I used to do baking soda and vinegar overnight. It works but found that there was still a lot of scrubbing. In frustration, I mixed the baking soda with Dawn and added HOT water. I spread it on and started scrubbing right away while it was still wet. Still need to scrub but not as much or as hard. Made the job a lot quicker! As the baking soda dried I kept rewetting the scrubber with hot water. I use the vinegar at the end to dissolve the baking soda residue and do a final rinse. Seems to work well.

That's basically how I clean oven then I stated using the new dawn power wash works amazing. Spray oven with it sprinkle baking soda let set for 10mins then scrub with scrub daddy rinse with vinegar literally sparkles

To spread the paste you can use either a paint brush or a cooking brush whatever it’s called. Non abrasive and works really wel

Several years ago I came across making a baking soda paste that you put on and just leave on the oven for several baking uses. The premise was it would take off the burnt on grease. Yes it did work some over time, but who wants to have that mess sitting in your oven for a couple of weeks. Have had the best success with using cling wrap over oven cleaner that was applied to sides and bottom of oven and left overnight. It kept the oven cleaner from drying out and was much easier to clean up afterward. However, like most people I don't like harsh chemicals and think I am going to try cling wrap over the baking soda paste.

Hi I am Trying it right now hope it works! Thank you!

Interesting! I think it is very difficult to avoid getting anything on the cooking element in an electric stove. Although I agree it is best to avoid it as much as possible.

Thank you for the honesty

You demonstrate on a gas fired oven. However, for electric ovens the heating element must be protected from the water, vinegar and soda. Use cling wrap to protect elements. It is best to keep the elements as dry as possible since they get pretty expensive to replace.

I always use a stiff spatula and rubber spatula to remove as much of the mixture as possible, kind of scrap it into a pile and pick it up with a paper towel while dry and then go in with water/sponge/scrubber. Just so much easier with most of the product removed to finish up.

Am currently cleaning my oven. Ends up baby and adult cleaning wipes along a commercial oven cleaner, removing the grime beautifully. Think grime from the top of the oven left over from another renter which dripped down on the rare occasions that I did use my oven...Added bonus is I do not have to wash the grimy cloths. For a scrubber, my recent purchase of a 3M 'medium' block sander from the paint department working out very well. Initially, I bought the sander to clean some accidental chemical pit stains from my stainless steel sink. Have tried many of my swear by products but not getting much results. Including stainless steel cleaner. The 3M sponge with some effort along with the stainless steel cleaner has removed the stains to a brand new condition. And does not scratch... Am getting ready to move out of my rental so I will be happy to get that chunk of my deposit returned.

Instead of wetting, scrape with spatula and keep putting it in a bowl. Only use a wet rag after you've scraped up what you can.

I was curious to see the link you mentioned you'd post, to clean between the glass on the oven door. I don't see it :(

I use baking soda and vinegar with Dawn dish detergent on cold oven. Not a lot of scrubbing

I wonder if part of the hack is keeping the door closed to keep in the moisture from the mixture. Might have taken half the time if it hadn't dried out and crusted up like that. Maybe try again but add more water before leaving it for 45 min with the door closed?

Just to be clear, you're cleaning your oven with salt. That's it. Mixing baking soda with vinegar makes salt as they neutralize each other. You can use baking soda to scrub, basically as an abrasive paste, and use vinegar afterwards to cut through the grease. Or the other way around. But mixing them is a bit pointless.

When you add vinegar to baking soda, you are just creating salt, sodium acetate, with an offgas of CO2. So its no longer vinegar and baking soda.

I think it's about soaking. When you make a paste of baking soda en water, the baking soda keeps it moist. The next day it's soaked. Don't turn on the oven.

Did you wash and reuse the microfiber cloths you used for this cleaning or do they have to be thrown away?

After you do this cleaning (to get the big stuff off), can you run your oven cleaner?

When you used the stove you clean it, the same with the oven. Cleaning vinegar water and dish soap does the job.

I enjoy your videos, because I enjoy having a clean home, and I enjoy being efficient. Your demos are fun to watch. A couple of comments: 1) There are instructions on the internet for how to make Super Washing Soda, AKA Soda Ash. It is a concentrated form of baking soda, and the procedure involves heating baking soda in an oven. So maybe just use Super Washing Soda? (Ready-made, an Arm and Hammer product. Cheap.) 2) Scraping with a razor blade (from Dollar Tree) is an easy way to scrape of ash AND to clean the inside oven window. Also fine for glass cooktops. (I learned this years ago when I first bought a glass cooktop and it was packaged with a razor blade for this purpose.) 3) I recently used Dawn Power Wash foaming spray to clean my oven and it did a very good job. DPW contains isopropyl alcohol, so now I've been adding some to my usual dishwashing liquid. 4) Microfiber is POLYESTER. So when you are wiping with it, you are leaving bits of polyester behind, which you will then cook and eat. Is that something that people want to do? We're already ingesting polyester in the fish we eat, as fish swim in and eat microscopic polyester in the oceans, seas, etc. (from dumping). Thanks for your efforts and posts!

I just sprinkle the bicarbonate of soda onto the oven and then place th vinegar neat on, no water. It bubbles and fizzes. Leave for 10 mins and wipe clean. Water hardens it.

Be mindful of your oven door gasket when cleaning your oven door with anything.

I followed one of your oven cleaning videos with Dawn. You almost killed me with the fumes.

I think the original video may be using metric. In that case 100 C is 212 F.

Huh. That is a good thought. I may have to test this again.

Seems if you made a paste of soda and water and applied to the surface then spray it with the vinegar it's loosens the junk is in the reaction not after . A warm oven as low as can be worked by hand in is a treat , but does remove the moisture that helps loosen what your trying to removed so your defeating the purpose. JMO

Did that oven door not come off? It helps to get inside when you lift door off. ;) (Not being mouthy, just asking. I have a spinal disorder & if my oven door didn't come off I'd not be able to clean it).

2:45 Did you say there was a video for cleaning the door when there is stuff stuck in between the glass? That's the problem I'm having right now. I can clean both the outside and inside of the oven door but there is dirt actually inside inside that I can't get to. I hope that makes sense. I don't know if I have to actually take the door apart to get to it.

Yes you do actually have to remove the oven door and unscrew the pieces and take it apart to clean. Spray with oven cleaner, let sit and use a razor blade (wet not dry) to clean the glass. Even though you can stick a pain stick with a cloth over it in some ovens that have holes at the top, it’s likely to need the full treatment. There are videos and I’ll try to do one to show you. It can be heavy so I hope you can have someone to help.
