Cleaning the Oven

To clean your oven, spray with oven cleaner at night (I use Easy Off lemon scent). The next day, use a wet sponge to wipe off the oven. Use gloves and a bucket of water, as you'll have to keep washing the sponge. It makes oven cleaning much easier.

Cleaning an Oven

Any tips on how to make cleaning an oven easier? I normally use Easy Off and rubber gloves and get on my knees and scrub, scrub. Is there a better way? It is not a self cleaning oven.

A good way to make cleaing the oven easier on you is to use the Easy Off Blue. This is not as smelly and is just a little safer to breathe if you get a whiff of it. You can spray it on at night and let soak until the next day. That way, you are letting the cleaner do most of the work. I have also used a pancake turner to help scrub off the burnt on mess. Get paper towels and just be prepared to throw about a whole role away so you won't have to wash extremely soiled cloths. I hope this helps!

Cleaning an oven a much detested job can be made easier by following these steps. Use the self cleaning procedure if available. Never keep any racks in while using the self cleaning setting as they discolor and no longer shine.

I place all the racks in a large landscape bag with 1 tablespoon ammonia and close bag tightly immediately so no air is enclosed in bag. Allow to remain overnight and in morning remove and use a brillo pad. Most of the burned on gook comes off with ease.

RE: Cleaning The Oven

A stove repairman passed on a tip: Use the self-clean feature on your oven a little as possible. It cleans by heating the oven to a very high temperature which burns out the heating element faster in ovens. (04/03/2006)

I have a self cleaning oven but don't use it as frequently as I should. My oven has baked on food and the glass in the door is so dirty! Does anyone have any suggestions on the easiest way to clean this?


What is the easiest way to clean a baked on oven? I have an electric stove, apartment size, and I have a hard time getting down on my knees. I need an easy solution please?


What cleaning solutions are best for removing baked on grease, etc. on an oven?


How do I get an oven clean? I have already used Easy Off on both hot and cold oven. It still isn't clean. This was a brand new oven 3 months ago!


When cleaning the oven, we have found that of all the cleaners that can be used for the job, Windex is what gets it the cleanest, and it doesn't harm the stove or oven at all!
