oven cleaning

How do you clean your oven? 

Ours needs cleaned and I don't want to use a can of chemicals.  It has a self-cleaning feature, where I think it heats up really hot and burns things to dust.  Has anyone done this with their oven?

Re: oven cleaning

  • I use a can of chemicals.

    Our self-cleaning feature didn't knock my socks off the last time we used it, hopefully you have better luck with yours.  I would suggest maybe waiting for a warmer day or Spring time so you can have your windows opened because the smell can be horrendous. 

  • I'm embarrassed to admit we haven't cleaned our oven since we moved in two years ago. Obviously if there is a spill or something we wipe it up with regular kitchen cleaner, but other than that it hasn't been deep cleaned. I would probably opt for the self cleaning feature. I used to use oven cleaner to deep clean my bathtub (it's old and ceramic) and the chemicals were so strong I'd always leave with a buzz.

    I'll put cleaning my oven on my list of things to do....

  • I haven't cleaned our oven that we put in a year and half ago but its on my list for this Spring.  I usually just do the self-clean cycle in the past in our old apartments and with our last stove that we gave to MIL.  I usually have found that the cleaners really bother my asthma but the self-clean feature isn't much better.  I definitely had to open the windows in our apartments when I ran it and it took a while.
  • The self-cleaner worked!  It was a little smoky at first and I think I smell like oven but it worked. There is just a little gray ash at the bottom I need to sweep up when it is cooler.  I hate to admit this is the first time I have really cleaned the oven since we moved in!
