I love that you let your oven actually get dirty to show how well the cleaner works. Don't y'all hate channels that do these "cleaning" videos and the items aren't even dirty? Thanks for being real ladies! Tip: I take my racks out, put cleaner on them and place them in a black thick lawn care trash bag. Set outside in the sun, wait about an hour and you can rinse away the gunk with a water hose. Effortless!

Yes, it was a mess because we had been processing tallow almost everyday for a week. Nothing gets your oven greasier than melting pure fat. We just made a oven rack video that uses a trash sack and laundry soap. kzbin.info/www/bejne/op_QgHynh7WdbqM I'll have to try this method and show everyone how well it works.

Not if you stay on top of it, and wipe it clean ( two seconds ) after every use. Whoever allows their whole oven to get encrusted with months or years of burnt on mess, deserves this impossible chore. My oven us 10 years old, AND PERFECTLY SHINY INSIDE.

it would be less work if they used water instead of vinegar to make a paste. even less work if they used washing soda instead of baking soda, though they'd probably want to wear gloves then. If you're going to use the foamy reaction of vinegar and baking soda to help with cleaning, only use it when one or the other has already been applied to the item you're cleaning.

[@dailyfilmfix469]

Ladies you did a great job and the oven looks brand new! My oven is so dirty that I couldn't get it clean using a sandblaster with diamond dust, but I will certainly give your method a try. I tried baking soda with lemon juice and it didn't do much except make a mess!!

My oven is 10 years old currently and gets heavy daily use. Looks almost exactly how it did when new. My nanna always wiped hers out with just white vinegar on a clean towelling rag while the oven was still a bit warm after every use for cooking. I have done the same for over 20 years. It takes a few minutes. No smells either. Oven never gets bad enough to have to scrub hard. I also line my oven floor with foil for preventing any baked on spills. Your mix is similar to mine. I use it for shower glass and tiles. Best thing ever. Especially for hard water stains/limescale.

Most oven doors are removable. Mines 21 years old and mine do. I discovered it quite accidentally. That way your door is able to be cleaned separately on a flat surface. Then it also makes the oven itself accessible without the door in your way. Also I bought an oven liner that helps. God Bless

One suggestion, to make things a bit easier, most ovens have a lift-off door. You can tell by looking at the hinge. With the door open, you literally lift the hinges and the door will unhook. If you’re going through the process (maybe, once yearly) you can remove the 4 screws on the inside of the door and access the inside to clean the interior of the glass.

Good idea. I just watched a man clean an oven. He used a plastic spatula to scoop off the debris before wiping with a rag. Worked. Also, maybe clean the door first, then the front of the oven next before working on the sides and back; that way, you won't be dipping your elbows (and hair and clothes) into the "goo" you just soaked off the oven door!

I used to do that as well. A lot of the ovens now (mine included) have a hidden element. (It is under the "floor".) If you put aluminum foil on this is will literally melt and be nearly impossile to remove.

I did try the vinegar ,dish soap n baking soda when I use this it was oh my goodness it really made my oven clean .This method is all natural n responable on money . It took me by myself about 2- hours I took my time .I got this information from a different app. You'll should give this a try .

[@maleka58]

Thanks you ladies. I have a Miele Ovan. It cleans itself perfectly, doesn’t smell it is even made out of stainless steel that does not get fingerprint marks, or anything on it.

[@WisdomPreserved]

Thanks for sharing! It sounds like a great oven.

[@KayeCarterTV]

Great 👍🏼 job. Will try this method soon. Thank you for sharing. Sending hugs prayers and kindness. ❤️👍🏼🙏🏼

[@margaretkinnaman8585]

I used this "old fashioned" method ( I have asthma and am sensitive to nasty chemicals so I love the no nasty chemicals way ) to clean a really grimy oven in my apartment when I moved in. The guys that cleaned & painted before I moved in, apparently never heard of cleaning an oven. It was pretty bad.

[@wallyworld6249]

You two are awesome that's great to teach others how to do this with household products that are pretty much non-toxic. A suggestion that I thought of was using a cheap paint brush to dab on the solution. May Jesus Christ bless you both during this holiday Christmas season

[@WisdomPreserved]

I think that is a great idea.

Hi guys I watched your video and I try it and my oven is cleaner than it has been thank you so much

Hi Marie!!! What a nice surprise!I'm loving your etsy store and crochet talents. I love the fact that you are also a nurse and Mom and student. You inspire me soooo much. I will start Torch the dragon soon . you are a domestic goddess.

[@WisdomPreserved]

Adrienne, I am so glad you found our channel. If you are getting ready to make Torch you are pretty amazing yourself. That 9 foot long crocheted dragon is not for the faint-hearted. I love everything creative and am so glad to share with others. If you have any questions about your crochet just message me on Etsy www.etsy.com/shop/OvertonFancies Happy Crocheting, Marie

Emmaline is my daughter and my granddaughter’s middle name! It’s not a name you here every day… My daughter was named after my great grandmother. Oh, and I love the tutorial!

[@WisdomPreserved]

I am named after my great-grandmother. Emmaline was her middle name, but I am glad it is my given name. I have always loved it because there was never anyone else with the same name. Nowadays there are are a lot of forms of "Emma", but still only a handful of Emmaline's. Other than my great grandmother I had never met another Emmaline until I was 32 years old. I am glad the tutorial was helpful.

[@DyanF]

I love that the oven is really dirty...so many times they don't use a good example. This looks more like the people's ovens out there. I am impressed....my oven needs cleaning bad...I know this will work. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@elizabethspencer1206]

Thank you ladies!! I’m so excited to try this on my own oven. Definitely prefer natural over chemical, appreciate your hard work and sharing your efforts and results ❤

[@WisdomPreserved]

Our pleasure!

[@barbararobinson4698]

Thanks for the tips, I agree that using a razor blade would scratch the glass, I use a plastic Pizza stone cleaner. You made me realize that two baked on areas in my new oven were from the self cleaning mode. I won’t t use it again. Dawn liquid is the Bomb, I make solution for my garden as a weed killer and another as insect repellant.

[@BeccaLambour]

Some ovens have removable doors which makes it easier to clean. Just a reminder. People forget about the option.

[@WisdomPreserved]

We didn't even think of that. Great idea!

[@Bunnies4wool]

And the "drawer" is usualky a broiler. Most people dont use them because they are too hard to clean 😀

[@lindahandley5267]

I'm going to find out how to take mine off!

[@wendieo5146]

@@lindahandley5267 Open oven door to a 45° angle. Lift door upward straight in line with that 45°. The door is not screwed on to anything. Two spring loaded projections is all the door sits on. Guiding the door slots back onto those projections when returning the door is a little tricky if you doing this alone because the projections tend to spring back to upward when inadvertently touched prior to getting them into the door slots.

[@lindahandley5267]

@@wendieo5146 Thanks so much! That will sure make it easier! I never liked the 'self-cleaning' feature. It uses a LOT of electricity and my floor in front of the oven gets extremely hot!

[@reginamorgan8005]

Finally! Now my oven isn't as bad as the one in the video, but scrapping was involved with Brillo, and as I set up a workable cleaning regimen I'll assume the glass will get cleaner as time goes by. Keep these helpful videos coming!!

Soaking oven racks in the bathtub works well but I put a towel in the bottom of the tub so they don't scratch the surface.

[@WisdomPreserved]

That is such a good idea. I will try that next time. Thanks for the tip.

This looks like a great method. I also like use every preventative measure to avoid any spillage in the oven when in use. Example, large pan to catch any spillage

[@janetb.marronrealestate68]

I placed my oven racks into a heavy duty lawn bag with a half bottle of ammonia and allowed it to back in the sun on my patio. All the baked on grime came off and cleaning was very easy. You will need a generous amount of the liquid ammonia to cover the racks. I used this on my oven racks without suffering any change in the appearance of the racks they look as good as new and I also used this method to clean my barbecue grates. Excellent results!

[@karenrotter6280]

I recently purchased used double-ovens from an appliance repair business and was told that using Self-Clean features puts ovens at risk for needing repairs or replacement and that if I wanted my oven to last, clean by hand.

[@olive3700]

I did this about six months ago and still have some baking soda inside the oven. Admittedly I'm old and not very agile, but cleaning all that paste out of the oven was backbreaking for me. Right now I'm running the self-cleaner.

[@marvinthomason8540]

Excellent video. Dawn is an amazing product. Just hard to remove. I will be watching for more videos. Well done. Mary

[@WisdomPreserved]

Thanks so much!

[@tonysvwaudiparts]

I just wanted to say thank you so much for the little things like this that you give us. I'm sure making and editing the video isn't easy, but it really is helpful. I started on a very filthy oven today, and only let it sit for about 45 minutes. But that already loosened up a lot of stuff. I have an even worse one to do in another rental, I will start that one in the morning and let it sit. This is so much easier and better than the stinky self cleaning or the harsh chemicals. I'm so glad I found your channel!

[@WisdomPreserved]

Thank you so much! It is nice to be appreciated. On average it takes an hour per minute of edited video and that is in addition to the filming. It really is a huge endeavor.

[@Bunnies4wool]

Not my idea of a party, but its good to know this natural technique.

[@irmadennington2773]

It’s so funny watching you two, just use an old towel to get rid of the mucky stuff, then use a soft cloth to wipe it clean and shiny 😀 I use the same mixture ladies for few decades now 👍🏼

Yes, we probably should have done that. Hindsight is always 20-20 and we were so new to video making when we made this video. I'm happy to hear this mixture has worked so well for you for so long.
