oven cleaning

[pavel131]

A goodly tip for keeping ovens easy to clean.
Bicarbonate of soda; pour a tablespoon into a container. mix into a paste with water, and then spread it on the surfaces of your oven panels. It looks messy, but believe me that when the next time you come to clean the oven, you will not have to use the spray oven cleaner. Just soapy water and the baked on residue, comes off in a jif

bicarb used in the right quantity is a really good cleaner for lots of things, insides of flasks to carpets. It can also be used to reduce smells, some folk put bicarb in a container in a fridge for this reason, also reduces the smell of vomit on fabric fibre like settee. Sorry for that yuk, must be because you brought up the subject of my least favourite task - oven cleaning.

Would this work on a glass oven door. I have tried loads of cleaning products none of them are that good on glass. It would be great if it worked, i hate those really harsh chemicals

Coffee is also a good deodoriser (sp) for the fridge.

Pop bicarb in old pop sock or tights foot and leave in stinky shoes and the odour will be gone.
Yes bicarb will work on oven door (check a small area first)

If you have a decanter or vase that you cant get your hands in to clean then stick some salt in cold water and swoosh around, works everytime.

Sorry but cleaning stuff is my favourite subject

Have to say I found this thing called 'ovendoorshield' (as seen on dragons den or something) and it's FAB. It really helps. just Google it and you can find info about it.
