CORRECTION FOR CLEANING THE OVEN GLASS DOOR PANEL: please note, I recommend using a NON-SCRATCHING scrub pad (the blue one!) to avoid small micro scratches. The green one I used is heavy duty and CAN cause tiny scratches. I don’t care about this oven because as I said, it’s going to the junk yard on Monday, but I realize it was the WRONG tool to use and I wanted to point that out to you guys! SORRY! And thank you to those that pointed it out to me. I was totally not thinking about longevity of this darn thing when filming! ❤️
I love this video 😍 I really would like to see a video or even just advice on how to get clean an electric solid stove plate. I have tried bicarb and dish soap with a toothbrush, different cleaners for the store but nothing seems to get them to look completely clean. Been struggling with this issue for over a year, I have found no RUclips videos or web pages that have anything that actually works :(
@@tinkie_xo Hi! Did you contact the manufacturer? Did it have any cleaning advise in the manual, or warranty paperwork? Some cleaners might void the warranty, so it should be in there. I'm not understanding exactly what type of item you're talking about. Or what type of dirt you're trying to remove. Is it built up grease? If all else fails, go to Home Depot's cleaning aisle, orange oil if you can find it works miracles, or the product line by Zep works miracles too. (*Zep drain cleaner cuts through the stuff that the drain cleaners from Walmart/Target etcetera leave blocked.) Zep's stuff is industrial strength, it works. Hope this helps. Take care, stay safe, have a nice day. ☺️✌️☮️🖖 😷 🙉🙈🙊
Oh shoot! How I SO wish I’d seen this correction before following your glass cleaning method from watching the video. Now that my only year-old oven door glass is scratched...any tips to remove the scratches??
Just want to say how well this worked!! I've tried using harsh chemicals, and nothing happens except my kitchen stinks and I end up with a headache! My oven is now clean!! Thanks so much!!
I`m glad that u make this video of cleaning the whole oven finally. When I searched videos of how to clean an oven, they only show u how to clean the racks and the door.
YES!! I inherited an oven several years ago and it was so greasy I never managed to clean it completely. It never ends. I needed this video so much! Thank you, Melissa :)
I just want to thank you so much for this video no one ever taught me how to clean an oven and the oven recently had to use was so grimey and thought I could never get it clean finally looks beautiful after following this video after 3 cleans. Thank you so much feel like you're helping me become a proper adult 😅
This is very useful! When I lived in apartments, I used to just move away in order to obtain a clean oven, but now that I'm in a house I suppose I should learn how to do this. I like that I do not have to use EZ-OFF for this - I have bad memories of that smell from childhood.
Try cutting those large 3M pads into 1/3rds. It will make it much easier to use and you won't drag the clean part of the pad thru the parts you are scrubbing with your finger tips. Also, a razor blade window scraper such as you use to remove paint from windows works well at cleaning the glass in the oven. Just use a fresh razor blade as they tend to rust and will scratch the glass if they do.
A very experienced appliance repair person came in to replace a control board for my oven. He told me to never use the self-cleaning option on an oven, especially an older model. He states that it wears out an oven more quickly and it'll frequently damage heating elements, temperature sensors and even the electronic control boards. He suggested doing what this video states and to scrape off debris with a plastic scraper, wipe the rest down with some vinegar and anything that is really stuck on to just leave it.
@OptoPhone All of this makes total sense to me except one very important step- "Anything that is really stuck on, JUST TO LEAVE IT"?? An appliance repair "specialist" and this was his BEST oven cleaning advice for baked on, stuck on globs of food- THAT was the very best he could advise you to do?? Surely there HAS to be a way to remove those stubborn, burnt on chunks of food? Its been thru my own trial & error that any pieces of food, anything that's spilled before, during or when removing the baked dish, if not promptly cleaned as soon as the oven is cool, will only cause this baked on food particle will continue to keep being baked on with every use of the oven, will just continue getting "baked on" your oven eventually getting so burnt on that it becomes black and will eventually
I had a Samsung oven destroy the control board. The technician told me that the board was destroyed by the high heat used when using the self clean feature. It was during the Covid lockdown. I couldn’t get a replacement control board in the near future. Samsung products made in China. I had to buy a new oven.
Just a heads up. If you make a paste from powdered dishwasher soap (the cheaper brand the better) & a little water & rub it on then let it set for a bit it loosens everything stuck on and makes cleaning your oven a breeze without all that scrubbing. I add a little soap onto my scrubber & scrub off anything left then wipe it out and rinse with vinegar water. You can also lift anything stuck to pans or bakeware by filling with warm water & adding a little dry dishwasher soap then let it set for half on hour or longer and wash all the baked on stuff off easy peasy.
You have inspired me so much!! I spent yesterday and today cleaning out every single kitchen cabinet! We have so much recycling and so many things to donate! And the squirrels are happy to eat our expired nut butter and crackers. I have also moved on to my bathroom drawers. Can you please share where to buy that little scraper? Thank you so much!!
Thanks for video, I enjoy them, will try it. I hate deep cleaning an oven I find quickly wiping inside oven and glass door EVERY time I use it with washing up liquid and water and then buffing to a shine keeps it in showroom condition! Also I use a tray under casseroles that could spill over or use a special oven liner on the bottom of oven that you wipe off, prevents burnt on nasties in the first place 😀
Was literally just watching your self cleaning oven video from 9 years ago and you posted this new video 2 hours ago! Thank you! This video is going to be the more relevant one for me.
Today was literally oven cleaning day but I didnt have do nearly as much as you even though I live in an apartment. The person before me took really good care of the oven and all I've had to do is keep up with it but that window is so greasy! Definitely going to try the product you used.
You are a mind reader. I had a terrible mac and cheese leak in my oven on Thanksgiving. 😬 Since we have a double oven, I've just been using the "clean" one and trying not to look at the oven where the mac and cheese incident occurred. 😐 This will give me the push I need to stop being intimidated and clean the stinking oven! Thank you!
You can use Arm & Hammer's Super Washing Soda for more cleaning power. I think of it as baking soda's stronger cousin. :-) Per the Arm & Hammer website: "Ovens, Range Tops, and Broiler Pans - Ease these messy jobs with a solution of ½ cup Super Washing Soda dissolved in a gallon of warm water. For stubborn, crusted soils, sprinkle Super Washing Soda dry on a damp sponge to scour quickly and easily. Remove burners and soak in solution for at least 30 minutes to banish greasy build-up. Rinse well and dry." Probably best to wear gloves. All the best!
Most warranties only last a couple years and they only cover manufacturer defects... chances are you don't have a warranty to preserve anymore. If your oven is working well and has been for a long time any issue that might pop up soon probably wouldn't be covered by a manufacturer's warranty anyway. Clean in peace Cheers!
I vacuum the crumbs out of the oven and bake a pan of water to soften the gunk like how you clean a microwave. Not sure if it's a good idea to do all the time but it worked for me before.
Don’t feel bad Melissa I only have one arm myself to use as I was born with cerebral palsy as long as you do the best job you can at least your oven is clean and if you take notice that over time the finish wears off with every day use I don’t use my oven as I can’t lift heavy things out of it I boa counter top roaster pan and that’s how I made my turkey breast also have an air fryer which are great . I enjoy your videos and Riley’s getting big and adorable she’s a mini you
I just "finished" cleaning my oven your way. It took me two hours because I still can't get all the dishwashing liquid off. My oven is almost as dirty as when I started. The back, sides and bottom are still encrusted with brown stuff even though I used a scrubby with the mixture. The window is the only thing that's clean because I used Bon Ami on it. Tomorrow I'll go and get Easy Off and clean it again, because that works.
Woop Woop Finally! Self-cleaning oven is rare here in Sweden, or at least where I’ve been. Still waiting on a vid for oven racks for us without a bath tub. For now, it’ll have to do with cilit bang, some steel wool sponges and lots of elbow grease.
Yup...the timing is perfect since this piece of garbage gets junked on Monday and my new one arrives. It is self cleaning and I won’t dare do this inside 😂
I will need to try using this method next time I clean my oven. BTW, I did clean my oven racks a couple of weeks ago and your method worked out wonderfully. As a side note, you may want to use gloves when doing any type of cleaning especially during the winter months. You will thank me later :)
Using a glass scraper (dollartree) works much better on the glass than an abrasive pad - which actually might scratch the glass. Also check the door hinges (or the oven manual). Most ovens have quick release doors so you can just flip a latch or something and remove the entire door. That makes cleaning so much easier. Caution, those doors are heavy.
2 questions on this subject for all of you. How do you get to the back and top of the oven to clean? I’m not able to use any scrubbing pressure strength because of angle of my arm to get in there. Also, I never see the heating coils, top or bottom, when people are cleaning their ovens. Nor do they ever mention removing them! Tips please!
Yes, these cleaning “pros” conveniently skip over addressing how to clean the interior ceiling of the oven where the heating elements are. I’ve watched a ton of cleaning tip videos and none of them address this! Do they not know how to do it either? How can you make a video like this giving tips on how to clean and oven and not even address this issue?
I like so much that she is real and doesn't have any phoney pretences about house cleaning! How did you remove the bottom burner? I am sorry your arm hurts but thanks for the video!
Thank you, fun fact if you give me anything mechanical, I can break it down, fix it. Maintain it. But I suck at cleaning haha.So, instead of blasting the inside of my oven out with wd40 and attacking the burned on crust with a wrench I considered looking up tips before I started. And I'm glad I did, thank you so much for all of your help.
Hi Melissa, I just have to say your videos are therapeutic for me . So much so that it makes me calmer and gives hope that things will be easier than before . Keep up the good work ❤️
Thank you for ALL your cleaning tips! I have a self cleaning over and was told you can clean the area that is outside the coil? And around the top area that self cleaning wouldn’t clean? My oven is way pass any warranty. Also could you tell me what to use on the outside panel. Mine is black. When I shined my flashlight on it was terrible. My microwave and dishwasher washer too. Would I treat like windows? Thanks in advance!
It's really easy to apply this paste with a paintbrush. and the best technique is to leave the oven light on (for a small amount of heat) and let this sit overnight. It dissolves the gunk and makes it much easier to clean off.
OH MY GOD. I just moved into my first place (I rent a room but my housemates don’t use the kitchen so it’s mine!) but the oven from the previous tenants is disgusting. I cleaned the stove top and the racks and they look a million times better but I love baking and it’s so sad when I can’t use the oven! So I’m definitely thanking you, I didn’t want to use the oven solutions 🤢
I can't use a lot if chemicals because the smells trigger migraines. As a result a quarter of the bottom of my stove was solid black. It finally occurred to me to try Brillo. 99% of the black on the stove is gone.
I guess you unplugged the oven and unscrewed the heating elements because I see where it goes on the bottom but it’s not there? Much easier than cleaning around it but you didn’t mention it so I was just wondering?
I use “the pink stuff” on my oven doors it works AMAZING! I did a video on it 🙌🏼 I do love your cleaning tips! I always put paper towels down to catch all the yuk too
When I bought my new oven, I had the tech come out to recalibrate the oven temp gage. When we were talking, he advised not using the self clean on the oven because it shortens the life of the oven. So, clean as much as you can with mild cleaners to keep your oven clean and minimize the self clean feature.
Your question is tough, both my husband and I baked some really good things this year, like bread and Cookies (chocolate chunks is the new chocolate chips, people!), but I think the best goes to my first (and second) time trying to make an apple pie - it was beyond delicious!
@@lauren8627 it's like that where i live too and i think it's ridiculous, like it's acceptable for something like that to stop working after 2 years. I'm not changing my oven every 2 years, who agreed that yes, 2 years is a reasonable amount of warranty to give consumers for a high ticket item 😂🤦♀️
@@mmmmmmolly It's really is sad they 'don't make things how they used to'. So wasteful. Too much high tech electronics and disposable mindset. Oops I just turned into my grandma!
"Blue Dawn" and baking soda. I think the "pink" is Dawn too, but Blue is definitely stronger but gentle. It is the same soap used to wash oil-saturated birds in an oil spill. Clean often and use a foil tray in the bottom of the oven to catch any spills. Thanks.
@@AbbeyOnAtkins I know what you meant. The heating process causes leaching and does not necessarily have to touch food. But, it does enter food as the entire oven becomes toxic. Scientific report. Why take that chance? I want my family safe. A better solution is placing a cookie sheet below whatever container your food is in.
I'm so glad to see that you didn't get all residue off. I think it is impossible without going to extreme measures. Our enamel is very dull and chipped off in many places. Next time we will try to find an actual self cleaning gas oven instead of the one we have which is a steam cleaning type. What a joke.
Once, after I cleaned my oven, my husband decided to make South African "boerewors". Three hours after that oven was cleaned (it looked like a brand new oven) it was black all over the inside. The best thing that came out of the oven this year: homebaked fluffy dinner rolls. In our home we love homebaked bread. But we can't do it often because it's not that healthy.
Ohhh best thing was probably a lasagna! Or more recently some pumpkin pie! Hope your shoulder feels well soon! Btw, there is a way to dismount the oven door, just using the metal hinges. There should be a small hinge at the top of them, flip them, manoeuvre the door a bit, and it comes off very easily! Learned that while cleaning my oven, and it makes reaching the back so much easier, and because your not really taking anything apart, don't think it would void the warranty either 😉
I use baking soda (4 parts) mixed with water(1part) and vinegar2parts) and a little bit of dish soap. Put them in a bowl, it has to be watery. Turn on the oven for 15-20 min .I leave it inside of the bowl, and later when i will use a sponge i will put it on the surface . Later everything is softer and easily to be removed.For stains that are too difficult i put some baking soda into a soft sponge and it will work. I use vinegar at the end to clean the oven because baking soda leaves residue. At the end I turn on the oven ,at the max for 15 min so there is nothing harmful left inside and it's safe to use it.
Can you please do a video on cleaning a ceramic top stove and aqua lift self clean oven? We just bought one and I want to clean it properly to keep it looking great. Thanks
Use caution when using this paste as to not push it into any seam crevices as you will not be able to wipe it out of the seams. Later after it dries it will fall out of these crevices as a soapy powder. I used this method two months ago and Am continuously wiping dry residue from these areas, even after using a dry clean toothbrush to try to remove the stuck paste. It worked just be careful where you push the paste.
Awesome video! Do you have a video on how to clean the fruit/crisper drawers in the fridge. I have a Samsung French door fridge and anytime I try to clean in between the drawers I find it so hard to get out the food particles because they're in the glass barrier. Any tips will help... Thank you! 🙏
Omg I’ve been waiting for the oven one for 7 years haha I feel so much closure now 🥹 The best thing that came out of my oven this year was a lasagna with handmade pasta sheets big enough for 10 people. Thank you for this video!
Best thing to come out of my oven is vegan green bean casserole made from scratch. Its so delicious and addicting. But, thanks Melissa for showing a way to clean the oven without the harsh chemicals. My mom can't be around them even if its lemon oven spray its to strong for her asthma. I have asthma so I bear through it and try not to breath so much and open all the doors and windows too to help air out the place. But, it takes a while to let it sit too. So, my mom always has to leave the house for hours at a time while I clean the oven. So, thank you for showing us a more eco-friendly way to deep clean an oven. Appreciate it. I will have to try your version with your product recommendations next time I clean the oven. Thanks. Your the best! Hope your dislocated shoulder gets feeling better soon. Happy Holidays to you and Chad. 😊😁❤❤🥳🎄

Oh dear. Bless your heart.🙏🏾✨💕
Thank you
Thanks!
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank u🧡my god I won’t listen to 10min of cleaning I want to see the actual cleaning process 🥺
If manufacturers don’t want you to take your door apart maybe they shouldn’t create secret invisible crevices that food can inexplicably fall into 🤬
Thank you!
Exactly Amy, there has to be a better design 🙄
BIG MOOD!!!
My oven is specifically made so you can open up the door and clean the inside. It's amazing!
This video informed that I voided my warranty.
Just want to say how well this worked!! I've tried using harsh chemicals, and nothing happens except my kitchen stinks and I end up with a headache! My oven is now clean!! Thanks so much!!
i used this oven cleaner and accidentally got it on my hand and it stung and i just inhaled alot of it and i have a bad headache
Thank you so much for actually having a legit dirty oven. Now I don't feel so bad.
I wish I could give you 1000 likes.

An elderly landlord used a wire brush on my oven and it was never cleaner. Sometimes with those older ovens we need old school tools
As a cleaning lady myself, I like it. I do it the same way: it is real heavy work and I use both hands, too:)

This is amazing I thought I was the only one who did a vinegar rinse to get any residual grease or chemicals!
Just cleaned my oven today and this video was a huge help!
Thank you for helping me clean my space and for focusing on nontoxic products
Thank you! I just bought a new oven and it's non-self-cleaning. This is a first for me.
You got this. Stay on top of it! Wipe it down regularly and sweep out any crud and you should be in good shape.
I vacuum the crumbs out of the oven and bake a pan of water to soften the gunk like how you clean a microwave. Not sure if it's a good idea to do all the time but it worked for me before.
Thank you so much Melissa for the tips! I used a silicone basting brush to apply the mixture and it worked great.
Thank you so much! I used your tips to clean the oven racks, but I have indeed been waiting for this video.
Did you remove a heating element from the floor of the oven? Mine has a large one covering the floor. Is it removable for cleaning?
hi, you are incredible...you are so inspiring that i had clean my oven at 22.00 a´clock ☺, thank you for your videos ♥

Thank u for this! I wanted to find out how to do it effectively because what I’ve done before didnt work. Is this a Whirlpool oven? Just curious.

@toijg avnnr What exactly are you trying to say? Were you even replying to my comment or "simply" trying to post a general comment?
This has made my year! Helloooooo Saturday night! 🎉
Come on my friend! You can do this on a Tuesday afternoon 😂
How about cleaning a stove top and elements that come out? I don’t have a flat top. I have individual heating elements.
this is so satisfying can’t wait to clean my oven
Wow! Long sleeve sweat Jacket, long hair, no gloves? As your cleaning! Hats off to y’all!
Using a glass scraper (dollartree) works much better on the glass than an abrasive pad - which actually might scratch the glass. Also check the door hinges (or the oven manual). Most ovens have quick release doors so you can just flip a latch or something and remove the entire door. That makes cleaning so much easier. Caution, those doors are heavy.
2 questions on this subject for all of you. How do you get to the back and top of the oven to clean? I’m not able to use any scrubbing pressure strength because of angle of my arm to get in there. Also, I never see the heating coils, top or bottom, when people are cleaning their ovens. Nor do they ever mention removing them! Tips please!
Yes, these cleaning “pros” conveniently skip over addressing how to clean the interior ceiling of the oven where the heating elements are. I’ve watched a ton of cleaning tip videos and none of them address this! Do they not know how to do it either? How can you make a video like this giving tips on how to clean and oven and not even address this issue?
I like so much that she is real and doesn't have any phoney pretences about house cleaning! How did you remove the bottom burner? I am sorry your arm hurts but thanks for the video!
Thanks for a great tutorial! I never use the self-cleaning function. It gets so hot it can ruin the circuit board and cause the need for repairs.
Thank you, fun fact if you give me anything mechanical, I can break it down, fix it. Maintain it. But I suck at cleaning haha.So, instead of blasting the inside of my oven out with wd40 and attacking the burned on crust with a wrench I considered looking up tips before I started. And I'm glad I did, thank you so much for all of your help.
Hi Melissa, I just have to say your videos are therapeutic for me . So much so that it makes me calmer and gives hope that things will be easier than before . Keep up the good work ❤️
Thank you for ALL your cleaning tips! I have a self cleaning over and was told you can clean the area that is outside the coil? And around the top area that self cleaning wouldn’t clean?
My oven is way pass any warranty. Also could you tell me what to use on the outside panel. Mine is black. When I shined my flashlight on it was terrible. My microwave and dishwasher washer too.
Would I treat like windows?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks for this video. I have asthma and have been trying to find out how to clean my oven without using harsh chemicals.
Thank you! Great tips!
All the best from Fareham in the UK
This video is so informative! I didn't even know that the bottom shelf comes out! lol!
As a renter, I appreciate this video, thank you.... and chocolate chip cookies! 🍪 😁😋
It's really easy to apply this paste with a paintbrush. and the best technique is to leave the oven light on (for a small amount of heat) and let this sit overnight. It dissolves the gunk and makes it much easier to clean off.
OH MY GOD. I just moved into my first place (I rent a room but my housemates don’t use the kitchen so it’s mine!) but the oven from the previous tenants is disgusting. I cleaned the stove top and the racks and they look a million times better but I love baking and it’s so sad when I can’t use the oven! So I’m definitely thanking you, I didn’t want to use the oven solutions 🤢
I can't use a lot if chemicals because the smells trigger migraines. As a result a quarter of the bottom of my stove was solid black. It finally occurred to me to try Brillo. 99% of the black on the stove is gone.
I guess you unplugged the oven and unscrewed the heating elements because I see where it goes on the bottom but it’s not there? Much easier than cleaning around it but you didn’t mention it so I was just wondering?
I use “the pink stuff” on my oven doors it works AMAZING! I did a video on it 🙌🏼 I do love your cleaning tips! I always put paper towels down to catch all the yuk too
Pink stuff?
Ya what pink stuff?
@@queenluv8371 yes it’s a cleaning product. They sell it everywhere in the uk. It’s amazing on all sorts of tough stains and non toxic too 😊
I lay a plastic tablecloths from dollar Tree on the floor to catch the mess.
@@queenluv8371it’s literally a product called “The pink stuff” 😊
Wow, perfect timing! Moving to a new apartment in a few days 🙃
Good luck!!
Tried it and it worked perfectly. Thank you!
Thank you so much. I'm so afraid to cleaning oven. Are you sure it's not harmful for burning?ill try to clean like this. 😊👌
I think I love this woman!🥰
When I bought my new oven, I had the tech come out to recalibrate the oven temp gage. When we were talking, he advised not using the self clean on the oven because it shortens the life of the oven. So, clean as much as you can with mild cleaners to keep your oven clean and minimize the self clean feature.
This really works!! I had my doubts but iv never seen my oven cleaner.. took alot of elbow grease 💪 😬
I've been waiting 12 years for this
Yes!!! Now your collection is complete!!
I use the fire place glass cleaner on the oven door and a plastic razor scraper, does an amazing job.
Your question is tough, both my husband and I baked some really good things this year, like bread and Cookies (chocolate chunks is the new chocolate chips, people!), but I think the best goes to my first (and second) time trying to make an apple pie - it was beyond delicious!
Start at 3:24. You're welcome
Yay! The video I have been waiting for from cleanmyspace! 😍🪣🧽
When you're not worried about voiding the warranty your oven's so old 😂
I was thinking that and then I was like if your oven isn't that old and dead already that's a problem!
Yeah warrenties often only last 2 years in Australia. Take that door apart! 😂
@@lauren8627 it's like that where i live too and i think it's ridiculous, like it's acceptable for something like that to stop working after 2 years. I'm not changing my oven every 2 years, who agreed that yes, 2 years is a reasonable amount of warranty to give consumers for a high ticket item 😂🤦♀️
@@mmmmmmolly It's really is sad they 'don't make things how they used to'. So wasteful. Too much high tech electronics and disposable mindset. Oops I just turned into my grandma!
That tends to be when people do indeed remove the door glass and do it themselves...
Thank you for the video I will be cleaning our oven today.
great job!!!! inspiring, y not add white vinegar to your original mix?
"Blue Dawn" and baking soda. I think the "pink" is Dawn too, but Blue is definitely stronger but gentle. It is the same soap used to wash oil-saturated birds in an oil spill. Clean often and use a foil tray in the bottom of the oven to catch any spills. Thanks.
I thought foil in bottom of oven causes uneven heating. But maybe that depends on what type of heating element you have
@@AbbeyOnAtkins Why should you not cook veggies and meat on top/encased in foil? Google it.
@@lynnnelson6689 no I’m talking about foil on the bottom of the oven to keep it clean. Look on the side of the aluminum foil box. (Reynolds)
@@AbbeyOnAtkins I know what you meant. The heating process causes leaching and does not necessarily have to touch food. But, it does enter food as the entire oven becomes toxic. Scientific report. Why take that chance? I want my family safe. A better solution is placing a cookie sheet below whatever container your food is in.
@@lynnnelson6689 oh yick. I hate foil anyways. Now I’m throwing it away! Thank you!
The best thing to come out of my ovens (2020 and before) is always my roast lamb and veggies 😍
I'm so glad to see that you didn't get all residue off. I think it is impossible without going to extreme measures. Our enamel is very dull and chipped off in many places. Next time we will try to find an actual self cleaning gas oven instead of the one we have which is a steam cleaning type. What a joke.
What do you think about using hydrogens peroxide as a cleaning agent?
LEASE CLEAN NEWCASTLE likes this video. Thankyou from lease clean newcastle. Please make more as helps in training.
Thanksgiving dinner! My favorite holiday!
Once, after I cleaned my oven, my husband decided to make South African "boerewors". Three hours after that oven was cleaned (it looked like a brand new oven) it was black all over the inside.
The best thing that came out of the oven this year: homebaked fluffy dinner rolls. In our home we love homebaked bread. But we can't do it often because it's not that healthy.
Ohhh best thing was probably a lasagna! Or more recently some pumpkin pie! Hope your shoulder feels well soon! Btw, there is a way to dismount the oven door, just using the metal hinges. There should be a small hinge at the top of them, flip them, manoeuvre the door a bit, and it comes off very easily! Learned that while cleaning my oven, and it makes reaching the back so much easier, and because your not really taking anything apart, don't think it would void the warranty either 😉
I use baking soda (4 parts) mixed with water(1part) and vinegar2parts) and a little bit of dish soap. Put them in a bowl, it has to be watery. Turn on the oven for 15-20 min .I leave it inside of the bowl, and later when i will use a sponge i will put it on the surface .
Later everything is softer and easily to be removed.For stains that are too difficult i put some baking soda into a soft sponge and it will work.
I use vinegar at the end to clean the oven because baking soda leaves residue. At the end I turn on the oven ,at the max for 15 min so there is nothing harmful left inside and it's safe to use it.
Can you please do a video on cleaning a ceramic top stove and aqua lift self clean oven? We just bought one and I want to clean it properly to keep it looking great. Thanks
Use caution when using this paste as to not push it into any seam crevices as you will not be able to wipe it out of the seams. Later after it dries it will fall out of these crevices as a soapy powder. I used this method two months ago and Am continuously wiping dry residue from these areas, even after using a dry clean toothbrush to try to remove the stuck paste. It worked just be careful where you push the paste.
Awesome video! Do you have a video on how to clean the fruit/crisper drawers in the fridge. I have a Samsung French door fridge and anytime I try to clean in between the drawers I find it so hard to get out the food particles because they're in the glass barrier. Any tips will help... Thank you! 🙏
She does! Look under her clean like a pro playlist and find the cleaning the fridge.
Omg I’ve been waiting for the oven one for 7 years haha I feel so much closure now 🥹
The best thing that came out of my oven this year was a lasagna with handmade pasta sheets big enough for 10 people.
Thank you for this video!
Best thing to come out of my oven is vegan green bean casserole made from scratch. Its so delicious and addicting. But, thanks Melissa for showing a way to clean the oven without the harsh chemicals. My mom can't be around them even if its lemon oven spray its to strong for her asthma. I have asthma so I bear through it and try not to breath so much and open all the doors and windows too to help air out the place. But, it takes a while to let it sit too. So, my mom always has to leave the house for hours at a time while I clean the oven. So, thank you for showing us a more eco-friendly way to deep clean an oven. Appreciate it. I will have to try your version with your product recommendations next time I clean the oven. Thanks. Your the best! Hope your dislocated shoulder gets feeling better soon. Happy Holidays to you and Chad. 😊😁❤❤🥳🎄
Great video! Also I am very sorry to hear about your right arm hope it feels much better soon. Keep up the great work. 🙂💕🙏👍
Thanks! It’s a slow recovery but I’m getting there :)
@@cleanmyspace You're very much welcome! I am glad to hear that it's recovering quite well. 🙏 Also thank you very much for the reply. 🙂
#askmelissa your diy fabric softener won’t ruin a microfiber cloth right?
What was the best thing to come out of your oven in 2020?
I cooked pork belly and omg it was crispy!
Fresh bread!
Cheesy potatoes. And thank you, I'd been waiting 11 years for this video. JK. 😉
Sourdough pizza. Hands down. 🍕😋
