Homemade Oven Cleaner

The only thing worse than something bubbling over in your oven. Is having to clean it up later. Chemical oven cleaners are harsh, leave a noxious odor in the room, and if not cleaned out properly, they can leave that taste in whatever you bake.

The film they deposit on your oven surface is next to impossible to remove without rinsing repeatedly.  And if they come in contact with your skin oven cleaners can leave a nasty burn.  If these are some of the things you are looking to avoid, I have a few oven cleaning tips for you.

Even self cleaning ovens need to be cleaned sometimes.  But remember never use the self clean feature of your oven with any cleaning compound in it.

1. Basic Scouring Oven Powder

  • Baking Soda
  • Filtered Water

Make a paste of baking soda and water, use as you would any scouring powder to remove grime from oven. Rinse clean with water.

2. Extra Strength Scouring Oven Powder

  • Baking soda
  • Kosher Salt
  • Filtered water or Distilled White Vinegar.

Make a paste of equal amounts baking soda and salt, with a little water or vinegar.  This paste can be applied and let set for 45 minutes to help loosen baked on grime. Scrub with a brush or sponge. Rinse clean with water.

3. Grease lifting Oven Cleaner

  • Baking Soda
  • Dish washing liquid
  • Vinegar

Make a paste using baking soda, a few drops of dish detergent and vinegar, sponge or brush on to greasy messes to loosen and lift them away. Rinse with cool water.

4. Lemon Fresh Oven Cleaner

  • Lemon Juice and Oil from the skin
  • Kosher Salt

Make a paste of the salt and lemon juice, squeeze the rind to release oil into the paste. Apply to oven surface. Allow to sit for several minutes to loosen grime. Scrub clean and rinse well.

A little homemade oven cleaner, a little time, and a little elbow grease and you’ve got a sparkling clean oven, without the chemical smell.
