Oven Cleaning over night
For extra heavy-duty oven cleaning jobs, use the following procedure.
Block the vents in the oven floor with waxed paper or aluminum foil, then preheat the oven to 300F for 15 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave the door open.
The following morning, combine the following pre-cleaning mixture in a spray bottle and shake well:
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup vinegar
Spray the oven walls and floor generously, then wipe well. If necessary, use fine steel wool to work off stubborn spots. To remove any residue, rinse several times.
- 1/4 cup water
- 10 drops of essential oil, either sweet orange, lemon or rosemary
Spray the oven walls and floors with the mixture. Then combine the following ingredients and sprinkle the mixture on the particularly greasy areas:
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup salt
- 1/2 cup baking powder
Then combine the following for a paste to be applied to the oven walls:
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup water
- 3/4 cup baking powder
- 1/4 cup of salt
- 2 tsp liquid castile soap
After spreading this paste on the oven walls, remove the waxed paper or aluminum foil from the vents and allow to sit over night.
