Cleaning the oven is definitely bottom of the list when it comes to chores,I avoid it at all costs,I've found nothing works better than our peg :D


Without using harsh abrasive products like steel wool the soda and vinegar/water method works well :)

Bicarb is wonderful stuff. It works well cleaning a pan if stuff has stuck to bottom. A couple of teaspoons of it pore boiling water on a leave a while. Should make cleaning easier. Sprinkled on carpets it take away smell of vomit or animal accidents. Leave a bit and vac off. Shake some over the plughole and pour white vinegar over it and it cleans the drain well too. Who needs expensive cleaning products.

Elbow Grease

Yes but how do you get the Elbow Grease off?

Re: cleaning ovens
 

Bicarb is good for removing nasty niffs from the fridge......it is also very potent at removing the smell of cat waz(if you have been unfortunate enough to have a tomcat spray your carpet).......it is a good addition to a load of whites to improve and maintain the whiteness.
It is a good mouthwash when you have mouth ulcers.....but it tastes horrible.

Re: cleaning ovens
 

Gordon, you can leave elbow grease on any smooth surface..it is never visible if you have put enough of it on.

What? an oven needs cleaning? Well, I suppose if you use it then yes it's your fault you'll have to clean it.

Me? nah, nearest to an oven is re-heating the remains of a take away for breakfast in a micro, any splashes eventually dry out and act like a greaseproof coating, try it, after ten years you never see a difference from one day to the next.

I never tried Johnsons Baby Oil on babies but always found it very useful- was surprised to find it also stops stainless steel showing fingermarks- dig your bottle out and try it on the microwave, Less.Not the inside, of course!;)

Re: cleaning ovens
 

Yes, I knew that you could use baby oil for stainless steel.....but I don't like it
I prefer to use fairy liquid and then polish it off with kitchen paper.

Re: cleaning ovens
 

Only on stainless steel, I hope!

Re: cleaning ovens
 

Well no, I use the same principles for my white appliances too.

Re: cleaning ovens
 

WD 40 does that as well
