Introduction

This video demonstrates the best methods for cleaning an oven, focusing on efficiency and avoiding damage. The presenter outlines a step-by-step process using both natural (baking soda and vinegar) and commercial cleaning products, emphasizing safety precautions and time-saving techniques.

Key Takeaways

• Remove and soak oven racks: Soak racks in warm water and a Cascade dishwasher pod to loosen grime before scrubbing.
• Remove loose debris: Vacuum or brush away crumbs and burnt food before applying any cleaner. A plastic putty knife can help remove stubborn bits.
• Choose the right cleaner: Baking soda and vinegar (used separately) offer a natural option; a commercial oven cleaner (like Zep) provides a faster, stronger alternative. Always follow safety instructions and wear appropriate PPE when using commercial cleaners.
• Clean the oven: Apply chosen cleaner, allowing sufficient time for it to work (30 minutes to an hour). A razor blade scraper can effectively remove baked-on residue; however, use caution and lubricate the surface before using it. Avoid abrasive scrubbers to prevent scratching.
• Rinse thoroughly: Rinse the oven interior completely to remove any cleaner residue. A damp microfiber towel is recommended. Consider removing the oven door for easier access, but do so carefully with assistance if needed.
• Clean the oven racks: Scrub racks using a scour pad after soaking. Steel wool can be used for stubborn residue. Finally, rinse and dry.
