Oven Cleaning with Baking Soda

I don't like to use chemicals so cleaning the top of the stove with ammonia like the book recommends is not what I wanted. In one place it says use ammonia and in another do not use ammonia. Go figure. And too I'm lazy so I haven't cleaned the oven for a year. I guess it's not recommended to put tin foil on the bottom of oven because it changes the ability of the oven to cook properly. So when I saw how the baking soda cleaned my kettle after rhubarb/strawberry and sugar were stuck on it, I took a chance that this would work.

Thanks heaps for an instructional video on how to clean a oven without being overpowered by oven spray. A job that I despise and I love how down to earth you were in presenting this. If you have anymore cleaning tips, I 'd love to watch them. Cheers from down under Australia.

@sweetdivineable thanks. we dislike chemical cleaners, they are expensive, smelly, and toxic...we are considering doing some other all-natural vids this year and helping people learn how to avoid toxins in their lives...we have found ways to wash clothes, dishes, showers, and even our bodies without the use of commercial chemicals...coming soon, thanks for watching. If you want some other tips, send a PM, we will answer. cheers J

whats in the spray bottle?

[DawnShereeJoe]

plain old water

I use my homemade dishwasher stuff to clean my ceramic stove top. Works better than the expensive creme stuff.  Just sprinkle on and add some water to make a paste. I cup washing soda, 1 cup borax, 1/4 c coarse kosher salt, I/4 c citric acid or a lemon flavored koolaid pk without the sugar. Use 1 T for the dishwasher or use to clean your oven or stove top. Finish with vinegar and water to get the residue off and create a shine.

I wonder, if you sprayed your oven with vinegar instead of water, would that eliminate the hours of waiting until you wiped it off?

@christy406 hold on...you said you made a paste...try sprinkling the soda on dry over the grease...then wet it down..that might be the problem...good luck

[DawnShereeJoe]

@christy406 it should work, unless youre not using enough baking soda, sometimes you have to re-apply, depends on how bad your stove is and you have to repeatedly wet it, and wait for it to dry....i cant understand why it wouldnt work for you, keep trying...

[christy406]

@christy406 I tried this but it didnt work :(

[christy406]

This video is really helpful. I made the paste and applied it all over my oven already. Cant wait till tomorrow to see how it worked! Thanks!

I've been dreading cleaning my oven.

Surprisingly for me, it's not the job itself (really dont mind it that much) but it's the chemicals that are used. Not only do they take my breath away, i think you all know what i mean lol.. but they are horribly bad for my african gray parrot. Soooo tonight baking soda is going in the oven!

thanks for the video :D
