For the mark on the oven, there is window scraper. I've used it many times, it's a bit scary the first time but it works wonder. It's to research, but i think that mixing vinegar and backing soda together cancel the effect they can have individually. The chemical reaction is the only effect they have. PS. It's always a pleasure to watch your videos 🥰

For drains, my plumber warned me off baking soda. He said it can lead to clogs because it settles and can accumulate in low spots in pipes. He said dish soap is the best option. It dissolves fats etc that can accumulate. Pour some down the drain and let it sit for awhile. Then flush with lots of water. He also suggests this before you leave on vacation: squirt some dish soap down every sink and shower drain and leave it. It can help prevent plugged drains.

My plumber also recommended dish soap. He poured about 1/4 cup down the drain and let it sit and do its work. He suggested doing this before using the dishwasher. The hot water draining out of the dishwasher will finish the job. (Edited with the help of @MyFocusVaries, Thank you!) We need to remember that combining vinegar and baking soda makes a small volcano but the reaction is actually the two substances neutralizing each, thus leaving a solution that is neither an acid nor a base so it's not really doing anything.

There must be something different about plumbing in Sweden, because in another video she dumps coffee grinds in her sink pipe - which is a no-no for pipes in America.

For folks wanting cleaner recipes, the big thing I've learned recently is not to mix vinegar into your soap mix. Vinegar is an acid and neutralizes the soap's cleaning power. Clean first with soap, then use vinegar separately for its degreasing and disinfecting power.

Im a retired professional cleaner. For toaster oven and regular oven glass, I use a single edge razor blade ALWAYS WITH SOAPY WATER, never dry.

Hello Benita, in Germany, we have copper cloths and cleaning stones, the two together work wonderfully for baking trays. If you have something like this in Sweden, I can only recommend it. For the oven door, I can also recommend the cleaning stone and additionally a ceramic hob scraper on the wet door. But in order not to get scratches, the door must be really damp or wet, similar to the ceramic hob. To clean the oven with door, I often use a cup of water with a dash of dish soap, I put it on the bottom of the oven, turn it on to 100 degrees Celsius and then let it sit for half an hour. After that, most of it can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth, for heavier deposits the copper cloth with cleaning stone will help again. The cleaning stone is only called that, in fact it is a cleaning paste. Greetings from cologne Andy

​@@BenitaLarsson I am feeling the same here in southwestern Ontario 🇨🇦

This video was so satisfying to watch and I now feel motivated to do my own spring clean. I just use one of those wire wool scrubbies to clean my glass oven door and even the enamelled insides and have not had issue with it scratching but I would not use it on and metal trim. Just maybe try on a small bit incase your oven is different . Oh and If you chop up your magic eraser into small blocks it lasts much longer😊. I've been using the same one for over 2 years as each small block will last me months as I use it as a last resort like you.

Thanks for the tips!

Hi Benita! Thanks for a great video! Did you try your magic sponge on your oven door?

I didn’t since it’s quite abrasive. Might try in a small area🤔
