I have asthma and can't really use anything other than vinegar, baking soda and dish soap for cleaning. I would never have thought to let this sit over night. I can't wait to try.
That this has over 4 million views tells me that many of us have dirty ovens... and most of us leave it far too long before we tackle it. Your method is as old as the hills, yet so many have forgotten it, and I shall thank you for reminding so many of how easy, cheap and safe is to do without the nasty promoted chemicals. I am ashamed of our main oven, and I was of the smaller one too, however, by simply mixing bicarbonate of soda with either vinegar or water the smaller one is now sparkling. Now, to tackle to big one! Thank you so much for a timely reminder of how easy this is to do.
The reason he uses the bicarbonate of soda (Americans usually say Baking Soda) and vinegar separately is because bicarb is alkaline and vinegar is acidic. Chemically, you're cancelling each other out when mixing them. You're turning them to carbon dioxide, water and salt. Carbon dioxide is a gas, so you're effectively cleaning with salt water
@@baggaz167 Now, that is an interesting point. I have recently used just bicarb and water and left it, and it has worked wonderfully well. It seems that time is a great friend of traditional cleaning, and it is something that people seem to forget as they rush about in our impatient modern lives. Thanks for pointing that out.
Thanks for the tip. Couldn't wait 12 hours. But worked well enough to take off 70% of the grime in about 20 min.. I'm a guy who's impatient. No smells, no toxic oven off. Will repeat next week.
Thank you! I was wondering if you had to wait 12 hours cuz I need to clean my oven for burgers tonight! 😄😋 I'd use the grill, but my ex never cleaned it and well..that's a project for another day! 😆😜
You started out talking about not using the self-cleaning option. There was a pro house cleaner YT channel who told the story of a friend, also a professional house cleaner, who used her employer's self-cleaning option on their oven. It started a fire. The kitchen was starting to be on fire, threatening the entire house of course. She called 911; they told her to unplug the oven -- she couldn't reach plug because of the fire. They told her to pull the fuse to the oven; she didn't know where the fuse box was. Ultimately, the fire trucks arrived and the firemen *axed* their way through the kitchen wall behind the oven and unplugged it. The damage was *THOUSANDS $$$* . Nothing was said, if I remember, but I assume her friend was no longer that family's housecleaner (not that it was her fault, really). Later I bought an induction top/convection range with -- of course -- the self-cleaning option. I wanted an induction top. I wanted a convection oven. I had NO interest in the self-cleaning option and, after four year, _I've NEVER used it_ and NEVER will. I'm just not that nuts.
It's ridiculous to tell a homeowner to unplug the range. That means physically moving it out from its nook, an impossibility for many people. Everyone should know where the breaker panel is located, and the breakers should all be properly labelled. That's easy for me to say, though; as a guy who's done a lot of electrical work in my career as a building systems specialist, I know that this is something usually neglected.
I was a Appliance Service Technician, I always told my customers not to use the self clean feature. 9 out of 10 times the high heat would damage the safety switch and wouldn't allow the door to open. This is the best method I've seen and also the safest.
I had a very bad issue with a self-cleaning oven and we had to buy a new stove, I got one without that feature and I don't miss it. This method works just fine and so you have to just take the time to clean up spills when they happen lol.
Sounds strange that they produce an oven with 90% failire rate and not go out of business. I use self cleaning andhad no issues. Maybe dont leave massove amounts of grease in there
Just an FYI about baking soda and water paste ... it works great for insect bites... when I lived in Colorado Springs, Colorado I was bit by some kind of insect and my foot started itching, swelling, and turning red. I made the baking soda paste, put it all over the affected area and within a few minutes, the itching, swelling and redness went away. I am sure it would be good for mosquitoes as well, just thought I would share that tip here for whoever needs it! 😊😊😊😊
I think it absorbs things, it is also great for removing odors from carpets or other things... I used it on a iron cast pan to remove fishy smell cause i didnt clean the oils off right after using it 😂 Edit: way better to just blast the pan with heat it will burn everything away XD
The more you know 👍🏼! I’ll be trying this the next time I’m bitten by a mosquito.. I’m one of those lucky 🙄 people who can be in a crowd, & I’ll be the only one bitten 🤦🏻♀️😂!!!
I sprinkle table salt on the spills/drips in my oven as soon as I remove the baked item. The salt will dry it up and make it brittle. The next day, I can vacuum up the crumbles from the bottom of the oven. No mess! Works well if something has boiled over in the oven and is burning and smoking too.. Just smother the geew in salt and keep on baking.
@@jillhensley4919 "When common salt is heated the white crystalline solid power remains as it is. Common salt is a crystalline compound. It contains Sodium and Chlorine ions fixed and bonded strongly within a crystalline structure. The ions do not move. The heat does not do anything, as their bonds are strong."
Oh man i love this. So easy! I have severe asthma and can't use harsh chemicals for cleaning anything because it triggers an attack. Plus I just don't like using harsh chemicals because I have kids and don't feel comfortable putting chemicals in an oven or anywhere where food is. This method is super easy and safe, I love it! I sware the best things that you can use to clean anything in your house that are non toxic and not full of mystery chemicals is baking soda, white vinegar, dish soap, water, and a little lemon if you want it to smell good.
Thank you! Nicely done! Just cleaned my oven with all your techniques watching your video. It worked amazing, but it was exhausting doing it. It's a lot of work depending on how long you haven't cleaned it, but it's totally worth it in the end. Looks outstanding. I can't get over it. Knock it out, guys!
HOT TIP for this job - take the oven door off! Most oven doors pop right off. Our GE oven door lifts right off. Taking the door off makes cleaning the oven much easier. Also, if you leave the door on while cleaning you will most likely lean on it and damage the hinges. Our housecleaning did just that because she did not know the door could be removed. The hinges got bent and the door would not close properly, no repair guy could fix it and the hinges were out of stock - disaster. TAKE THE DOOR OFF before you start cleaning the oven.
If your oven isn't quite so dirty, you might try what I use. Boil a tea kettle of water. Pour the water into a large baking pan set onto the lower rack. Close the door and leave it until the water cools. The steam will loosen any smaller grease splatters and you can just wipe them up with a damp sponge or cloth. (Ha! I just typed that as sloth! Appropriate for MY cleaning style, anyway.) Happy cleaning!
I've got a newish oven which is only slightly dirty. Gonna give this a try. If this works for me, my feeling is, should i do it regularly enough i'll never have to do heavy duty cleaning. My cleaning style being quickest, easiest, least expensive yet effective way possible! Thanks!
Love the safe cleaning products! I bought a silicone oven liner that I put in the bottom of the oven. They cost about $8-10; just do a quick internet search. Every now and then, I take it out and rinse it off. It helps keep the oven clean.
I wouldn't trust the "silicone" crap. Just like teflon pans. Many don't know the dangers of those nasty things that we have all been using for decades.
You inspired me to do this today. I didn't even wait the 24 hours. I checked it in about 4 hours and it seemed ready to go. I'd been putting this job off for so long, and now it's done and looks beautiful. All ready for the holidays! Thank you!
I used the self- clean feature once. I thought it was great that it just used water but the heat was scary...not a fan. Can't wait to try this instead of the 'fume-free" chemical cleaner.
No need to wait 12 hours, once you have coated the oven in backing soda, just spray the vinegar on the baking soda and leave a few hours, sometimes you get better results just putting baking soda on the oven without making a paste with water and then spraying vinegar on the baking soda. Give it a try with a paste or without a paste, just plain baking soda, and spray vinegar. Baking soda and vinegar can help unblock a kitchen sink drain also.
Baking soda (8.3 pH) neutralizes the acid in the vinegar (@ 2-3 pH) so there is NO POINT in mixing the two... ever. In fact, the vinegar "rinse" that you're suggesting is completely unnecessary and ludicrous.
That's a fantastic topic for a video! Using natural methods to clean an oven is not only environmentally friendly but also safer for your health. It's great to see more people embracing such eco-friendly cleaning techniques. It's impressive how effective simple household items can be in tackling tough grime and stains, all while keeping the air in your home free from harsh chemicals. Great choice for learning something new and sustainable! 🌿✨
May I make a suggestion. Looking at your door hinges you have the type that easily allows for the door to be removed. This not only allows you to get at the oven more easily, but you can you put the door on your counter (with some paper etc underneath of cause). It's then easier to clean without bending over. Plus, you can then clean around the edges of the oven and hard to get at places. Hope this helps. Thanks for the video.
It doesn't help. How long do you think he has to be "bent over" and why do you think bending over is a bad thing? Are you morbidly obese? Then taking off the door is just a needless step because it's harder to do than just cleaning the door in place. Yeah... wouldn't want people to use their bodies like they're intended to be used. Ugh
My oven door slides right off (no tools involved) and makes it so much easier to reach the back of my oven for those splattered baked dishes. Why not make things easier on yourself and the cleaning process a lot faster? Baking soda has so many different uses!!
here's a little tip I've been doing for over 30 yrs: take a piece of foil the width of your over bottom and place it under your racks to catch the spills, when it gets dirty, throw it away and replace with a clean sheet. Saves on the scrubbing the burned on gunk.
I’m 66 years old and have always put foil on the bottom of any oven I’ve ever had. When I moved into this house I put a piece of foil on the bottom and the first time I baked in it the foil melted onto the oven floor and I cannot remove it. It is completely melted onto the metal. New oven and I’ve ruined the look of it. I read afterwards the aluminum foil has changed somehow and I wasn’t supposed to use it like that. Just a warning to people. I guess foil isn’t what it used to be😅
@@ritaC345 I believe this as years ago I used to use foil also and it was fine in either gas or electric. But in recent years I've noticed when you cover for example a casserole dish with foil, and if the food touches it at all, it gets black spots, and actually drops bits of foil onto your food. Now if I want to cover a dish I put a sheet of parchment paper between the food and the foil so the foil never touches the food.
My electric oven has a steam clean cycle. Has anyone ever used theirs? I haven’t used it yet. Also, with the new ovens you can’t put foil on the bottom. I put it on the bottom rack instead. Is this used for the oven racks also. I used to put mine in a large trash bag and put a bottle of ammonia in it, tie it up and put it outside overnight. The next day you can just take a dry paper towel and the grease comes off.
I'm trying it now. I was told years ago by an appliance repairman not to use the self cleaning feature. He said it shortens the life of the oven, besides the other dangers of such high heat. I will let you know how it turns out! 👍🏻
I love it. Done it before and works Good. Just like I do my windows. Use no chemicals and my windows stay clean gir a long time I wash them in spring, band in the fall and they stay sparkly clean with just a spray it water to wash the dust off. (This is West Texas, all that wind and dust)
This video is so timely for me as just last night I realized I have to clean my oven but was dreading it! Now I know how to do it without being exposed to noxious fumes from toxic products!! Thank you so very much! Cheers!
Great video with presentation and NO harsh chemicals or poisonous fumes ! I like how the paste seeps into every crevice and space you wouldn’t be able to get to with other cleaning agents. Let’s face it….cleaning out your oven is a stinky, gross task but this really makes it easy and not hazardous with horrible toxic fumes. Thanks so much !
Now that your oven is clean you can buy an oven mat..it catches the drips from any food that you're baking..I love it..I purchased mine from Lowes..makes clean up even easier..great video..thanks for sharing.
Thank you SO much for this video and I am relieved to know that I am not the only one who is terrified of the self clean feature! I have tried baking soda and vinegar before, but never the overnight paste. It worked like a charm! I never would have believed it if I hadn't seen how dirty your oven was lol it gave me hope to get rid of some stubborn messes! A++++ thank you
I tried your formula with baking soda and pasted the entire inside after 20 yrs, a little scrubbing and it is absolutely amazing, looks like I bought it yesterday, absolutely immaculate!!! Will use this method on everything!!! Great video!!! If I only knew how to show the results on RUclips I would 😊
Yes! This can always be YOUR job you do it so well! I use vinegar dawn dish soap and water in a spray bottle to clean almost everything! But baking soda for baked on gunk is awesome! Buy the big box of baking soda you can sprinkle it on carpets to deodorize carpets too! It’s all so great to use for upset stomach 1/4 tsp in a glass of warm water will help it! AND use warm water and baking soda and a little table salt for a sore throat gargle, the hotter the water the better. It’s a temporary fix but it does help! My grandmother always used it for us as kids. I had the best Grandma ever! 💕
I was told to use baking soda mixed with water by a housekeeper I met in a store. Worked great, but thank you for the extra info about the vinegar spray. I'm going to give it a shot after the initial cleaning now!
⭐️ Thank you. I totally agree about the risks of superheating an appliance in the home; maybe some exceptions depending on the stove, house, cabinetry layout, and their ages. Good point about not wanting particles/fumes cooking with your food. I also like leaving a natural solution to sit overnight instead of needing to force the chore to be done in a few hours with less effective results. Patience. Wax on. Wax off. 🙏
You can also spray some of that vinegar on the baking soda if you have a really baked-in spill. It bubbles up and really lifts that crud out with a bit of elbow grease on your part. And then of course, use the vinegar as you did for the finishing step.
Mixing the two -- one a base, the other an acid -- essentially cancels the power of each out. "According to Amanda Morris, associate chair of the chemistry department at Virginia Tech University, baking soda and vinegar basically cancel each other out when they’re mixed - unless you use them the right way, in the right time frame." While the bubbling reaction that occurs when they are first mixed might help dislodged some grease, it's no more effective than using a baking soda + water paste mixture. Don't waste your vinegar mixing it with baking soda. Save it to use on its own.
As someone who is in their early 20s, just started renting my own place, and has never cleaned a second hand oven before thank you. This makes my life so much easier
Baking soda is Sodium Bicarbonate and vinegar is Acetic Acid, so you are using chemicals to clean the oven. They are just more common daily use chemicals. If you want faster results, you can cover the baking soda paste with plastic wrapping film to minimize water evaporation and keep the mix moist and active for longer.
Spraying vinegar on the dry baking soda makes it like scrubbing bubbles and helps lift the grime. Baking soda sitting for a long time eats through the crusty stuff and loosens it, but sometimes I have needed a scratchy pad to really remove the harder baked on level. Works for burned pots and pans too. Makes them nice and shinney.
For burned pans, take a scoop of laundry powder and place in the pan. Cover the burn part with cold water and bring to the boil. Turn off the heat and put the pan lid on. Leave for a few. hours or overnight. Pour the water away and the burned things should come off easily. It might need a little help with a pan scourer or brush.
@@PsychicPsal1742 Mixing vinegar with baking soda does nothing but make pretty bubbles/foam. Sodium bicarbonate plus acetic acid = water, CO2, and sodium acetate. sodium acetate is a flavoring, not a cleaner.

This has been a blessing for long years.. great for coffee glass shine.. bathroom fabulous. . Floors.. refrigerators wash not just for order.. and no chemicals that give side effects 🙄
@@nonagibbons2764 Whenever I was new clothes with bright colors for the first time I add 1 cup of white vinegar to the wash cycle. It locks the colors in and they won’t fade or bleed onto other clothes.
I almost wanted to pay $80 for a professional cleaning company to clean my oven with chemical products. But after watching your video, I think I can do this on my own! Looks pretty straightforward
I kept dragging my feet on cleaning my oven because of the smell of commercial cleaner. This takes a tiny bit more work, but the oven sparkles and NO harsh chemicals to breathe.
@@BaeLasso The commercial sprays have harsh chemicals. The whole point of the video was to use products (baking soda and vinegar) that work and are less toxic and, quite frankly, less expensive. If you want to use the commercial spray, do it, but don't be dumping on people who are looking for alternatives.
I cover the bottom of my oven with foil. I just have too change the tin foil when it gets soiled. I never clean my oven. Been years. Like your videos . I do use vinegar and water in a small jar with holes poked in the lid. Start the microwave and put on for about 5 minutes or till you see the water steam comes out of the holes in the lid .. Leave the jar sit for 20 minutes or till it has cooled down. Works great too clean Microwave. Wipe down. Your done. Thank you for showing your video. God Bless.
It depends on the oven you have. I bought a Neff oven last year and apparently, because there is heating element at the bottom of the oven, it is not advisable to put anything on the bottom of the oven.
@R MS i was waiting for him to show me how to clean the sides and top. I have cleaned my oven with bicarb paste but it all falls off the top as it doesn't stick too well.
@@jillorton3004 Spray the oven with Easyoff for the night and you will see how everything will come off from the walls nicely. I always put around the paper so nothing not to leek the broiler. There is nothing to play with BS. Later, wash the water with dish soap and it will be sparkling like new.. I know that the sides and up part of the oven is the most difficult to clean. But I was even pregnant so bent down and cleaned. In addition, there is often a cable for the thermostat on the top and it can be damaged. Only be careful.
My tenants moved out and left the oven very greasy and baked on! I am so glad I came across your video ! I going to try it and hopefully it will look like your oven! Thanks for sharing!!!!😊
Thank you for making this look less intimidating for me! I’ve been dreading cleaning the oven for so long but it’s time and I think I’m actually looking forward it now 😆
@@KayJ-cv5iq It did take me longer than I had hoped and it only took off the surface stains. The older black stains still remain as. I still prefer baking soda to using stronger cleaning agents though.
I live in a retirement village in Australia, I no longer use my full-sized oven and I wanted to have it clean as possible. I have an Air-fryer oven that will do as much as my full-sized oven, it bakes, grills, toast, and bakes and will take a good-sized roast or chook. This video will allow me to keep in control of what I can bake, and roast .etc and will allow me to keep it clean
@@chloegrl1366 Yes I am not so much retired as I am just so busy these days, what with pottery, committee meetings, and running our op-shop (welfare shop)there is not much else in the week to laze around in, I also cook for my son and I do know just how much he appreciates this. It also cuts down costs.
I have an air fryer as well, I haven’t turn my oven on in over a year, I’ve cleaned it and left it. Shaving cream or gel on the glass door of the oven, works really well 😉
The vinegar cuts grease, but it also turns any baking soda left into water and CO2 or carbon dioxide ( which is what we exhale). There is some sodium acetate left, but it burns off at 380’ F and turns into CO2 and something else innocuous. So this way of cleaning a stove is perfect! :)🌷🌱
Hi! I did the baking soda paste and cleaned my oven. Some of the paste are stuck in crevices I can't get too. Should I just spray it with vinegar or is it safe to turn the oven on? Thank you!
That suhoulr not be a problem. If you've ever made a "volcano" with baking soda and vinegar.. the vinegar will make the baking soda fizz up. Or you can try spraying with water first --- maybe an old toothbrush will help get it out --just like in the part where you are wiping off the leftover baking soda paste. Warm water might be best. But either way it's safe to use.@@princessducky
That works OK on stains that are not old or crusty. Cleaned a stove with it and spent a lot of energy scrubbing and it cleaned it half way. Got some over clenaer and it took EVERYTHING off with ease. Use the oven cleaner.
My daughter said scrunch up foil and use it to scrub....but it takes a lot of elbow grease...Dawn dish washing helps too. But Im 70...Im cant reach some places.
You’re absolutely correct about the self cleaning oven feature-the self clean cycle raises the temperature of the oven so high it’s like an inferno waiting to happen. I did it once and all the adjacent wood cabinets were about to self combust. Aside from the stifling heat given off a strong oil odor from the oven lasted throughout my condo for months. I’ll be using baking soda and white vinegar conservatively
I used the self clean on a former stove I had. the next time I went to turn it on, it wouldn't work at all.so there went that. beautiful stove, I loved it. it wasn't old either.
Excellent demo. As a retired Telephone Lineman who enjoys cooking this is great. I purchased my new oven 2 years ago and I’ve put off cleaning my oven. You make it look simple and easy. Thank you.
After putting the baking soda on if you spray heavy with white vinegar, it will cause a chemical reaction and the baked on crud will come off quicker. You can also use this around the top of the stove burners to clean around them.
A tried and true method for oven cleaning. Takes a bit of "elbow grease", but well worth the results. I always fear running the self-cleaning oven. Afraid of burning my house to the ground. Uses a tremendous amount of power as well. Thanks for showing everyone how easy and safe it is to clean!😀❤️
It was wonderful, especially on the racks whose built up nasties I had been unable to remove with harsh chemicals. And not having to worry about those chemicals afterwards was sheer bliss! Thank you!
@@JustMe-cr6rd I put the racks in the tub fill with water just enough to cover them and sprinkle about a half cup of baking soda on top . Leave for a few hours and then wipe off the residue. Use more baking soda on your cloth as you are cleaning for tough spots.
This is the info I always wanted to find. Easy, cost effective and odor free. So happy to know this. As my mother used to say: "the proof is in the pudding"! 👏
Thank you for this informative vog. I too have used my self cleaning heat once, and was so scared, as everything around the oven got sooo hot! I totally agree with you, that this is the best way. Love to you all from Devon, England. xxx
Heard of using baking soda before but never tried it. I suppose I was sceptical, but actually seeing it done has convinced me to try it so when I go shopping it’s the first thing on the list lol. I really appreciate you taking the time to share this and demonstrate it also. Great results, thank you 🙏🏻 I will let you know how it goes next week 👍🏻🤞🏻
Baking soda an vinegar are a staple in our house,,great for bath tubs an pottys too, pour baking soda then ad vinegar on top an use a long handle brush for potty 15min. scrub then flush. all done an good for drains too...same in tub.,use shower to rinse..it will bubble up ...I use a wash cloth to go around tub ring, an it's easy. A brush is amazing..one for EACH appliance.fresh an easy. the brushes at $ dollar store are GREAT-(I call um my cheap thrills.... 🤣🤣
I keep baking soda under every sink. It is good for odors. When I managed a convenience store we had a milk leak that went behind the walls. NOTHING got rid of the smell until I used baking soda! True story.
This was wonderful! Since i don't have much time, I can do a small portion every night and clean it up in the morning as part of my kitchen routine. Thank you so very much!
This video is absolutely amazing and I now know how to clean my oven without harsh chemicals. I don't clean it as often as I should because of the chemicals, not that it's real nasty from food spillage, however, it can now be cleaned so much better. Thanks to you Sir, that is over!
After putting the baking soda on if you spray heavy with white vinegar, it will cause a chemical reaction and the baked on crud will come off quicker. You can also use this around the top of the stove burners to clean around them.
Great job. No harsh chemicals and no using the self-cleaning feature too. Our technician told us the self-cleaning function can hugely impact the lifespan of a stove. Certain parts wear out quickly as most ovens aren’t meant to stay at 600 degrees Fahrenheit, for such a long time. In addition, the video already pointed out what can go wrong in its malfunction. Very impressive cleaning job!
Great tip...especially the Brewskis or two. You might have covered floor in front of oven with a couple old towels or something to protect floors. Recently bought oven drip protectors....but DID NOT use them for fear of high heat creating harmful gases. Good job...thanks for sharing.
An option i added to this (For Really Grubby Ovens) is the same but AFTER applying the paste, turn the oven on low for an hour or so allow the baked on fat to absorb into the BiCarb Soda, when cool continue as in this video... for the grubby shelves fill a bath or, if you have a large enough laundry tub or other.. fill with laundry powder and BiCarb soda and HOT water as hot as you can get it... leave to soak a few hours or overnight and the gunk will come off much easier.. had to clean a mate's place for him.. he loved to bake Roasts, but had teenagers and a mum w dementia and studying Law, so you can imagine little time for cleaning (hence the reason i was there as paid help) anyways as most of us HATE cleaning ovens (even moreso someone else's very grubby one) i was looking for solutions to the usual 'toxic' oven cleaners.. I'm not a paid help now he's done his Law studies and his mum has passed the children mostly grown up now.. i hope he learned a few tricks but i doubt, he'll probs just find paid help...
By looking at this sorts of video using vinegar and bicarbonate of soda I ruined the my cooker grill and have stains in the stainless steel boarder on my oven door .
Excellent demo. Here's a tip for getting the baked off grease on the inside glass. Before you use the vinegar on it, take a window scraping tool, the kind with a shaving razor blade in it, and scrape off the baked on grease. Then go over it with the vinegar.
@@janeforever I use the cooking vinegar for cleaning for the very reason that it is milder than the cleaning one (less potent and acidic and eco friendly). It works just fine.
I appreciated hearing about your experience using the self-clean mode. I've never used mine and after what you shared I doubt I ever will. **Great** video. Very helpful watching your technique using the baking soda and white vinegar.
This isn't the first time I've heard a horror story relating to self cleaning ovens. Someone else said the oven caught fire and they had to use a fire extinguisher . I'm surprised the goverment hasn't banned the feature out right already. It's really not safe.
Put your paste on..then spray it down with the vinegar..then put plastic wrap to cover the whole thing..4 hours later pull the plastic wrap and all your gunk will come off
That baking soda and water paste is also a fantastic cleaner for getting stubborn tea/coffee stains off of your favorite ceramic mug. It's a mild abrasive so it removes the staining without dulling the glazing much. I'll have to give this a shot, I hate oven cleaner and the one time I used the self cleaning feature of the stove it lifted the arborite beside the stove. Way too hot for comfort.
It takes a tremendous amount of scrubbing and trying to get all the baking soda off! He only shows doing the bottom - not the sides and racks. I tried this, and it has been a week that I keep working away at it. The baking soda gets into places it shouldn't go and it is impossible to get it out. It is really difficult to get everything cleaned up - I still have a ways to go. Not my idea of an easy solution. I think just using it on specific spots might be helpful.
Oh My, Thank you. I just came across this video and I have been putting this job off for a long time. I do keep a silicone mat always on my bottom rack but I need to attack the door, bottom and sides in the worst way. Note: for the racks I take and place in a Contractor Heavy Duty Bag and place paper towels on each rack and then use ammonia poured and secure the bag I use lemon and of course outside. Tie the Bag for a couple of hours and then take your gloves and a little scrubby with your hose and clean. Grim and grease comes right off. I need to season my new cast Iron and have been putting it off till I did this chore. Thanks Again.
I add, straight baking soda on the appliances and pots,pans,window sealsliding doors etc... and also spray vinegar on top> it fizzes all the dirt,loosens the dirt and> I just wipe it down!> No scrubbing depending on how much it was,but really,it's easier than leaving a paste overnight and scrubbing it with a spatula!> You learn something new everyday!❤
I had been doing similar things with baking soda and vinegar until I recently discovered a new technique. I put a yeast dough in the oven to rise with a bowl of boiled water beneath to warm the oven. When the dough proofed I found that a lot of the oils and baked on materials left on oven surfaces had liquified and I only had to wipe up the drippings. I still use baking soda on stubborn spots but a bowl of boiled water left in a closed oven for an hour or two makes the job so much easier.
I did it and it was perfect. Not my favorite job to do but it really got the glass clean of the baked on brown grease. I shared this with a friend who complained she could not get it clean . Thanks for sharing
Place a sheet of tin foil in base of big plastic container,lay all stainless steel oven parts on top then cover with soda crystals,cover with boiling water and watch the magic happen,this is also brilliant for cleaning sterling silver jewellery,the dirt just drops off
Wow, so glad that I landed on your video! What you said about using the self-cleaning cycle---that's exactly why I've never used it on mine! I've heard horror stories like that and I'm afraid of it. I've been using baking soda to clean my oven, but never left it on long enough. I was simply sprinkling it in, then spritzing with white vinegar (so cool to watch it bubble up), then trying to scrub the grunge out, which only partially worked. I'm anxious to try your method and hope it works on my filthy oven and the glass door (so dirty that I can hardly see thru it! lol) Thanks for this hot cleaning tip, Mr. Hotty....err, I mean Mr. Gizmo.
"the only bald guy you need to make this, is me" truer words have never been spoken! you're the real mr. clean! thanks for this video. im watching as a first time homeowner, having moved in 3 months ago. i figured today was the day to clean!
In 20 years, I have used the self cleaning feature on my GE oven more than a dozen times, and NEVER had a problem with it catching my cabinets on fire or even coming close to doing this. And the oven works fine.
Old GE ovens are tanks and they work well. I had one too, a Monogram. Newer ovens are built cheaper. Today’s service techs will advise you against using the self clean as it will shorten the life of your oven. Things aren’t built the way they used to be, unfortunately.
I used the self clean...for a few minutes. The BOOM was frightening followed by a fireball. My loyal, loving cats who never want to leave my side..bolted outside in a rush, leaving me to deal with the inferno. Thanks for your help Cats, I will know who NOT to count on in the next emergency! Much better to use this method than the self cleaner !
I use baking soda and white vinegar. Put down the baking soda and pour white vinegar on (either with a spray or pour it on carefully). It will bubble up and within 15 mins the worst dirt and grime will come off! Quick and easy. Works every time!
To make it even easier on yourself, buy the oven protectors, cut to size to cover the base of your oven, and the same for the oven racks. It certainly makes oven cleaning that much easier 🤣 On a side note, I’m a male🙂 and would never ever let my wife of 46 years clean the oven, I always felt it’s a man’s job 😂
You're wrong on two things. That oven protector "thingy" is jot meat for oven bottoms and become a fire hazard if use as such. Two, it's not a man's job. My job as a man is to get home, have a drink ready. Eat food. Have seggs. Go out with the boys. Have seggs (not with the boys obs). Go back home. Have seggs. Sleep. Wake up to a warm breakfast to soak the alcohol I've had the previous night.
Hi DEON FROM UK I took the exact same principle as you said with the baking soda and water except I took the trays correction the racks from the oven cover them in baking soda and water and put them in swing bin containers plastic bags for 24 hours . When they came out I just rinsed them in the bathroom as they’re quite big too big to go in the kitchen sink they came out like brand-new 😁😁😁😁
Best tip ever, fill the bath tub with super hot water and powdered dishwasher soap. Put the racks in there for as long as you can…. Few hours. They come out like new with zero elbow grease. It works so well. Life changing. PS do not do this to your stove fan filters. It ruined mine.
How much powdered dishwasher soap did you use? Also, how long did you soak the racks? Do u fill the tub just enough so the water covers the racks completely and no more?
Great job. Just needs a little more spray vinegar and leave overnight and no scrubbing cause the vinegar on top of baking soda eats the burned on food.
@@lianam3262 No mystery at all. He named three ingredients needed to clean the oven: baking soda, water, and vinegar. Apply the baking soda with water to form paste to dissolve the grease, then follow with vinegar for additional cleaning, sanitizing, and shine.
@@lianam3262 What mystery? It seemed that you just can't understand simple English! He said baking soda, water, and then said vinegar in a spray bottle. He also showed mixing the baking soda with water.
All I can say is that if you have a self-cleaning oven, don't leave it unattended. I set mine to self-clean once and it caught on fire. I had to call the fire department. My house would have burned down if I wasn't home. I had to buy a new one but I was just glad that I avoided a disaster.
Tell the whole story. How old, what condition was the oven in, and how neglected was the clean condition of the oven before you turned on the cleaning? A perfectly good unit will not do that.
@@michaelcrocco4021 This happened in the late 90's so I can't remember the make but it was moderately dirty because I was a careful cooker. Plus, it was only a few years old. Now that you asked me this, I realize I should have contacted the manufacturer and complained
@@gerardinecizmar Hi Gerardine, I hope that you did not take offense to my post. Wasn't trying to be mean just being realistic. I spent 40 years in the service industry and believe me I've seen some crazy things go on in peoples homes. Most of the issues were either neglect or misuse.
You put it on and leave bbn it on. Make sure windows are open. Why do you buy self CV cleaning if you dont plan on using its feature? Yes, it bbn would burn grease. But that would lm d happen if you bake in any dirty oven that hasn't been cleaned in 0 years. You break as k a selfcleanimg oven by cleaning it manually
Same here, but 11 years for me. A friend had her oven door glass shatter the first time she used her self clean, so I'm not willing to even try it. I don't use my oven often, and don't eat meat, so no big grease issues. Needs cleaning by now obviously, so I'm going to try this method.
A very nice video. I didn't read nearly all of the comments - so don't know if anyone else mentioned this - but you might have mentioned that you could stop the self-cleaning cycle by flipping the breaker (at least for an electric stove).
That is a great tip!!!! I guess that is where common sense comes in. Many people have no common sense these days. My common sense eluded me on this one. lol

![The Best Way to Clean a Dirty Oven [Before and After]](/img/tr.png)
I have asthma and can't really use anything other than vinegar, baking soda and dish soap for cleaning. I would never have thought to let this sit over night. I can't wait to try.
That’s the cleanest dirty oven I’ve seen!!
😂😂😂
Mine tops that one! 😂
That this has over 4 million views tells me that many of us have dirty ovens... and most of us leave it far too long before we tackle it. Your method is as old as the hills, yet so many have forgotten it, and I shall thank you for reminding so many of how easy, cheap and safe is to do without the nasty promoted chemicals. I am ashamed of our main oven, and I was of the smaller one too, however, by simply mixing bicarbonate of soda with either vinegar or water the smaller one is now sparkling. Now, to tackle to big one!
Thank you so much for a timely reminder of how easy this is to do.
The Old Timers cleaning method.
Or our child😂😂
The reason he uses the bicarbonate of soda (Americans usually say Baking Soda) and vinegar separately is because bicarb is alkaline and vinegar is acidic. Chemically, you're cancelling each other out when mixing them. You're turning them to carbon dioxide, water and salt. Carbon dioxide is a gas, so you're effectively cleaning with salt water
@@baggaz167 Now, that is an interesting point. I have recently used just bicarb and water and left it, and it has worked wonderfully well. It seems that time is a great friend of traditional cleaning, and it is something that people seem to forget as they rush about in our impatient modern lives. Thanks for pointing that out.
No. Don't mix with vinegar. They cancel each other out
Thanks for the tip. Couldn't wait 12 hours. But worked well enough to take off 70% of the grime in about 20 min.. I'm a guy who's impatient. No smells, no toxic oven off. Will repeat next week.
Thank you! I was wondering if you had to wait 12 hours cuz I need to clean my oven for burgers tonight! 😄😋 I'd use the grill, but my ex never cleaned it and well..that's a project for another day! 😆😜
What an awesome go-getter attitude!!! 👍
Thanks so much for the healthy way to clean the oven, my oven has foil wrap stuck at the bottom, I hope that I can get it off
You started out talking about not using the self-cleaning option. There was a pro house cleaner YT channel who told the story of a friend, also a professional house cleaner, who used her employer's self-cleaning option on their oven. It started a fire. The kitchen was starting to be on fire, threatening the entire house of course. She called 911; they told her to unplug the oven -- she couldn't reach plug because of the fire. They told her to pull the fuse to the oven; she didn't know where the fuse box was. Ultimately, the fire trucks arrived and the firemen *axed* their way through the kitchen wall behind the oven and unplugged it. The damage was *THOUSANDS $$$* . Nothing was said, if I remember, but I assume her friend was no longer that family's housecleaner (not that it was her fault, really).
Later I bought an induction top/convection range with -- of course -- the self-cleaning option. I wanted an induction top. I wanted a convection oven. I had NO interest in the self-cleaning option and, after four year, _I've NEVER used it_ and NEVER will. I'm just not that nuts.
Wow - crazy story - I never like the self cleaning because of my fear of that situation.
Your not supposed to wait a long time between cleaning@MrGizmo211
It's ridiculous to tell a homeowner to unplug the range. That means physically moving it out from its nook, an impossibility for many people. Everyone should know where the breaker panel is located, and the breakers should all be properly labelled. That's easy for me to say, though; as a guy who's done a lot of electrical work in my career as a building systems specialist, I know that this is something usually neglected.
I was a Appliance Service Technician, I always told my customers not to use the self clean feature. 9 out of 10 times the high heat would damage the safety switch and wouldn't allow the door to open. This is the best method I've seen and also the safest.
Thank you.
My oven did lock on me
I had a very bad issue with a self-cleaning oven and we had to buy a new stove, I got one without that feature and I don't miss it. This method works just fine and so you have to just take the time to clean up spills when they happen lol.
Sounds strange that they produce an oven with 90% failire rate and not go out of business. I use self cleaning andhad no issues. Maybe dont leave massove amounts of grease in there
@@sza2bom using the self clean can cumulatively damage the wires causing earlier than expected failure.
Just an FYI about baking soda and water paste ... it works great for insect bites... when I lived in Colorado Springs, Colorado I was bit by some kind of insect and my foot started itching, swelling, and turning red. I made the baking soda paste, put it all over the affected area and within a few minutes, the itching, swelling and redness went away. I am sure it would be good for mosquitoes as well, just thought I would share that tip here for whoever needs it! 😊😊😊😊
I think it absorbs things, it is also great for removing odors from carpets or other things... I used it on a iron cast pan to remove fishy smell cause i didnt clean the oils off right after using it 😂
Edit: way better to just blast the pan with heat it will burn everything away XD
Yep, mosquitos love my daughter, and the best thing we found to stop the itch for her was baking soda paste.
The more you know 👍🏼!
I’ll be trying this the next time I’m bitten by a mosquito.. I’m one of those lucky 🙄 people who can be in a crowd, & I’ll be the only one bitten 🤦🏻♀️😂!!!
Is Colorado Sorings especially prone to mosquitoes?
thank you for this
You’re the real life mr. Clean
Johnny sins
I sprinkle table salt on the spills/drips in my oven as soon as I remove the baked item. The salt will dry it up and make it brittle. The next day, I can vacuum up the crumbles from the bottom of the oven. No mess!
Works well if something has boiled over in the oven and is burning and smoking too.. Just smother the geew in salt and keep on baking.
Thxs!!
📝 😊me taking notes! Thank you!!
Just a note. Burning salt fumes are toxic.
@@jillhensley4919
"When common salt is heated the white crystalline solid power remains as it is. Common salt is a crystalline compound. It contains Sodium and Chlorine ions fixed and bonded strongly within a crystalline structure. The ions do not move. The heat does not do anything, as their bonds are strong."
Wipe with lemon juice water after all cleaned.
Best part about watching this video is seeing a man do the job 😂
Oh yes!
Ha. Yes - pretty cute too.
Fabulous. Thanks.
😅 nothing sexier then a man cleaning 😅
😅
Oh man i love this. So easy! I have severe asthma and can't use harsh chemicals for cleaning anything because it triggers an attack. Plus I just don't like using harsh chemicals because I have kids and don't feel comfortable putting chemicals in an oven or anywhere where food is. This method is super easy and safe, I love it!
I sware the best things that you can use to clean anything in your house that are non toxic and not full of mystery chemicals is baking soda, white vinegar, dish soap, water, and a little lemon if you want it to smell good.
Great 👍🏽 I’m Cancer survivor always looking for natural products to clean with. Thanks so much Cynthia.
Thank you! Nicely done! Just cleaned my oven with all your techniques watching your video. It worked amazing, but it was exhausting doing it. It's a lot of work depending on how long you haven't cleaned it, but it's totally worth it in the end. Looks outstanding. I can't get over it. Knock it out, guys!
HOT TIP for this job - take the oven door off! Most oven doors pop right off. Our GE oven door lifts right off. Taking the door off makes cleaning the oven much easier. Also, if you leave the door on while cleaning you will most likely lean on it and damage the hinges. Our housecleaning did just that because she did not know the door could be removed. The hinges got bent and the door would not close properly, no repair guy could fix it and the hinges were out of stock - disaster. TAKE THE DOOR OFF before you start cleaning the oven.
If your oven isn't quite so dirty, you might try what I use. Boil a tea kettle of water. Pour the water into a large baking pan set onto the lower rack. Close the door and leave it until the water cools. The steam will loosen any smaller grease splatters and you can just wipe them up with a damp sponge or cloth. (Ha! I just typed that as sloth! Appropriate for MY cleaning style, anyway.) Happy cleaning!
This also works for microwave ovens.
I'm going to give this a try! Thanks for the tip 🙂
I've got a newish oven which is only slightly dirty. Gonna give this a try. If this works for me, my feeling is, should i do it regularly enough i'll never have to do heavy duty cleaning. My cleaning style being quickest, easiest, least expensive yet effective way possible! Thanks!
I can’t believe people are so ignorant. Baking soda and vinegar does work
Good tip. I also clean my oven with a damp sloth...
Love the safe cleaning products! I bought a silicone oven liner that I put in the bottom of the oven. They cost about $8-10; just do a quick internet search.
Every now and then, I take it out and rinse it off. It helps keep the oven clean.
Great idea -
I wouldn't trust the "silicone" crap. Just like teflon pans. Many don't know the dangers of those nasty things that we have all been using for decades.
You inspired me to do this today. I didn't even wait the 24 hours. I checked it in about 4 hours and it seemed ready to go. I'd been putting this job off for so long, and now it's done and looks beautiful. All ready for the holidays! Thank you!
Nice and clean :)!!
How often is everybody doing this? Thats the real question.
@@terrafinlay630 Ha! Not often
And here i am 48 hours in and no time to finish cleaning in sight.
We really do procrastinate with cleaning the oven! 😄🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
This man is a 100% correct on everything!!! From the self cleaning oven and the use of baking soda!!! SPEAK!!!!!
And the beer for a job well done
I used the self- clean feature once. I thought it was great that it just used water but the heat was scary...not a fan. Can't wait to try this instead of the 'fume-free" chemical cleaner.
No need to wait 12 hours, once you have coated the oven in backing soda, just spray the vinegar on the baking soda and leave a few hours, sometimes you get better results just putting baking soda on the oven without making a paste with water and then spraying vinegar on the baking soda. Give it a try with a paste or without a paste, just plain baking soda, and spray vinegar. Baking soda and vinegar can help unblock a kitchen sink drain also.
My oven my be extra dirty because the paste method did not work for me. I'll try your way next. Thanks!
That's what I usually do.
Thank you
The old ways are the bestv
Baking soda (8.3 pH) neutralizes the acid in the vinegar (@ 2-3 pH) so there is NO POINT in mixing the two... ever. In fact, the vinegar "rinse" that you're suggesting is completely unnecessary and ludicrous.
That's a fantastic topic for a video! Using natural methods to clean an oven is not only environmentally friendly but also safer for your health. It's great to see more people embracing such eco-friendly cleaning techniques. It's impressive how effective simple household items can be in tackling tough grime and stains, all while keeping the air in your home free from harsh chemicals. Great choice for learning something new and sustainable! 🌿✨
May I make a suggestion. Looking at your door hinges you have the type that easily allows for the door to be removed. This not only allows you to get at the oven more easily, but you can you put the door on your counter (with some paper etc underneath of cause). It's then easier to clean without bending over. Plus, you can then clean around the edges of the oven and hard to get at places. Hope this helps. Thanks for the video.
It doesn't help. How long do you think he has to be "bent over" and why do you think bending over is a bad thing? Are you morbidly obese? Then taking off the door is just a needless step because it's harder to do than just cleaning the door in place. Yeah... wouldn't want people to use their bodies like they're intended to be used. Ugh
My oven door slides right off (no tools involved) and makes it so much easier to reach the back of my oven for those splattered baked dishes. Why not make things easier on yourself and the cleaning process a lot faster?
Baking soda has so many different uses!!
@@DiffEQ bitter much?
Plus if you do take it apart you can often get to clean the glass in between since the glass is doubled on many (all?) ovens.
I have done that. Works well.
Definitely be trying this as I hate chemicals and the smell it leaves behind, I usually have to wear a mask to stop me inhaling the fumes. Thank you.
here's a little tip I've been doing for over 30 yrs: take a piece of foil the width of your over bottom and place it under your racks to catch the spills, when it gets dirty, throw it away and replace with a clean sheet. Saves on the scrubbing the burned on gunk.
I do that too. I've even come across a foil tray that fits the bottom of my oven perfectly.
I’m 66 years old and have always put foil on the bottom of any oven I’ve ever had. When I moved into this house I put a piece of foil on the bottom and the first time I baked in it the foil melted onto the oven floor and I cannot remove it. It is completely melted onto the metal. New oven and I’ve ruined the look of it. I read afterwards the aluminum foil has changed somehow and I wasn’t supposed to use it like that. Just a warning to people. I guess foil isn’t what it used to be😅
@@ritaC345 I hope it wasn't because you have a gas oven
@@ritaC345 I believe this as years ago I used to use foil also and it was fine in either gas or electric. But in recent years I've noticed when you cover for example a casserole dish with foil, and if the food touches it at all, it gets black spots, and actually drops bits of foil onto your food. Now if I want to cover a dish I put a sheet of parchment paper between the food and the foil so the foil never touches the food.
My electric oven has a steam clean cycle. Has anyone ever used theirs? I haven’t used it yet. Also, with the new ovens you can’t put foil on the bottom. I put it on the bottom rack instead. Is this used for the oven racks also. I used to put mine in a large trash bag and put a bottle of ammonia in it, tie it up and put it outside overnight. The next day you can just take a dry paper towel and the grease comes off.
I'm trying it now. I was told years ago by an appliance repairman not to use the self cleaning feature. He said it shortens the life of the oven, besides the other dangers of such high heat. I will let you know how it turns out! 👍🏻
I finished baking and had a mess in the oven. While the oven was warn I made the paste waited 1/2 and sparkling clean. I was amazed it worked. Thanks!
I love it. Done it before and works Good. Just like I do my windows. Use no chemicals and my windows stay clean gir a long time I wash them in spring, band in the fall and they stay sparkly clean with just a spray it water to wash the dust off. (This is West Texas, all that wind and dust)
@@guadalupeblakey9926 You wash your windows with baking soda?

Pickle juice works good but I will have to try this
Great video with presentation and NO harsh chemicals or poisonous fumes ! I like how the paste seeps into every crevice and space you wouldn’t be able to get to with other cleaning agents. Let’s face it….cleaning out your oven is a stinky, gross task but this really makes it easy and not hazardous with horrible toxic fumes. Thanks so much !
I've been cleaning my oven with baking soda for years, but never tried leaving it overnight. Will definitely try that next time!
Now that your oven is clean you can buy an oven mat..it catches the drips from any food that you're baking..I love it..I purchased mine from Lowes..makes clean up even easier..great video..thanks for sharing.
Can you share the links please
Can you use this mat in a gas oven?
Thank you SO much for this video and I am relieved to know that I am not the only one who is terrified of the self clean feature! I have tried baking soda and vinegar before, but never the overnight paste. It worked like a charm! I never would have believed it if I hadn't seen how dirty your oven was lol it gave me hope to get rid of some stubborn messes! A++++ thank you
I tried your formula with baking soda and pasted the entire inside after 20 yrs, a little scrubbing and it is absolutely amazing, looks like I bought it yesterday, absolutely immaculate!!!
Will use this method on everything!!!
Great video!!!
If I only knew how to show the results on RUclips I would 😊
Yes! This can always be YOUR job you do it so well! I use vinegar dawn dish soap and water in a spray bottle to clean almost everything! But baking soda for baked on gunk is awesome! Buy the big box of baking soda you can sprinkle it on carpets to deodorize carpets too! It’s all so great to use for upset stomach 1/4 tsp in a glass of warm water will help it! AND use warm water and baking soda and a little table salt for a sore throat gargle, the hotter the water the better. It’s a temporary fix but it does help! My grandmother always used it for us as kids. I had the best Grandma ever! 💕
Your wife has you well trained. Love your videos.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
I was told to use baking soda mixed with water by a housekeeper I met in a store. Worked great, but thank you for the extra info about the vinegar spray. I'm going to give it a shot after the initial cleaning now!
⭐️ Thank you. I totally agree about the risks of superheating an appliance in the home; maybe some exceptions depending on the stove, house, cabinetry layout, and their ages. Good point about not wanting particles/fumes cooking with your food. I also like leaving a natural solution to sit overnight instead of needing to force the chore to be done in a few hours with less effective results. Patience. Wax on. Wax off. 🙏
Wow 👍 I really like the fact that no chemicals were used. Super easy, I will definitely try this method!! Cheers 👍🍺
Sorry, but baking soda is a chemical, the spatula was made from chemicals, and so are we......but I know what you mean.
@@sarah2.017 and vinegar is acidic acid. Last I checked, it is a checmical compound.
You can also spray some of that vinegar on the baking soda if you have a really baked-in spill. It bubbles up and really lifts that crud out with a bit of elbow grease on your part. And then of course, use the vinegar as you did for the finishing step.
I was thinking that was going to be one of the steps and then letting it sit!
Very. Useful. And. Practical. Advice, i will use. Often. Thank. You Sir.
Thats what I thought you were supposed to do
Mixing the two -- one a base, the other an acid -- essentially cancels the power of each out. "According to Amanda Morris, associate chair of the chemistry department at Virginia Tech University, baking soda and vinegar basically cancel each other out when they’re mixed - unless you use them the right way, in the right time frame." While the bubbling reaction that occurs when they are first mixed might help dislodged some grease, it's no more effective than using a baking soda + water paste mixture. Don't waste your vinegar mixing it with baking soda. Save it to use on its own.
Don't mix the 2, it's a waste of time and effort. Just follow the video's instructions
I always dreaded cleaning my oven , I tried this method ( NO FUMES ) and it works like a Charm ! Thank you so much !
Glad you like it!!
Baking. Soda. Leaves. Big. White. Streaks
@@lipsaver It works great for me, but you have to clean up the baking soda.with a wet rag, it does not wipe itself down !
As someone who is in their early 20s, just started renting my own place, and has never cleaned a second hand oven before thank you. This makes my life so much easier
Baking soda is Sodium Bicarbonate and vinegar is Acetic Acid, so you are using chemicals to clean the oven. They are just more common daily use chemicals. If you want faster results, you can cover the baking soda paste with plastic wrapping film to minimize water evaporation and keep the mix moist and active for longer.
I think we can all agree that these two common household chemicals are probably the healthier alternative to sodium hydroxide based oven cleaners.
Best part about this video is the guy himself. He's absolutely GORGEOUS.
Agree 100%.!!!!
My wife says your eyes are not deceiving you!
Um I’m guessing bald guys are your type 🤨 which is cool
Spraying vinegar on the dry baking soda makes it like scrubbing bubbles and helps lift the grime. Baking soda sitting for a long time eats through the crusty stuff and loosens it, but sometimes I have needed a scratchy pad to really remove the harder baked on level. Works for burned pots and pans too. Makes them nice and shinney.
For burned pans, take a scoop of laundry powder and place in the pan. Cover the burn part with cold water and bring to the boil. Turn off the heat and put the pan lid on. Leave for a few. hours or overnight. Pour the water away and the burned things should come off easily. It might need a little help with a pan scourer or brush.
Mixing the vinegar with the baking soda and only leave for 10 minutes, then wipe off.
@@PsychicPsal1742 Mixing vinegar with baking soda does nothing but make pretty bubbles/foam. Sodium bicarbonate plus acetic acid = water, CO2, and sodium acetate. sodium acetate is a flavoring, not a cleaner.

I kept dragging my feet on cleaning my oven because of the smell of commercial cleaner. This takes a tiny bit more work, but the oven sparkles and NO harsh chemicals to breathe.
@@BaeLasso The commercial sprays have harsh chemicals. The whole point of the video was to use products (baking soda and vinegar) that work and are less toxic and, quite frankly, less expensive. If you want to use the commercial spray, do it, but don't be dumping on people who are looking for alternatives.
I'll do it for 60
I cover the bottom of my oven with foil. I just have too change the tin foil when it gets soiled. I never clean my oven. Been years. Like your videos . I do use vinegar and water in a small jar with holes poked in the lid. Start the microwave and put on for about 5 minutes or till you see the water steam comes out of the holes in the lid .. Leave the jar sit for 20 minutes or till it has cooled down. Works great too clean Microwave. Wipe down. Your done. Thank you for showing your video. God Bless.
It depends on the oven you have. I bought a Neff oven last year and apparently, because there is heating element at the bottom of the oven, it is not advisable to put anything on the bottom of the oven.
My LG oven instructions say NOT to line the bottom of the oven with foil.
@R MS i was waiting for him to show me how to clean the sides and top. I have cleaned my oven with bicarb paste but it all falls off the top as it doesn't stick too well.
@@jillorton3004 Spray the oven with Easyoff for the night and you will see how everything will come off from the walls nicely. I always put around the paper so nothing not to leek the broiler. There is nothing to play with BS. Later, wash the water with dish soap and it will be sparkling like new.. I know that the sides and up part of the oven is the most difficult to clean. But I was even pregnant so bent down and cleaned. In addition, there is often a cable for the thermostat on the top and it can be damaged. Only be careful.

I live in UK. Live alone so gave up on my proper oven yrs ago. But will b using this method on my halogen oven (which I use daily) now. Thank you.
I have an air fryer as well, I haven’t turn my oven on in over a year, I’ve cleaned it and left it. Shaving cream or gel on the glass door of the oven, works really well 😉
The vinegar cuts grease, but it also turns any baking soda left into water and CO2 or carbon dioxide ( which is what we exhale). There is some sodium acetate left, but it burns off at 380’ F and turns into CO2 and something else innocuous. So this way of cleaning a stove is perfect! :)🌷🌱
Thank you!
Hi! I did the baking soda paste and cleaned my oven. Some of the paste are stuck in crevices I can't get too. Should I just spray it with vinegar or is it safe to turn the oven on? Thank you!
That suhoulr not be a problem. If you've ever made a "volcano" with baking soda and vinegar.. the vinegar will make the baking soda fizz up. Or you can try spraying with water first --- maybe an old toothbrush will help get it out --just like in the part where you are wiping off the leftover baking soda paste. Warm water might be best. But either way it's safe to use.@@princessducky
As a baker I have 4 ovens. I have hesitated to use the self clean feature. Thank you for this video.
Be ready for a lot more work than you expect.
That works OK on stains that are not old or crusty. Cleaned a stove with it and spent a lot of energy scrubbing and it cleaned it half way. Got some over clenaer and it took EVERYTHING off with ease. Use the oven cleaner.
yeah this shit is only for people who clean their oven once a month, I'm more of a once a year or two and need the chemicals
Yep, he started with what I call a clean oven.
*he is trying to show an alternative to harsh chemical ..
My daughter said scrunch up foil and use it to scrub....but it takes a lot of elbow grease...Dawn dish washing helps too. But Im 70...Im cant reach some places.
@@skyflowerkat915 and I"m saying that only works if you start off with a relatively clean oven, it dont work with hard burnt on crap
You’re absolutely correct about the self cleaning oven feature-the self clean cycle raises the temperature of the oven so high it’s like an inferno waiting to happen.
I did it once and all the adjacent wood cabinets were about to self combust.
Aside from the stifling heat given off a strong oil odor from the oven lasted throughout my condo for months.
I’ll be using baking soda and white vinegar conservatively
I used the self clean on a former stove I had. the next time I went to turn it on, it wouldn't work at all.so there went that. beautiful stove, I loved it. it wasn't old either.
That sounds scary.
@@sharonlatour6230 9
I won't use mine either
It works fine... The cupboards don't get super hot either...
Excellent demo. As a retired Telephone Lineman who enjoys cooking this is great. I purchased my new oven 2 years ago and I’ve put off cleaning my oven. You make it look simple and easy. Thank you.
Didn't clean your oven for 2 years? Wow, buddy you must rarely use it, or it's going to catch on fire, if you don't clean it soon
After putting the baking soda on if you spray heavy with white vinegar, it will cause a chemical reaction and the baked on crud will come off quicker. You can also use this around the top of the stove burners to clean around them.
A tried and true method for oven cleaning. Takes a bit of "elbow grease", but well worth the results. I always fear running the self-cleaning oven. Afraid of burning my house to the ground. Uses a tremendous amount of power as well. Thanks for showing everyone how easy and safe it is to clean!😀❤️
It was wonderful, especially on the racks whose built up nasties I had been unable to remove with harsh chemicals. And not having to worry about those chemicals afterwards was sheer bliss! Thank you!
Thanks for posting. I was wondering about the racks.
I found putting the racks in the bathtub with some liquid soap. Works great!
@@JustMe-cr6rd I put the racks in the tub fill with water just enough to cover them and sprinkle about a half cup of baking soda on top . Leave for a few hours and then wipe off the residue. Use more baking soda on your cloth as you are cleaning for tough spots.
"Ask your wife...mine's doing that in the background." I am cracking up! That's exactly how it would be in this house. ❤

Thank you for this informative vog. I too have used my self cleaning heat once, and was so scared, as everything around the oven got sooo hot! I totally agree with you, that this is the best way. Love to you all from Devon, England. xxx
Heard of using baking soda before but never tried it. I suppose I was sceptical, but actually seeing it done has convinced me to try it so when I go shopping it’s the first thing on the list lol. I really appreciate you taking the time to share this and demonstrate it also. Great results, thank you 🙏🏻 I will let you know how it goes next week 👍🏻🤞🏻
Hello Carole
How are you doing?
Baking soda an vinegar are a staple in our house,,great for bath tubs an pottys too, pour baking soda then ad vinegar on top an use a long handle brush for potty 15min. scrub then flush. all done an good for drains too...same in tub.,use shower to rinse..it will bubble up ...I use a wash cloth to go around tub ring, an it's easy. A brush is amazing..one for EACH appliance.fresh an easy.
the brushes at $ dollar store are GREAT-(I call um my cheap thrills.... 🤣🤣
skeptical sorry
I keep baking soda under every sink. It is good for odors.
When I managed a convenience store we had a milk leak that went behind the walls. NOTHING got rid of the smell until I used baking soda!
True story.
3 months and I'm still waiting, Carole.
I’ve tried cleaning ovens with this method several times over the years. Didn’t work and I don’t let my oven get too dirty. I’m glad it works for you.
Thank you, I clean houses as my job, I loved this , no smell, no scratchers, no hot oven, great video,
This was wonderful! Since i don't have much time, I can do a small portion every night and clean it up in the morning as part of my kitchen routine. Thank you so very much!

"Wowzers" and "jeepers" lol
Very helpful video!
This video is absolutely amazing and I now know how to clean my oven without harsh chemicals. I don't clean it as often as I should because of the chemicals, not that it's real nasty from food spillage, however, it can now be cleaned so much better. Thanks to you Sir, that is over!
Hey Jennifer
How are you doing?
After putting the baking soda on if you spray heavy with white vinegar, it will cause a chemical reaction and the baked on crud will come off quicker. You can also use this around the top of the stove burners to clean around them.
Great job. No harsh chemicals and no using the self-cleaning feature too. Our technician told us the self-cleaning function can hugely impact the lifespan of a stove. Certain parts wear out quickly as most ovens aren’t meant to stay at 600 degrees Fahrenheit, for such a long time. In addition, the video already pointed out what can go wrong in its malfunction.
Very impressive cleaning job!
Great tip...especially the Brewskis or two. You might have covered floor in front of oven with a couple old towels or something to protect floors. Recently bought oven drip protectors....but DID NOT use them for fear of high heat creating harmful gases. Good job...thanks for sharing.
Good suggestion
An option i added to this (For Really Grubby Ovens) is the same but AFTER applying the paste, turn the oven on low for an hour or so allow the baked on fat to absorb into the BiCarb Soda, when cool continue as in this video... for the grubby shelves fill a bath or, if you have a large enough laundry tub or other.. fill with laundry powder and BiCarb soda and HOT water as hot as you can get it... leave to soak a few hours or overnight and the gunk will come off much easier.. had to clean a mate's place for him.. he loved to bake Roasts, but had teenagers and a mum w dementia and studying Law, so you can imagine little time for cleaning (hence the reason i was there as paid help) anyways as most of us HATE cleaning ovens (even moreso someone else's very grubby one) i was looking for solutions to the usual 'toxic' oven cleaners..
I'm not a paid help now he's done his Law studies and his mum has passed the children mostly grown up now.. i hope he learned a few tricks but i doubt, he'll probs just find paid help...
By looking at this sorts of video using vinegar and bicarbonate of soda I ruined the my cooker grill and have stains in the stainless steel boarder on my oven door .
Excellent demo. Here's a tip for getting the baked off grease on the inside glass. Before you use the vinegar on it, take a window scraping tool, the kind with a shaving razor blade in it, and scrape off the baked on grease. Then go over it with the vinegar.
What type of vinegar? Cleaning vinegar or actual cooking vinegar?
@@sandyperez8270 Regular white vinegar that you find in the baking isle of grocery store is used for cooking and cleaning.
I would ask again about the vinegar. Cooking and cleaning vinegars are different. The cleaning is stronger and I do NOT use it for cooking.
@@janeforever I use the cooking vinegar for cleaning for the very reason that it is milder than the cleaning one (less potent and acidic and eco friendly). It works just fine.
Thaaaank you so much! Love the lack of toxic chemicals 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You are so welcome!
I appreciated hearing about your experience using the self-clean mode. I've never used mine and after what you shared I doubt I ever will. **Great** video. Very helpful watching your technique using the baking soda and white vinegar.
I tried mine once but regretted it. Terribly hot & made a film. Hate it.
This isn't the first time I've heard a horror story relating to self cleaning ovens. Someone else said the oven caught fire and they had to use a fire extinguisher . I'm surprised the goverment hasn't banned the feature out right already. It's really not safe.
Put your paste on..then spray it down with the vinegar..then put plastic wrap to cover the whole thing..4 hours later pull the plastic wrap and all your gunk will come off
I prefer not use plastic at all.
I can see that working pretty well.
@@anthonydefr Just did the plastic wrap method and it worked so well. Granted it’s extra effort but totally worth it
Yes I definitely thought that the baking soda and vinegar should be used at the same time. That reaction is what cleans the tough mess
That baking soda and water paste is also a fantastic cleaner for getting stubborn tea/coffee stains off of your favorite ceramic mug. It's a mild abrasive so it removes the staining without dulling the glazing much.
I'll have to give this a shot, I hate oven cleaner and the one time I used the self cleaning feature of the stove it lifted the arborite beside the stove. Way too hot for comfort.
It takes a tremendous amount of scrubbing and trying to get all the baking soda off! He only shows doing the bottom - not the sides and racks. I tried this, and it has been a week that I keep working away at it. The baking soda gets into places it shouldn't go and it is impossible to get it out. It is really difficult to get everything cleaned up - I still have a ways to go. Not my idea of an easy solution. I think just using it on specific spots might be helpful.
Oh My, Thank you. I just came across this video and I have been putting this job off for a long time. I do keep a silicone mat always on my bottom rack but I need to attack the door, bottom and sides in the worst way. Note: for the racks I take and place in a Contractor Heavy Duty Bag and place paper towels on each rack and then use ammonia poured and secure the bag I use lemon and of course outside. Tie the Bag for a couple of hours and then take your gloves and a little scrubby with your hose and clean. Grim and grease comes right off. I need to season my new cast Iron and have been putting it off till I did this chore. Thanks Again.
Great suggestion on racks
I add, straight baking soda on the appliances and pots,pans,window sealsliding doors etc... and also spray vinegar on top> it fizzes all the dirt,loosens the dirt and> I just wipe it down!> No scrubbing depending on how much it was,but really,it's easier than leaving a paste overnight and scrubbing it with a spatula!> You learn something new everyday!❤
"I'm completely mesmerized watching this video and the content...especially cleaning an oven...will try it.
I had been doing similar things with baking soda and vinegar until I recently discovered a new technique. I put a yeast dough in the oven to rise with a bowl of boiled water beneath to warm the oven. When the dough proofed I found that a lot of the oils and baked on materials left on oven surfaces had liquified and I only had to wipe up the drippings. I still use baking soda on stubborn spots but a bowl of boiled water left in a closed oven for an hour or two makes the job so much easier.
Do you have your oven on at a low temperature to keep the hot water hot?
I did it and it was perfect. Not my favorite job to do but it really got the glass clean of the baked on brown grease. I shared this with a friend who complained she could not get it clean . Thanks for sharing
Place a sheet of tin foil in base of big plastic container,lay all stainless steel oven parts on top then cover with soda crystals,cover with boiling water and watch the magic happen,this is also brilliant for cleaning sterling silver jewellery,the dirt just drops off
what kind of Soda Crystals?
OMG x3 I just cleaned my oven with this. It works like a charm!❤❤

Wow, so glad that I landed on your video! What you said about using the self-cleaning cycle---that's exactly why I've never used it on mine! I've heard horror stories like that and I'm afraid of it. I've been using baking soda to clean my oven, but never left it on long enough. I was simply sprinkling it in, then spritzing with white vinegar (so cool to watch it bubble up), then trying to scrub the grunge out, which only partially worked. I'm anxious to try your method and hope it works on my filthy oven and the glass door (so dirty that I can hardly see thru it! lol) Thanks for this hot cleaning tip, Mr. Hotty....err, I mean Mr. Gizmo.
Hey Sandy
How are you doing?
"the only bald guy you need to make this, is me" truer words have never been spoken! you're the real mr. clean! thanks for this video. im watching as a first time homeowner, having moved in 3 months ago. i figured today was the day to clean!
In 20 years, I have used the self cleaning feature on my GE oven more than a dozen times, and NEVER had a problem with it catching my cabinets on fire or even coming close to doing this. And the oven works fine.
You are fortunate. I think newer ovens are more likely to have issues.
Yeah- that's what it's for! Then you have a small pile of ash to clean up!!
I used the self-cleaning feature on my brother’s oven and it did catch on fire - I think it depends on what food droppings are the bottom.
Just had the fireball on Boxing Day with self cleaning 😳We have used the self clean over the years. Never again
Old GE ovens are tanks and they work well. I had one too, a Monogram. Newer ovens are built cheaper. Today’s service techs will advise you against using the self clean as it will shorten the life of your oven. Things aren’t built the way they used to be, unfortunately.
I used the self clean...for a few minutes. The BOOM was frightening followed by a fireball. My loyal, loving cats who never want to leave my side..bolted outside in a rush, leaving me to deal with the inferno. Thanks for your help Cats, I will know who NOT to count on in the next emergency! Much better to use this method than the self cleaner !
I use baking soda and white vinegar. Put down the baking soda and pour white vinegar on (either with a spray or pour it on carefully). It will bubble up and within 15 mins the worst dirt and grime will come off! Quick and easy. Works every time!
Thank you! This makes me want to do mines today. I love the fact that its so easy and free from harmful chemicals.
Thanks for showing this i will do this the next time i clean my oven it looks like a new oven thanks again for sharing this
To make it even easier on yourself, buy the oven protectors, cut to size to cover the base of your oven, and the same for the oven racks.
It certainly makes oven cleaning that much easier 🤣
On a side note, I’m a male🙂 and would never ever let my wife of 46 years clean the oven, I always felt it’s a man’s job 😂
You are a gentleman!
I'm also using oven protector. Just wipe with papers towel
You're wrong on two things.
That oven protector "thingy" is jot meat for oven bottoms and become a fire hazard if use as such.
Two, it's not a man's job. My job as a man is to get home, have a drink ready. Eat food. Have seggs. Go out with the boys. Have seggs (not with the boys obs). Go back home. Have seggs. Sleep. Wake up to a warm breakfast to soak the alcohol I've had the previous night.
Thank you. I'll do that after I clean it. 😂
Hi DEON FROM UK
I took the exact same principle as you said with the baking soda and water except I took the trays correction the racks from the oven cover them in baking soda and water and put them in swing bin containers plastic bags for 24 hours .
When they came out I just rinsed them in the bathroom as they’re quite big too big to go in the kitchen sink they came out like brand-new 😁😁😁😁
Fabulous it works thanks for your video my oven looks amazing thanks for sharing lots of blessings
Best tip ever, fill the bath tub with super hot water and powdered dishwasher soap. Put the racks in there for as long as you can…. Few hours. They come out like new with zero elbow grease. It works so well. Life changing. PS do not do this to your stove fan filters. It ruined mine.
How much powdered dishwasher soap did you use? Also, how long did you soak the racks? Do u fill the tub just enough so the water covers the racks completely and no more?
I put my racks in the dishwasher. Have to do the odd scrub but usually they are just fine. They ares stainless steel.
@@leejeffers1240 about a cup or two and just covered them with the hottest water for about three hours.
Put an old towel on bottom of bath to prevent scratching.
Great job. Just needs a little more spray vinegar and leave overnight and no scrubbing cause the vinegar on top of baking soda eats the burned on food.
Yes..it was so strange , that he has mentioned " soda " and 'vinegar "..but instead used soda and water :)) A mystery 🤔:))
@@lianam3262 No mystery at all. He named three ingredients needed to clean the oven: baking soda, water, and vinegar. Apply the baking soda with water to form paste to dissolve the grease, then follow with vinegar for additional cleaning, sanitizing, and shine.
@@lianam3262
What mystery? It seemed that you just can't understand simple English! He said baking soda, water, and then said vinegar in a spray bottle. He also showed mixing the baking soda with water.
All I can say is that if you have a self-cleaning oven, don't leave it unattended. I set mine to self-clean once and it caught on fire. I had to call the fire department. My house would have burned down if I wasn't home. I had to buy a new one but I was just glad that I avoided a disaster.
Hello 👋 There
How are you doing?
Tell the whole story. How old, what condition was the oven in, and how neglected was the clean condition of the oven before you turned on the cleaning? A perfectly good unit will not do that.
@@michaelcrocco4021 This happened in the late 90's so I can't remember the make but it was moderately dirty because I was a careful cooker. Plus, it was only a few years old. Now that you asked me this, I realize I should have contacted the manufacturer and complained
@@gerardinecizmar Hi Gerardine, I hope that you did not take offense to my post. Wasn't trying to be mean just being realistic. I spent 40 years in the service industry and believe me I've seen some crazy things go on in peoples homes.

Thanks! I have a self cleaning oven, but have been afraid to use it, heard too many stories. So just haven't cleaned it in nine years. Will try this!
You put it on and leave bbn it on. Make sure windows are open. Why do you buy self CV cleaning if you dont plan on using its feature? Yes, it bbn would burn grease. But that would lm d happen if you bake in any dirty oven that hasn't been cleaned in 0 years. You break as k a selfcleanimg oven by cleaning it manually
@@batsheva7819 It came with the house. thanks!
Same here, but 11 years for me. A friend had her oven door glass shatter the first time she used her self clean, so I'm not willing to even try it. I don't use my oven often, and don't eat meat, so no big grease issues. Needs cleaning by now obviously, so I'm going to try this method.
A very nice video. I didn't read nearly all of the comments - so don't know if anyone else mentioned this - but you might have mentioned that you could stop the self-cleaning cycle by flipping the breaker (at least for an electric stove).
Great idea!
That is a great tip!!!! I guess that is where common sense comes in. Many people have no common sense these days. My common sense eluded me on this one. lol
You can also use scratch free pads to get the bad parts. This is a great idea. Thanks!
