Easy Ways to Clean
Your Oven
Finding an easy way
to clean your oven can be difficult! Today we share some of the best ways to
clean your oven without having to use much force or chemicals! It is important
when doing any big spring clean that you tackle your oven even though it is one
of those extra tough spots. But, come on, we can do it!
Bicarbonate of Soda
1. Heat your oven
gently and allow to cool down.
2. When the oven is
just warm, add enough water to a cup of bicarbonate of soda to make a thin
paste.
3. Apply the paste
thinly to the walls of your oven, avoiding any elements.
4. Let the mixture set
over a few hours.
5. Then take a damp Chux® Robuste and
gently wipe the mixture off.
6. The bicarbonate of
soda will break down the grease and grime and make it easy to remove!
Bowl of Hot Water
Using steam to
clean your oven is even easier than the above method. It is good for a
relatively clean oven, but if you have a lot of grease, you may need to try
something a bit stronger.
1. Place a large, oven
proof container full of water into your oven on the lowest rack.
2. Turn the oven onto
the highest setting and ‘bake’ for 20 – 30 minutes.
3. Allow the oven to
cool (without opening the door).
4. Then wipe the oven
down. The steam will loosen any grime and will just wipe away!
The Best Chemicals to Use
The best way to
keep your oven racks so shiny you could do your make-up in them, is to use
Gumption! We love this stuff at Stay at Home Mum! It can pretty much clean
anything. It uses a special soap formulation that breaks down grime and
gently removes dirt particles for a thorough clean and a sparkling finish. Fill
your laundry tub, bathtub or a deep bucket with hot to boiling water. Add
the racks and allow to soak for thirty minutes. Rinse with fresh clean
water and allow the racks to dry in the sun. The grease just ‘falls off”.
Only use this
method with stainless steel type racks, as the cast iron racks will rust!
Tips to Keeping Your Oven Looking Good:
- Place
a large baking dish on the rack below whatever you are cooking, this will
catch any overflows etc and can just be popped in the dishwasher
afterwards.
- If
your oven racks fit into the dishwasher (and they are stainless steel) –
pop them in on the hottest setting. The heat and suds will clean any
grime or spots. If your racks are really stained you may have to do
this twice!
- Keep
the outside of your oven looking clean by investing in the new Chux® Kitchen
Duets. The 2 cloth system works in two ways. The first cloth easily
removes any grease or stains from the outside of your oven while the
second cloth removes any fingerprints and leaves it with a streak free
shine.Chux® Kitchen Duets is great on a
number of kitchen appliances from kitchen sinks to range hoods.
What do you use to
clean your oven? Are you a water an elbow grease kind of girl? Or do you prefer
to use chemicals?
