What natural cleaners do you use around your home?

[@jesussavior6383]

nice results bebe

[@gregsfawn]

I have recently found peroxide as a household cleaner, its awesome.. so yes vinegar, baking soda, peroxide , borax and ashing powders.. awesome stuff.

[@londonthompson9730]

It's not completely natural, but... a great cleaning solution. Add equal parts warm white distilled vinegar and blue Dawn dish liquid in a spray bottle. Shake hard until mixed. Spray on bathtub, sinks and water fixtures. Let sit about an hour. Scum and all yuckiness nearly rinses away. This solution is also great on washing walls and floors. Just added water to a very small amount bc it's really concentrated. I found it on Pinterest and have used it for years 😉. I've tried various Dawn liquid. The original blue seems to work the best🤷

Thank you!

[@MsMNnice]

Me, too!

[@sharlietrue2349]

I tried this and it works wonderfully! Don’t feel bad about your oven being dirty it shows how great this works! Thank you for sharing 😊

[@tigeabenton2174]

That’s crazy. Looks brand new. ✨ My hubby always hints The oven needs to be cleaned the oven the oven. I never and hate cleaning it. This motivated me. I want to surprise him lol 😂

[@bbgirl6741]

Oh I’m anxious to hear what his reaction will be Let us know if this really worked for you too.

[@LMFCondon]

Love your written comments. Thank you for being realistic. I have watched a bunch of oven cleaning videos and I am going with your method. 👍

[@Rebecca-gv5gy]

Thanks for showing us that we don't need to let it sit for an entire 12 hours 😅

[@TheKreativeLife]

You're very welcome! 😀

[@honeybee2356]

[@hhholmes714]

It's the transparency and the convincingly way you promote natural cleaning for me!🙋👍

[@TheKreativeLife]

Awesome! Thank you so much!

[@veronicadicent5440]

This video came to my rescue! Thank you for showing us how to clean our oven with healthy products love it!!! Feel more confident now!!

[@TheKreativeLife]

I'm glad that it helped!

[@gingersnaptrack9337]

Thank you, so much. It was time to clean my long overdue put-off oven cleaning and I used your method. It cleaned up great. No more expensive oven cleaners with nasty chemicals. I just love it.

[@TheKreativeLife]

Glad it helped!

After that intro I had no choice but to subscribe.

[@Redboy4]

Just wanted to let you know that I used your instructions (minus the lemon bcuz I didn't have any) the night before Thanksgiving bcuz the oven was so dirty it would smoke and I knew what was gonna happen when I cooked for T-giving. Anyway, I made the paste but had to use straight water mixed with baking soda, then let it sit for 20 mins as I was in a rush, then I poured the white vinegar (no spray bottle either tho that would have worked best, less clean up), and let that sit for 15 mins. Because I didn't have a spray bottle I had to pour the vinegar on, which meant I couldn't close the door otherwise it would have drained on the floor. Hence, I didn't want to let the oven door open that long so I shortened up the vinegar soak time. Anyway, I used a little scrubber like yours and most of that junk came right off. Even without the lemon and letting mine sit for less time, I was quite happy with the result. Though there are a few tiny spots here and there, it worked like a charm, and I didn't have to scrub that hard or for very long. Worked great on the window, too. Really glad I found your post, it saved the day for us.

[@TheKreativeLife]

I'm sorry for the late reply. I just saw your comment. I'm so glad that it worked for you! Now I think I may try it out on my windows too. Thanks for the tip!

[@michelledavis9368]

Im so glad you put this because i dont have any spray bottles and i was thinking how in the heck am i gonna do this. She made this look so easy tho.

[@Kelli_D.]

I just use a hand held steamer - it cleans and sanitizes with out any chemicals or gross smells ( A lot of people can't stand the smell of vinegar) it takes less time and less elbow grease! Been doing mine that way for 10 years I raised birds and still have my pet Parrot and I can't use chemicals or an auto cleaner on the oven.... works like a charm I use it on everything - from the oven, to stove top, sinks, faucets, counter tops, fridge, freezer, toilet, tubs and showers, my kitchen table I bought mine at Aldi's grocery store for $20 they're sold just about every where even online I've even seen them for $10 to 15 bucks. doesn't need to be anything fancy either :) I do have a question though why is it everyone who makes these videos always starts with putting the "cleaner" on the door, knowing they have to actually get into the stove to put it on there, then you wear half (or more) of what you put on the door lol why not do the door last :)

[@TheKreativeLife]

Hi, Kelli! I never thought about using a hand steam cleaner. That sounds like a great idea. I'll have to see if I can find one and try it out. I like completely cleaning the door first because if I lean in without cleaning it, I may get the grease and food residue on my clothes. I've never made a mess this way, but I have seen some who have. Putting on a cleaning apron may also be a solution for them. Thank you so much for watching!

[@ToniWall]

Do you mean the kind of handheld steamer that you would use for steaming clothes? That sounds like a great idea!

[@karlajimenezrodas2910]

wow thank you for this helpful tutorial! I have been searching for one that wouldn't take me longer than an hour as it will probably need to get used tonight for dinner and I can't be sitting around for twelve hours so I'm happy I came across this. Def. subscribing!

[@TheKreativeLife]

Glad I could help!

[@downtownon7thavenue]

Your oven...amazing. My oven was a hot mess from the holiday. I just cleaned mine 2 weeks ago. Great video. Thank you for sharing.

[@TheKreativeLife]

Thank you, Downtown on 7th Avenue Handbag Adventures! I put off cleaning mine because I didn't want to deal with it. Lol

[@51Saffron]

My bottom doesn't get dirty because I cover my oven racks with foil. I usually put one of the racks on the last groove near the bottom of the oven floor and it collects all the crap. However the sides and door is always dirty so this helps a lot.

[@TheKreativeLife]

Hi, 51Saffron! I definitely have to use foil next time around the holidays. Thank you for the tip and I'm glad that you found this video useful!

[@mrsmincey9731]

By far the BEST OVEN CLEANING VIDEO 😁 (I'm OCD a little lol)

My oven is a hot mess too! I hate cleaning it because of the fumes, but I'll definitely try this.

Great job! Thanks for posting

[@MsMNnice]

Wow! I thought the only way to really get this oven clean was using commercial oven cleaners. I didn't think the natural route would work for an oven. This is great! Thank you!

[@TheKreativeLife]

You are so welcome!

[@karin0963]

Thank you! I am going to try this now.

[@Lovingthemarriedlife]

I will definitely use the ingredients you've listed. I always hated cleaning my oven because of the harmful chemicals. I will be moving next month and need this oven to be spotless. Thanks!

[@TheKreativeLife]

The fumes from store bought products have always bothered me, Lovingthemarriedlife. This one works great!

[@LukasHappyworld]

This natural oven cleaner looks looks so good, it did it job perfect something to try and make at home. Thanks for sharing this idea, sending Monthly love.

You're welcome, MysElegance! I hope you like it!

[@dlkacz]

Worked like a charm. I used the self clean cycle which does a fantastic job, but it never gets the edges or window. This concoction did the trick and saved a lot of scrubbing. Thanks for the video. 👍

Thanks for making a very helpful (& entertaining) DIY Vid!! My oven is a "self-cleaning" oven but it never does a thorough job & they say never to use chemical cleaner in a self-cleaning oven, but I'm sure your mixture will work wonders! Thanks again!

[@TheKreativeLife]

Khrystle Ooo, you're welcome! This mixture works really well. I hope you like it!

Wow! That worked so well! Gotta try it!!

[@TheKreativeLife]

It works great, Meg O.! Let me know how you like it, if you get a chance to try it.

[@lauraellen189]

Wow. I make a natural counter and floor cleaner with vinegar. I put orange peel cloves cinnamon lavender or whatever herbs or spices I want in a mason jar and cover with vinegar. Store in pantry for two or three weeks giving it a shake every couple days. Makes a pleasant smelling all purpose cleaner.

[@TheKreativeLife]

That sounds awesome, Laura Ellen! I'll definitely have to try that out!!!

[@lauraellen189]

I can't wait to try yours. My oven is baaaad! :)

[@LooseSeeds]

This looks like something I’d really love to try...to pass on to someone else to do. Lol. That before and after was dramatic though. I know it had to be very satisfying to get it done. Nice job. (-Mommy Seed, Nikki)

[@TheKreativeLife]

I wish I could pass it on to someone else, Loose Seeds! I guess when my kids get older, this can be left for them to do. Lol

[@linkedinroses9447]

Thank you I haven’t cleaned mine in 13 years because I’m burnt the elements so many times and it’s costly but I’m going to try again because you showed how ez it is …. Thank you so much

[@helenpetersen7174]

Heavy Duty aluminum foil the bottom under the element, it will make your cleaning much easier. Thank you for that recipe. :D

[@TheKreativeLife]

Good to know! Thank you for the tip!

[@savapilo8882]

It does make your cleaning easier but is not good for your health because the heating of aluminum releases particles and it gets into your food. Keep in mind that aluminum is a neurotoxin, and it’s been linked to Alzheimer’s and a bunch of other diseases, even cancer. I personally avoid aluminum in all of my cook ware. I threw away my aluminum pans years ago when I learned about this and even started to use aluminum-free deodorants since the aluminum in deodorants have also been linked to breast cancer. I wish everyone was aware of these type of harms in our lives. We all deserve to live a happy and a healthy life..

[@bbgirl6741]

Thanks for that info I was thinking about that if it was safe to use aluminum foil to line oven. It’s harmful to our health that’s what I thought. Wish wasn’t in alot of things we use in our lives that we have no clue of.

[@BiggerThanTheThreeOfUs]

I need to do this asap!

[@TheKreativeLife]

Hi, Bigger Than The Three Of Us! I always end up putting oven cleaning off.

[@yasminhabibti721]

Well detailed. Does the aluminum ball thing scratch the glass door?

[@TheKreativeLife]

Hi, Yasmin habibi! The steel wool doesn't scratch the glass. Thank you for watching!

[@NarutoFMAgirl13]

I'm definitely going to try this. We have a self cleaning mode on our oven but since I've never cleaned the oven (I keep putting it off since I don't know how to do it yet) it's a hazard to use the self cleaning mode. Trying a steam bath to get some of the gunk off but with a year's worth of gunk in there I don't have high hopes XD thank-you for this great cleaning method really hoping it works for me ^.^

[@TheKreativeLife]

Hi, Jenny C - Canadian Mommy! I waited a while to clean mine too and this works wonders. I hope it works for you.

Done the door so far and it worked amazingly ^.^ Just need my baby to go to sleep so I can finish the rest.

Thank you for showing me how to clean my oven. I’m afraid to use the self-cleaner because the oven gets so hot I’m afraid it will start a fire.

[@TheKreativeLife]

Hi, Toni Wall! You're very welcome!

[@batman1169]

I did this method from another channel, I just wanted to see if it was pretty much the same method. It was. What I did was make that paste. Apply let sit for 4 hours, Came back, spay down with 3 parts to one water in a spray bottle. it then foamed up and I used bush on it. Good luck hope it worked as this video is 2 month old. Most manufactures do no recommend the self clean feature, I see many videos of people said it fried the CPU on the oven it was not covered and the price was better to get a new one.

[@richardatkinson1902]

Do you have any tips for cleaning an oven door and glass cover that opens out instead of down?

[@man4YAWEH454]

Another note for everyone. I personally place alumimun foil on the bottom after I clean the oven which saves me time when I clean.

[@bbgirl6741]

Now they have oven liners wonder if it’s safe to put aluminum foil in oven tho 🤔

Do you have trick for cleaning the glass door, between the glass and the gauge?

[@justsayin1756]

Omg lol my oven!

[@debbieann4479]

Great solution! I wonder if before you do that you were to warm the oven first, like put it at 250 degrees, then shut it off, and when cooled some, do your procedure. You might need to scrub less.

[@TheKreativeLife]

Hi, Debbie Ann! That sounds like a great idea!

[@michelledavis9368]

Wow that looked so easy. How do you keep the mix from leaving a powder film look

[@TheKreativeLife]

It comes off with a wet rag.

[@113tidbits]

Do you think lining the bottom of the oven with heavy duty aluminum foil will help keep it from getting so cruddy over time?

[@bbgirl6741]

It’s not safe to use aluminum foil chemicals come out of it as it heats. Might pick up crumbs n less cleaning but u make the call.

[@trueguru6570]

the steel wool didn't scratch the glass ? awesome

[@joliewest9535]

Which ingredients were used

[@iiqulo]

That did look a lot better at the end. I wonder if a self-cleaning oven would be even easier. Did you really get all that done with just one scrubber?

[@TheKreativeLife]

Hi, The Electronic Emotions Program! I like this method because there are no fumes and it doesn't require my oven to be on. Yes, one scrubber did all of this and I used a sponge to get up excess water.

[@bindaykang3326]

I need to try Ths which vinegar do I use cleaning vinegar or white cooking vinegar?

[@bbgirl6741]

That’s what I wanna know I only have distilled vinegar is that the same as white vinegar ?

[@Smile-gk5od]

Does the scrubber scratch the glass? If not what type of scrubber is it?

[@TheKreativeLife]

Hi, Eulalee! The scrubber doesn't scratch the glass. Here is a link to where you can find some: amzn.to/2Ayckmw.

[@robinschienle2027]

I have a self cleaning oven but I have many birds and don't want to use the self cleaning cycle or chemicals to clean the oven. I don't think I can use thr scrubber you used bc of the special coating in a self cleaning oven. Would you agree ?

[@blissful.1153]

How about under the top inside where is accumulated most the grass? Can I spray it as well ? Thanks!

[@TheKreativeLife]

Yes, the spray works there as well.

How much vinegar?

[@stewdogg42]

Very helpful. Thank you!

[@TheKreativeLife]

You're welcome!

[@ireneadler9470]

Thank you! Maybe a weird question, but does the steel wool not cause scratches? I’ve always been told not to use scratchy stuff to do oven glass cause it would crack.

[@TheKreativeLife]

It hasn't caused visible scratches yet, but I don't see why a softer material won't work as well. Thank you for watching!

[@babyyoda9459]

I’m sorry but I never saw you use the vinegar. When do we have to add that in ? You said to save for later.

[@TheKreativeLife]

The vinegar is added in the water bottle after the scrub is wiped onto the oven.

Add aluminum foil to the bottom can keep it clean longer then it's only spot treating.
