3 Tips to Get Your Oven Clean

oven

When it comes to the oven, harsh detergents and toxic cleanng agents have always been the norm for getting it clean. They’re effective, often inexpensive and most all easy. But they can also be lethal, containing a slew of carcinogens that can seriously harm you and your family.

At Original Cleaning, we are committed to using environmentally friendly products and techniques. We steer clear of nasty products, even when we have to clean ovens. To clean ovens, here’s what we often do instead, at home and at the workplaces we provide janitorial services for.

1. At home, deal with spills as soon as they happen after the oven cools. Wipe spills with a rag and plain water so taht it doesn’t have a chance to get seriously caked on during the next chicken you roastr. Use diluted non-toxic dish soap if it’s oily. You might need a little elbow grease to  get rid of the mess, but it’s well worth the effort when faced with the toxic alternative.

Wipe the mes clean after you’ve scrubbed it, using a microfibre cloth or something super absorbent.

2. Use the self cleaning button. Switch it on and open some windows (since it can get a little smelly). Afterwards, let the oven cool and wipe away the debris that’s left. Following this step makes it easier to deal with serious messes.

It’s best to use this technique after you’ve used the oven, since it’ll be hot already and won’t take so long to heat up to the self cleaning temperature (which is usually up to 900 degrees farenheit!)

3. Use a steam cleaner to target messess. The power of steam will erase caked on messes without any cleanser. Just wipe away what’s left over when done.

But of course, the best way to prevent caked on messes from happening in the first place is by simply placing dishes filled with food onto larger baking sheets. That way, any spills will fall onto the baking sheet, which is far easier to clean than the oven!
