cleaning your oven without harsh chemicals
There are plenty of oven cleaners on the market, but if you’ve ever gagged and wheezed your way through cleaning your oven, you know that the fumes can be unpleasant to say the least. Good news - there’s a better way!
To clean your oven more easily, pour 1/2 cup of ammonia into a glass or ceramic bowl and place in a cool, closed oven. Leave it overnight, and in the morning, use paper towels or a sponge to remove all the soil. If there are some spots that persist, scrub gently with a fine grade steel wool. Rinse with a sponge dipped in warm, soapy water. It works just as well as pricy oven cleaners, and the fumes are much easier to tolerate.
