When I moved into my house 1.5 years ago, I cleaned the cabinets, the refrigerator, the carpets, the bathrooms but somehow I forgot to clean the oven (the previous tenant wasn’t very tidy or…hygenic). When our oven started setting off the fire alarm from all the smoke it was emitting, I knew the time to clean it had come and gone and I had some making up to do. I found this pin for homemade oven cleaner and I already had everything I needed at home.

Mixing up the ingredients was easy, and dare I say, fun. Took me back to 3rd grade science. I followed the directions exactly and then got to scrubbing.

It wasn’t as tough on the grime as I thought it would be, but it did it’s best work on the glass. This took a considerable amount of elbow grease, but some of the grossness was removed. I thought I did a good job of wiping off the cleanser and rinsing the oven, but I was wrong.

The white film over the oven is the leftover cleanser. It wasn’t visible until it had dried.

| The steps and materials are easy, and the mix works. If your oven is only averagely dirty you’ll be ok. If your oven is a disgusting mess like mine, maybe find something a little stronger. | ||||||
