soda paste that is softening the grease and making it easier to remove. The bubbling foam you see when you spray the vinegar is merely the vinegar (an acid) reacting with the washing soda (alkali) i.e. neutralisation. This is a useful action but it is not helping to clean the fat from the cooker, unless the paste has dried out a bit, in which case, the water in the vinegar is helping with the flow. As you rightly say, the longer the soda can be left on, then the less work is required. Using a pumice stone on an enamel surface? They are two things that should really be kept apart from each other, to avoid damaging the enamel and making future cleaning even more difficult. Of course, there is always the “clean the oven more often” approach but I prefer to do other things with my time. I’m more into the “leave it on longer” method 😉. I wish you well.
Thanks for your input. On the pumice stones, use the cleaning kind only, not the ones you use on your feet). I've used them on many ovens with no scratching. You must make sure they're wet and never use them dry. Many pro cleaners use them, but it's possible there are some surfaces they're not good for. Some ovens warn against using any commercial cleaners on your enamel, so I can imagine using a stone could be a no, too.
Same, I’m also into doing the whole liquid process a second time rather that scrubbing at such crazy angles lol
@@CleanFreakGermaphobe What about using glad wrap/plastic film over the baking soda/vinegar mix to keep it wet and working for longer?
Baking soda is just an abrasive. Vinegar will help break down buildup.
@@bobbiek2960 baking soda is pretty alkaline
So much work! The new ovens clean the steam. Easy peasy! You did a great job! 👍🏻
Thank you so much for being real. I have watched so many videos on youtube on how to clean an oven, and all they do is talk about themselves before getting to the task at hand. I love that you are REAL, no special hair, make up etc. "its like, can you get to the point already", I'm really going to do it thank you so much for the confidence. I already know its going to be messy. Oh well. My oven is way past due, ha 23 years. Its going to happen.
First, thank you for your kind comments. I almost didn't publish it because I thought it took so much longer and was so much harder than I expected. So I thought no one would watch it! I wanted to delete it. But then it ended up being so popular. Anyone who's cleaned a bad oven knows it's not a 5 minute job, especially when you don't use oven cleaner. But video after video shows it being so easy. I wondered what was wrong with me. HA!
I want to try this method - boil water and put a few powdered dishwashing pods in (like the Kirkland pods you get at Costco). Cover the bottom of the oven and use a turkey baster or cup to get it on the sides (the top is hopeless, ha!). Let sit overnight and wipe off. I'm not sure if it works on all ovens so I'm still testing it. But my aunt cleaned her oven this way and it was so much easier. Then we tried it but only let it sit for an hour and it wasn't that helpful. So I'm on a mission to see if it'll work if I leave it longer.
And use THIS pumice stone wet on the glass and hard spots. I wish I'd known how much better this pumice stone is than the one I used in this video (find it here - amzn.to/3zArSBq). It costs more but it's not as porous. It does a better job! Doesn't fall apart so much and leave a gray residue behind. Plus a case and a handle. The one I used is scratchy and stuck to all my cloths. The right tools really help.
Good luck!!
Thank you love it no chemical material that will cause cancer or any disease
Cooking white vinegar and Cleaning Vinegar are not interchangeable. The cleaning vinegar is stronger and made to give more strength.
You can clean with cooking vinegar but NOT the other way
Wow. The cleaning mixture and of course lots of your own energy……..it came out 1000% looking better. Thanks for sharing🤗🤗🤗
Thanks for watching. I truly almost didn't post this video (I thought no one would want to see how much work it was). And it ended up being one of our most popular videos.
The "bubbling action" is just the vinegar + baking soda neutralizing, which basically makes salt water. I found the Scrub Daddy Powerpaste works the best for cleaning ovens. You don't have to wait and let it sit. It's all natural, comes with a sponge in the container, and I even used the SD Scour Pad to buff out the grimier spots 👍
It amazes me how many people don't know this. So many diy cleaners say to use baking soda and vinegar but it doesn't really do anything.
Some people don't have access to the scrub daddy or mommy in their region, hence the need for these videos
So what do u suggest used them alone?
@@omawumiadokpaye6628 using baking soda combined with castile soap works amazing and is easily accessible!
never heard of scrub daddy powerpaste.
Thank you for your time and trouble will try this xxx
Well done. I have an even better plan for ME . I met these nice ladies, Marie Callender and Amy! They have wonderful cuisine at my local grocer. I admire your agility!
Yes they seem like nice ladies. And thank you, I make jokes to myself about creating a workout for cleaners.
Thank you so much ❤ I cleaned last night my oven it’s worked perfectly
This looks brand new you did a great job. Thank u for making this video.
Just finished cleaning an oven using this method, worked great! For the racks we soaked them in a bath tub with laundry detergent and dryer sheets, came off easy!
What is it about the dryer sheets? I've heard that before.
What and how do you use dryer sheets?? Thanks.. Im always try find different ways to clean oven racks and stove creates
Gross. Lol. You really shouldn’t cross contaminate like that no matter how clean you think your tub is. Best to just buy a large plastic tote for soaking things having to do with eating.
@@larsonfamilyhouse
People been using tub and kitchen sinks for many things, then bleach BLEACH
@@larsonfamilyhouse I’m betting that she cleaned it further after the bath tub soak, so no grossness 🤣🤣
I find its easiest to keep your oven clean by not using it
Decorative ovens could catch on. My husband had a decorative KitchenAid until at got married and I started using it!
🤣🤣🤣
@@myiagordon3037 00p0pp0
Haha...that is so true...😂😂😂😂
LOL!!!!
I'm going to try it .I was worried about the coils I didn't know if I had to take them out but you just lifted it up .Thank you
This came out great. You can take the racks outside and spray them heavily with easy off and rinse it with a hose or bucket
THANK YOU !
Can't wait to try it..thank you.
This is very useful, I am going to try this.
Brilliant! I'm trying tomorrow. My oven looks just as bad and with Thanksgiving fast approaching, I just realized how many people will be looking in my oven!
Thank you for this video my oven needs to be cleaned it’s not really that bad but I refuse to use the self cleaning the amount of fires that have been caused by that is insane including my mothers house luckily they spotted it before anyways thank you again
Lol...me too!!!...😂
Lemon juice works great and it makes the place smell nice too. Just spray juice in the oven then gently scrape with a scraper and wipe clean. It's that easy
That's a new one I'll have to check out, thanks! I used a razor blade on the oven glass this week and it worked AMAZING! Check out this short video demo of it czcams.com/video/CckqwbBMCTo/video.html
I love the idea of a pumice stone, definitely going to use this next time. Thanks
Thanks for watching and commenting, we appreciate it!
@@CleanFreakGermaphobe Thank you for the video! Doesn't the pumice stone scratch the surface?
Thank you for your kind words ok
Those are really useful tips. I have been cleaning my stove way different, thank you for your video, yippi.
Really messy but effective. I have the same problem as you. I have to put an old curtain on the floor to catch the mess I make. Great job 👍
Great tip to use an old curtain. Thank you and yes, messy but it works!
I tried Dawn Powerwash on my oven. It worked great. I also use it in my bathroom and for any tough greasy stains. It’s now my new favorite cleaner.
I also soak my oven racks in the tub with Dawn while I’m cleaning the oven. The grease usually scrubs right off.
Mine too...it's fabulous
The power wash spray takes so much rinsing to get clean, smooth again. I feel like there's a film, unless I do a ton of rinsing.
Oh wow! many thanks for this method. I will try it today.
tip: use the curly metal scrubs on the racks it goes way faster under running hot water, then any left over burnt grease spots scrape with pointy blade type or small sharp knife. & on the "joints" use those small fine metal bristle brushes you can find in dollar places.
My mother used to put the oven racks in a garbage bag with ammonia and tie the bag. Of course this was all done outside. She would leave them for a period of time and then take them out and rinse them with the garden hose. They would be clean as a whistle without any scrubbing.
Is ammonia the same as vinegar?
Nope. They are very different. Good question.
Yes. That isn great method too. Your mom was defending on to something
You did a great job!!! Also, the very bad stains can be removed with whitening toothpaste.
Thanks so much. I've never heard of that toothpaste cleaning tip. I've got to try it
You can clean your sterling silver jewelry with tooth paste, too. Crest Gel so it is not too abrasive.
This is real with so many ppls ovens Great inspirational video! 😊
I find this is the best way for me, though I can never seem to eliminate ALL of the baking soda, it appears when I first use the oven again and a little bit more is revealed over the next few times I use it, but hey! It's just a wee bit of baking soda, it doesn't smell or do anything. I really think this is wonderful. It's practically free, it doesn't stink up the house or even the oven, and won't exacerbate my breathing trouble like practically all store bought cleaners do nowadays. By the time I get around to this job I ALWAYS have to vacuum out the oven first. A lot of DIY presenters don't have to do that part, but I sure do. Thanks for the pumice stone tip! Frankly, it looks ingenious.
I suppose if one was super concerned they could run the oven once to see where it appears but like you said it doesn’t affect anything- a slight dusting of soda changes the taste of food a whole lot less than all that burnt junk! One could do a pre-pre heat and air it out the first time if they were so concerned:)
Gotta try this
Great job!!
That's amazing work. Thanks
Just watched your video and have a tip for you for cleaning your oven racks, place them in a trough (if they don't fit you can put them in a bath) cover them with hot water and add washing powder leave for about an hour while you have a coffee after cleaning the rest of the oven 😀 take them out and rinse and all the greece and grime will be gone.
Thank you. What a Job! Am cleaning my over now with your method
Yes it's a job and I'm still determined to find easier ways. Like a rubber scraper, soaking methods, etc
A steel wool ball (without cleanser in it) will also work well instead of the pumice stone that wastes away.
Thankyou i love it when something truely works x
Thank you so much. I will try this out
Great job, looks fantastic. No more Easy Off for me. Great tip on the pumice stone, too!
Thanks so much. If I did this oven today I would use a razor blade on the oven glass - see this demo czcams.com/video/CckqwbBMCTo/video.html it's AMAZING!! Also, Brillo pads.
I meant to buy easy off and forgot! I will be putting this on my oven and stove tomorrow.
First take old rags to wipe the oven with once the baking soda & vinegar has acted. To be sure you can spread pure dishwashing liquid & dry it with clean old rags then rinse out. You save time & work.
I have NEVER heard of using a pumice stone before to clean off that hard to remove baked on food! Thank you! Im going to try it!
Amazing results.🎉
Never thought to use a pumice stone for cleaning the oven. Great video 👍🏾
Thanks, it works so well!! I'm never cleaning an oven without one again!
Don't u will damage the surface and it will rust. Use a knife on the side and it will come off
I use a razor blade to scrape the oven and also my glass cooktop.
I really like this video. I've come to highly respect baking soda and vinegar for all kinds of cleaning. But I did not know the two can work with an oven. And the pumice stone was a surprising addition to the cleaning. How brilliant! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for commenting 😀
Very helpful, like the environmental friendly solution, and the workout!
Thanks for sharing your experience.
And thank you for watching and for commenting
Impressive work! And yes I get a workout cleaning my oven and sweat.
Pumice stone 🤯 going to try this
You inspired me to clean my oven thank you
Pumice stone! Never would have thought of that. Thank you for the tip.
A word of caution since it's an Electric stove ( UNPLUG IT or SHUT OFF THE POWER FIRST) the elements always have have power to one side of the element !
yikes--RIGHT! Especially since she's spraying right at where the heating element plugs in. But what a can-do attitude of a fellow-cleaning-hater!
But whom in the history of cleaning ovens has electrocuted themselves while cleaning their oven?
@@freegee3503 someone who would be the responsible party for the tag that says, to reduce the risk of shock-unplug the oven 🤣
@@freegee3503 I've not, but once after I cleaned an electric oven, and used it the following day, the element shorted out and caught on fire - so the man has a point & that was back in the day before the internet existed when it happened.
@@Kelli_D. Something else must have contributed to the short and fire. There are built in ovens that cannot be unplugged without un-installing them which through out neighborhoods are sprayed and cleaned all of the time without incident. Although I wont say anything against what one desires to do to feel safe.
Old pumice stone to the rescue... Great tip. Thanks.
Yes, for ovens and toilets!
Thank you
Lovely, thank you 🙏
So helpful
I have another comment-the dollar tree Awesome vinegar is super strong and works great. I hate the smell, but it works great.
I misread your comment. We have noticed that some of the cleaner like this aren't as strong as if you buy them somewhere else. It doesn't state the dilution so it's tough to know how it compares.
Great tips on cleaning the oven. Thanks
The most back breaking job. Thanks for posting.
It can be the toughest cleaning job. Those groves on the side and the top are the worst. Thanks for watching and your comment!
A microfiber towel which you get 2 at the dollar tree for a buck would safe a lot of time and makes it easier. Papertowel and napkins are wood based so after time believe it or not they leave micro scratches which give the stuff your cleaning more areas to hide in and harder to get out. Also they have a wand extension with scrub pad at dollar tree that gives you more scrubbing power because of the torque aspect and it gives you an easier way to reach those far corners and wall . Here is a massive tip try putting a pot oven safe of course in the oven filled 3/4 with water and vinegar and turn on until it starts tomorrow steam the entire oven then turn it off and watch how much easier it is to clean. You can use the same method for microwaves and of course use a microwave safe container .
Yuck then the vinegar gets in the ventilation? holes and your food will taste like vinegar because you can get past the holes to clean it
Love the pumice stone tip, that's a new one on me. Thanks x
Aluminum foil works as well
Is that's a electric stove look like it is
Thanks 💐
Thank you perfect viseo
You can soak your oven grated in a garbage bag with Ammonia over night and you can wipe the grates clean! I also use SOS Pads. They are awesome for this kind if cleaning. I am going to try the baking soda and vinegar for my pans and Oven to see what I like better
Let us know after you try it!
@@CleanFreakGermaphobe Great idea give this a try
Thank You for your beautiful video so great job.
Ah so nice, thank you!
Great thanks
This method took me several times. I ,even left it over night and still did work I used a spong.😊
I never thought of using a brush like that .Great idea.
Why thank you!
Great tips, especially the pumice stone.
PS I think you can remove the oven element for easier access.
That’s what I was going to say. Why didn’t she remove the heating element? It comes right out and you don’t have to struggle to clean around it like she did!
I probably should've but it wasn't my oven and I was so focused on cleaning it, I didn't think to.
@@louhollingsworth1273 wouldn't that be dangerous to remove wires and rehook? i have a fear of electric zaps from seeing my dad zapped a lot from wall plugs way back...
I’ve wondered about that. Okay, I’ll have to learn how. Thanks.
Great work soda and vin do better than chemicals. You should be able to take out your door to make it easier.
This is amazing way of cleaning ones oven. Keep and bring some more. Following from Kenya
Great information, thanks for sharing!!
You're welcome, we appreciate your comment!
Pretty much every oven door just lifts off the hinges. Then you can lay the door on a paper-covered counter to clean it. And clean the oven without crouching over the oven door the entire time. Much easier!
Oven doors are very heavy for us old ladies
That was satisfying
Great job!
Great idea!
Nice tip!! Cheaper & more natural
I read a post that advised to put the racks, wrapped in foil, in the bath and cover them with water and drop a dishwashing puck in the water outside. It worked somewhat. The racks were presentable.
@@marjoriebridge3372 I will give it a try also. If it's faster and better. I'm all for it😏
I enjoyed watching this and you did a great job! 😮😊
Thank you for sharing. I appreciate you and your efforts.
And thank you for your kind comment
Thanks for sharing☕☕💕👍👍
I watched this video then went and tried it the next day.... it totally worked! Thank you so much!
Another oven cleaned!
Got my pumice stones! Dollar store what!? What?!😎
amazing solution
A big thanks. Cheers.
Worked like a charm!
The pumice stone is an amazing tip ty
And I'm working on another way to use one that sort of blows my mind!
@@CleanFreakGermaphobe lol can’t wait to see
Wow!! I’m super impressed! Never saw anyone suggest using a pumice stone, what a wonderful suggestion. It looks like it took a lot less effort than I’m giving cleaning mine. Thanks for sharing
Also only like natural methods, so thank you for that.
