I have not idea, but be careful you don't clean too hard and erase the numbers of the oven knob. I did that, and had to buy a new one, I could have bought a new stove (not really, but close) cheaper. They wanted $45 dollars for a replacement. I ended up buying an oven thermometer ($15). And used it to mark the 200, 300, 400 etc on the knob. Use an indelible thin marker, and use the thermometer to get to the in between temps. Pain in the butt.
Do you have a recipe for homemade oven cleaner?

No one will believe this, till it's tried.
Without going into (past job of selling whole house water systems) and reverse osmosis, I'll tell you one of the secrets of PURE good water - and how well it cleans anything.
Pure water (even bottled water) does not contain any of the minerals or chlorine that our spigot tap water has.
So (use bottled water/any brand, or Reverse Osmosis water for this, and you'll see, it works as well as any oven cleaner no matter how caked on the
grease and food in the oven it may be. Also works for knobs on the outside.
Lay 3-4 paper towels together on the bottom inside of your oven (any where that needs cleaned). You want to use several paper towels together
so they stay saturated longer. One paper towel on a grungy spot in the oven will dry out too fast.
For the sides: tape several paper towels together to the sides where it
needs cleaned.
Then fill a spray bottle with (bottled water) or reverse osmosis water and spray the paper towels till they're completely saturated with your "good water" (bottled), or reverse osmosis water.
Make sure you check every 30 minutes to be sure the paper towels are still saturated. They must stay wet. If they dry out, then it will take longer.
After approx 4 hours, just wipe it out using the paper towels you've sprayed. The baked on grunge and grime will lift and wipe off like you've never seen before, or imagined it could!
That's it. Don't use soap mixed with the bottled water, nothing (just the pure water).
IF you use tap water out of your spigot, this will NOT work at all. You must use either bottled water or reverse osmosis water, because bottled water is so pure, or reverse osmosis water, it will break up *anything* even a baked on mess in the oven, no matter how long it's been baked on or how bad it is.
If the oven is incredibly grungy, you might need to keep saturating the
paper towels longer.
To clean knobs, submerge them into a container filled with bottled
water. No soap.
No soap is needed till all baked on grease is completely cleaned off of
either in the inside of the oven or the knobs. Then if you want to use
soap, use it.
This is such and impressive way to clean an oven, you'll never go back
to using chemicals again for the job.
Does anyone know of any home remedies to use to clean an oven? I cooked chicken and all the grease ran off the pan to the bottom and smoked the whole house. Needless to say the oven is a mess and I don't have any oven cleaner.
