Oven Self Cleaning Option
I know you can use the self-cleaning feature on most ovens. I personally decided to opt-out of that option for a couple of reasons.
One, as I mentioned, I wanted my oven to be clean and I wanted it to be clean now. I know that if I would have waited for a convenient time to turn the self-cleaner on, I would have continued to put it off.
Two, I don’t like the smell and the heat.
Three, I don’t like that you have to stay in the house and keep an eye on it. Again, the process is just long and drawn out and I wanted it to get done.
And Fourthly, you should really take caution when using your self-cleaning oven option. It’s not always the safest choice.
How to Clean Oven Racks
What you need:
- the vinegar cleaner you made previously
- baking soda
- stainless steel scrubber
- washcloth
- small bowl
Step to cleaning your oven racks:
- Put some baking soda into your bowl and pour some of your vinegar cleaning mixture into the bowl as well. Mix it up.
- Place one oven rack across your sink.
- Spray the oven rack with the vinegar cleaning solution.
- Take your stainless steel scrubber and dip it into the baking soda mixture you just made.
- Scrub all parts of your oven rack with the stainless steel scrubber.
- Rinse your oven racks.
- Let the oven racks dry and then place them back in your oven.
It’s really that easy. I found this way faster than letting the oven racks sit in your bathtub overnight. Plus, you are now avoiding the nightmare of cleaning the oven rack gunk out of your tub.
Final Steps to Clean the Oven
Since you are here and took all that time and elbow grease to clean up your oven, you might as well end with a bang. Finish up with this list:
- Put your new oven liner in the oven so cleaning the oven in the future will be easier for you.
- Pull everything out of the oven drawer and wipe the drawer clean.
- Use a glass cleaner or stainless steel cleaner to wipe down the outside of the oven. If you don’t have a stainless steel oven then a multi-purpose cleaning spray will work great.
- Go all in and clean the stove top as well or save that task for another day because you just worked hard on this oven!
