This video gave me the courage to finally deep clean my oven. It looks almost new now!

[@CleanThatUp]

That is so awesome to hear, well done!

[@cilla4000]

How is his place this dirty?!

[@Heidi-Beth]

Send me the oven cleaning vibes😂

[@tybooskie]

Oven mats, wiping the door after each use, and wiping the interior after I cook something steamy has kept my oven pretty clean for the last 2 years. Wiping the door was a habit I got from my mom. I picked up the mats on a whim at the dollar store and holy cow was that a life changing decision. I started wiping the inside after spilling something once and realizing how easy it was to clean the sides while they were still steamy. Outside of spills, I have not cleaned my oven like this in 2 years.

[@kakefyll]

good tip but what about splatter on the sides?

[@sarahmorris6765]

I’m a pro cleaner too and it’s so refreshing to see someone using actual cleaning products to show people how to clean rather than telling people to use products where they shouldn’t be used.

[@CleanThatUp]

Thanks Sarah!!

[@travisyarbrough4033]

VERY true !!!!!!

[@roxanneperez4982]

The oven door that comes off literally saved my back and neck😩😭 and I thank you so very much Mr. Helpful tips clean that up sir😂💯❤

[@land1983]

40 years old and just learning about baking soda and vinegar cancelling each other out. Thank you for the guidance! :)

[@chickenvilla]

The dishwasher pod trick for the oven racks was brilliant. The grease melted right off after an hour of soaking and only needed minimal scrubbing to finish cleaning them right up. Thanks!

[@CleanThatUp]

Love it!

[@whatsthedileo]

Thank you. Finally someone that addresses the fact that baking soda and vinegar neutralize each other.

[@MW-rb3ny]

I’ve been following along with your 30 days and I’m shocked how dirty my house was!! Thank you for the inspiration, knowledge, and motivation!!

[@anthonygardner400]

Just found your channel and love it. Never in a million years thought I’d binge watch cleaning videos, but you got me! Thanks. (And my house thanks you too 😊)

[@CleanThatUp]

Hi Anthony!! Yay! Thank you! Stay tuned for more cool videos :)

[@elaineberger879]

Same here! And he shows how to clean rather than lecturing on why not to use something.

[@hannah1234xo]

Thank you for this video! I have only cleaned an oven once and no one has ever showed me how to clean an oven before. I now feel more confident I can do it on my own. Thank you :)

[@AvaJun]

My lazy @$$ just put vinegar and water in an oven safe glass container and heat it in the oven at 180 degrees for an hour or two, use a microfiber rag and wipe it down. I do it once every two weeks so my oven stays looking brand new. (I'm lazy and also very cheap 😆😆😆)

[@BreakingYarn]

Does this work to get off grease too or just to maintain after it’s cleaned?

[@CleanThatUp]

Not lazy! Sounds like cleaning smarter and not harder. Great tip!

[@CleanThatUp]

I would say this is a great maintenance cleaning method once’s it’s been deep cleaned. In the case of this oven it needed to be deep cleaned first to remove the years of grease and grime.

[@AvaJun]

@@CleanThatUp yes, definitely for maintenance. I've done it since it was new when we bought it and it's from another decade 😁 I just can't see myself buying new stuff if my old stuff is in good condition. My husband used to repair and sell upcycled appliances so it kind of stuck with us to take care of everything we own. Money saved is money earned 😁

[@DressWithMe32]

Not lazy, but genius!! Thank you!! ❤️❤️

[@BeingRomans829ed]

THANK YOU! THANK YOU!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 For showing me how to take the door off! Years ago you could just put the oven in the broil position and lift straight up and it would come off. They don't do that now, so I thought there was no easy way to take the door off. Thank you so much for showing me those latches!

[@michymoo839]

Wow - the method for cleaning the racks is incredibly useful. I was astonished at how effective it was.

[@oiputthatback7361]

What a lovely brother and an appreciative sister. 😍

[@stephanieori464]

Of course the algorithm would bring this video up, the SAME day I finally decide to clean my oven 😂 the door removal is such a great tip!! Thank you!!

[@Lornicopia]

This is very helpful and very specific which is important! I cleaned my oven earlier in the year and didn't get magical results but it was better. I like how you noted to do it more than one time and also to use a razor blade. I also think I will try the zep. I have done the baking soda clean which worked about the same as any other cleaner. I can see by watching you that technique and timing matter and it's good to see that effort clearly illustrated! The idea of dish pods for the racks and using a storage tub to soak them is also brilliant! My stove is probably from the early 80's! It came with the house and is double wide with a proofing oven on the side and a large space in the middle of the burners. It would be hard to find a good replacement!

[@colettemcwilliams1325]

I bought my home in 2017. I would rather have your old stove with the proofing oven. We both need to take care of what we have.😊

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

On older stove tops, with burners, that razor scraping tool works wonders in take on any baked-on food. Just get the angle on the blade right and don't scratch top.

[@elizabethm5422]

I just discovered your channel. It’s great!! I work a lot of hours and don’t have extra time. Your tips will help me not waste time

[@CleanThatUp]

Thanks so much for watching! Happy to help!

[@marciaann4432]

Thank you so much for this step by step process…now I am ready to clean my oven!!!

[@crazyfox6832]

Well, you have a new subscriber. 😎 This video is very informative. I can tell you are very efficient and practical with your approach. Ty for making this kind of informative content. This will be a game changer, I cook and clean non stop. So, stuff like this is important and helpful to me. Keep up the good work.

[@nancie7487]

It looks brand-new!!❤

[@suemeyer7551]

The Cascade dishwasher tabs worked great on the racks!

[@armidaleconcrete]

Works a treat on oven shelves. Ours were filthy with baked on grease. 2 hours later were shiny clean. Thank you.

[@tgawron2233]

Great oven cleaning video. My oven was so bad that it took a long time to clean it. I put on my calender 3 x during the year to clean the oven so it wont get to bad.

[@CleanThatUp]

That’s a great idea! Thanks for watching 🙂

[@ajarnt9050]

Oh, my gosh. The "before" looks like my oven. I'm terrified of the work ahead of me but also curious to give it a shot. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@shar7508]

Loved your sister’s acting and you cracking up😂

[@DJDJ-ek9tu]

Was taught by my mom to take a 9x13 cake pan and put a towel in it, fill with ammonia until the towel is covered. Turn your oven on the lowest setting, let heat up and then turn off. Let it sit overnight and the next morning wipe it out. You can also put you burner grates, rings, etc in a cover pan of ammonia and let it sit overnight and with a green scrubby go over each piece. Have been doing this since the 1980’s and it works like a champ 😊. Dollar Tree sells bottles of ammonia for $1.25 pretty cheap cleaner. You can also take an ammonia soaked towel and lay it on your stove stop and let it set several hours to clean off the brunt on stuff. 😊

[@IMOO1896]

Awesome, I saw you on shorts and came here to see how you cleaned the door. Great job!

[@CleanThatUp]

Thanks for stopping by and watching! 🙂

[@sharonphillips5282]

You got me cleaning my oven now. Thank you!

[@CleanThatUp]

awesome! happy cleaning!

[@lindseyjane2644]

Helpful video! I’d love to see one on how to properly mop your floors. I feel like no matter what I do they’re never fully clean!

[@CleanThatUp]

Thanks so much for watching! That’s a great idea for a vid, adding it to my list.

[@missycaughman1868]

Yes please!!! Following.

[@Shaza-fj3fz]

That video was very useful. 👌 Thank you 😊

[@user-yc1mc4bu6q]

My GE microwave from 2005 finally crapped out. At first kzbin.infoUgkxO_Bc204MGjxDl87cOKcdgaRhzSqGmv_g I was unsure because I was looking for something with the exact same features. Found it with this one. Interior space cavity was large, but the outside was smaller than my old one. I love the one-button push for 1-6 minutes, and the 30 second add or 30 second start. and MOST IMPORTANTLY, I love how you can adjust the power level during cooking. The reviews said it could not be done, but this marked all the other boxes. and happy to say, it does. I can hit 1 minute start, and change the power level from 10 to 5, 30 seconds in, without interruption. my favorite feature!

[@nayadetgonzalez5958]

Another great video.I didn't know that you can remove the door. THANKS.

[@codapham9359]

Thank you so much for great cleaning tips. Also, we didn’t know the oven door can be taken off so easily.

[@artyb27]

Man there's something so contagious about your seemingly genuine excitement about how clean you can get things. That laugh at the end is just 👌🏻👌🏻 Appreciate the oven in this video doesnt have any stove knobs since its a built-in, but do you have any tips for how to tackle those? Especially the white ones once they've started to yellow? I'm aware retrobrighting is a thing but I can't justify building a retrobrighting setup purely to clean some oven knobs haha

[@joshmartin7558]

😂😂😂😂 The back part had me cracking up because I was just complaining about my back when I was leaning over screwing with the dang thing

[@marciaann4432]

Oh my Goodness! That is unbelievable!!!! 😍

[@maxuntonodo2685]

63 years on this planet and I had no idea the oven door came off. Thank you.

[@nancie7487]

I'm 67, and my oven is a 1981, and my oven door doesn't come off !😢

[@0331clif]

Crazy you posted this today. I was just looking at my oven and thinking "I need to clean this, I don't know how"

[@CleanThatUp]

Perfect timing! You got this!

[@QualeHouse]

This was so helpful!! Also I would LOVE to see how to clean a gas oven with the big grates on top! It’s so tough to get all the stuck on grease off all the little parts it has on top under the grates! And the grates are so greasy but are like a cast iron material! I’ve tried so many things!!

[@CleanThatUp]

Thanks so much for watching! Gas oven/cook top is on the video list. We just need to find a dirty one. 🙂

[@hilhaswheels]

​@@CleanThatUpthen come on over to my house! 😂 (jk, cleaning it right now!)

[@jessb2337]

Soak the grates in a trash bag full of ammonia and let the bag sit out in the sun for a couple of hours and it will all come off.

[@RachelSWhite]

Pro tip from a pro cleaner: if going with the heavy chemical method (easy off or other brands), spray, then lay painters plastic or in a pinch garbage bags over the sprayed areas. It speeds up the process and helps keep fumes at bay just a little bit.

[@jenniferbrent3210]

We need a demo on this!

[@debbieapostol7783]

Thanks for the step by step directions! Did you take the heating element out? I didn’t see when that happened. Good job!

[@ithacacomments4811]

I had an old Tappan stove for years....era 1960s? The inside of the oven was lined with liftaway panels. Once a year, I dismantelled the oven and placed the panels and racks outside on the lawn. I sprayed everything with oven cleaner and left it it to soak in the sun for a while. A quick rinse with the garden hose and everything sparkled! Great oven design!!!

[@tybooskie]

I used to have a stove where the bottom was removable. I miss it so much.

[@barryholley7679]

Omfg finally someone who knows how to clean a real real dirty oven thank god im a 25 year pro cleaner so thank you thank you xxxx

Thanks so much for watching!

[@mommabird2813]

We have a cockatiel, we tend to stay away from harsh cleaners. With the exception of Zep kitchen cleaner because well it’s the kitchen. I have always used vinegar, water, Dawn spray to pretty much clean everything in my house including her cage😂🤷‍♀️oven too.

[@cloudt4181]

Love your channel thanks!

[@kelctines]

Thanks for linking all your products you used! Can you please link the tub you use to put the oven racks in?

Really Good & Fun & Funny!!

[@snp41390]

I have been looking FOREVER for someome to legit show me how to actually get the oven clean. It keeps getting worse. Every other video i have watched they spray mystery cleaner and then skip to the wiping it off part and its magically cleaned. I've tried everything. But this video is exactly what i needed for my oven so thank you very much for all the details. I started following you on your Amazon link.

[@CleanThatUp]

I"m glad I could help Sherrie! Thanks for watching!

[@francellew2073]

Wow, after watching the "before" pictures I feel better. My oven barely have any grease, but I want to keep it like brand new. My husband baked the other night and made I mess. I will try that cleaning product, it seems practical. Question, when do you actually use the "self clean" option on your oven? Just curious.

[@lasanallien6657]

Looks amazing!

[@CleanThatUp]

Thank you!

[@elizabethashford361]

I'm in ❤ thank you!!

[@sofiejensen3804]

You are my new hero! We bought a house and it needs to be cleaned a lot!! BTW how did you get the cloth clean again?

[@robindaniels2987]

Are you able to just wash the cloths after with the gunk and oven cleaner on them or do they get trashed? Great video. I just found your channel and I’m hooked!!! Great video!!

[@user-ci5si8jz5h]

Great video

[@BrianOfAteionas]

36 years old, and over 7 years in my apartment and I finally cleaned the oven. I may have taken some liberties when it comes to procedure (i.e. wet sanding the wire racks with 1500 grit sand paper). but y'know, it turned out pretty good. Thanks man.

[@latoyabaker131]

Great job

[@michaelmode]

Thanks B!

[@deanmason4714]

What about the top part where the grill element is, should the element be removed or try to clean around it.

I watched this video after I had already cleaned my oven. Nice to know that i could have taken the door off! 😄

[@chantalst-jean3355]

How would you get rid of the fume smell after using heavy duty easy off?

[@vanessahobbes3072]

Thank you for this. I’m a new first time homeowner and I have never in my life cleaned an oven. I kept putting it off since I moved in because I had bad anxiety that I was going to do something wrong.

What kind of scraper should I use so it doesn't scratch? Ty :)

[@patriciacushing7448]

We purchased a gas stove from FB Market Place and the outside looked great in the pictures, however that was exactly what the inside looked like! It took me a whole weekend to clean it. lol 😂 wish I had had that Zap cleaner 🧽

[@ithacacomments4811]

I have lived in my apartment for eleven years. I have never cleaned my oven ....it is spotless. My plan from day one was...."don't make a mess in the oven while cooking.... ever." I place a large aluminum tray under whatever I am cooking. Once a year, I recycle it and buy a new one.

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

don't the sides and top get dirty??

[@angelagraebner1888]

Brandon-what do you do if food drips onto the heating element? Are there any safety precautions I need to take into account, is just a damp cloth okay?

[@user-ci5si8jz5h]

Nice video so helpful

[@CleanThatUp]

Glad it was helpful!

[@holted1984]

What about the ceiling under the top element, how do we get in there?

[@vhoov2218]

Remind people to protect their floor! I use newspaper. Also, I like to keep the door open so the cleaner doesn’t drip - use duct tape to seal off the light switch.

[@jesusloveisthegreatestpower]

omg, you are so awesome (and handsome). My oven looks brand new now. Thank you.

[@cyndywise172]

Just found you videos and have a question. I was cleaning my oven the other day and noticed there is dust, like dust bunnies, in between the 2 glass panels on my oven door. How do I clean in between the glass?

Can i use a pumice stone on the glass door? Super clean oven wow!

[@kdavis5088]

The scrub mommy paste also works well. Do you have a video on how you clean your cleaning tools?

[@CleanThatUp]

I’m not yet but soon!

[@MrVantagev12]

My oven repair man suggested using Barkeeper’s Friend - thoughts on that vs baking soda?

[@CleanThatUp]

I absolutely love Bar Keepers Friend! It can work well for ovens. If you have a lot of grease I might suggest using a degreaser before to break down the grime. Then rinse and come through with BKF.

[@christinapalomino4338]

Is there a safe way to dispose of the grease from your scrubbers and towels afterwards?

[@gearheadpatriot3709]

Personally, I use a spatula to remove most of it and trash it. You never want to put it down the drain. Then go on to paper towels for the worst and follow up with your sponge and rags.

[@alicea5]

I’m afraid to spray Zep since my oven floor has opening. But now I know the oven door can be taken off. I’ll try that.

[@celinescrappassion2184]

do you have tips to clean between the two glass windows of the over door?

[@francescastevens3777]

Hi Brandon, from a cold and snowy London in England, UK! 🥶 Do you have any tips on how to clean the top part of inside an oven please? In all the videos of “how to clean an oven”, not one of them has ever even mentioned this part. I have mobility problems and find trying to work around the heating element very difficult. Any help hints or tips you may have would be very much appreciated! 😊 Saturday 17th December 2022 - 18:20 GMT

[@CleanThatUp]

Hello, it’s actually snowing by me here in Wisconsin, US! That’s a great question. In most cases I will scrub and wipe down the best I can given the space. Unfortunately I have any hacks for that part (yet). Let me think on it a little more and see if I come up with anything. Thanks so much for watching, stay warm! 🙂

How do you clean that ring around the door ? Can that come off ? I just bought a used electric stove and the oven has that ring or cloth thing around the door .. I’m thinking it’s to keep the heat in. Well the one on my stove is filthy and not sure how to clean it

Great video! I know your microfiber towels are reusable, but how do you clean them after a job like this?

[@CleanThatUp]

Good question! I tend to use one or two of my older ones for the really greasy stuff. Wipe rinse in the sink and repeat. Once the job is done I rinse them multiple times to remove all the grease and grime. Then I will wash using this method- www.cleanfreakweekly.com/p/wash-microfiber-towels

I am a housecleaner for a gal who doesn’t use anything but eco friendly and nothing that smells. She also doesn’t clean so her oven is black. Does the zep smell? How long did it take you to clean it with baking soda? Thanks 🙏

[@physicaltech12]

Iam curious. What do you do with the sponges and the cleaning towels you used in that video? You throw them to the trash or clean them?. If so, how do you clean them?

[@CleanThatUp]

Good question! Lots of rinsing with water to remove the cleaner and grease/grime. The towels wash up really well as long as you don’t let the cleaner/grime dry in them. I usually can get quite a bit of life out the sponges by keeping them rinsed.
