Thank for sharing. So kind of you thank. Got to clean my this week. I'm going do better by wiping it down after doing the dishes each day. Again thank you and your oven is beautiful job well done.

[@sherribuhr5388]

I was so afraid of cleaning my oven because I’ve never clean my oven and I’ve been using it for over 10 years. I thought it was gonna take me hours and hours but your video show me tips and tricks and reassured me that it would be easy. I appreciate your video. Helped me a lot in my oven is now clean.

[@AbbottsAtHome]

Woo hoo!! I’m so happy to help. 😊

[@Chelle778]

Good idea with the plastic wrap and scraper. I would always wear gloves using Easy Off. You can turn on your oven fan if you have one, too. If your side walls and back are not too bad, I use a stiff spatula or rubber spatula because I have short arms - scrape off as much of that stuff as I can wiping on a paper towel before I rinse it. Just saves alot of time with the rinsing. Great video. I hate cleaning the oven.

[@AbbottsAtHome]

Good tips. Easy Off Fume Free is actually safe to use without gloves. And, it doesn't have a strong smell or VOC's. So, you won't even need a fan. It's so much better than the original Easy Off.

[@tgawron2233]

My oven looked like yours. It took me all day to clean it. I now put on my calender 3x during the year to clean oven.

[@AbbottsAtHome]

Yep, it’s better to keep on top of it. I’m doing the same now. 😊

[@isabelbeckerman9226]

Here's an idea for maintaining a toxic-free clean oven without using Easy Off or other cleaning products: wipe down the entire kitchen essential with vinegar soon after baking. It's annoying people would leave the internal elements of their ovens caked with baked-on grease and spills for a long time.

[@NightMoon04]

Once I was done done with the easy off, I felt there was still a cleaning smell in the oven. A day later, I mixed equal parts water and white vinegar into a spray bottle and it neutralized the smell. I think it's all about trusting the process, your oven looked identical to how dirty was mine and I did the same I'd respray areas to get to the bottom of the gunk and it slowly started to work until it was all gone. I love your explanation and your time lapse, that this requires some elbow grease its not a magical poof gone type of job.

[@AbbottsAtHome]

Thanks for sharing your experience. :)

[@sharonschauer3257]

I lay my oven racks on the grass overnight. The morning dew loosens all the greases and grime and they clean easy.

[@AbbottsAtHome]

Sounds like an easy fix! Thanks for the tip.

I'm reading the comments and I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who never cleaned her oven. Looks like a lot more work than I want to do so I think I'm going to go with Zep commercial oven and grill cleaner its not fume free but it looks like it's less work and faster.

[@AbbottsAtHome]

Oven liners are amazing to use for the bottom. They help alot

[@AbbottsAtHome]

Thanks for the tip!

[@amb6899]

Can they be used on an electric stove the heating element appears it would get in the way

[@Truth1561]

I always keep a heavy duty oven liner on the base of my two ovens - keeps them immaculate, easy to wipe clean and they only cost about £3 from Aldi.

[@AbbottsAtHome]

I really need to buy those too. Everyone seems to love them. Thanks for the tip!

[@beverlywoods7095]

Check your owners manual first. I have a KitchenAid gas range and those liners are not recommended for my model.

[@freemanmt]

You can't cover the bottom of the stove with anything , your oven has the baking elemet covered , check you manual first ​@AbbottsAtHome

[@haroldbridges515]

I notice that none of these oven-cleaning videos shows cleaning the ceiling of the oven cavity, the dirtiest part.

[@AbbottsAtHome]

I think that’s because it’s so hard to get a good shot at that angle in a small space. But, it’s exactly the same. If your heating elements are up there, cover them completely with foil (they can’t have cleaner on them, then clean, rinse clean, remove foil 👍 Also, I’m guessing you cook with a lot of uncovered oil in the oven (if the ceiling is the dirtiest part). I really don’t, so my ceiling isn’t very messy. Good luck!!

[@deniselearned8986]

Thanks for the cleaning video! I was amazed recently when I used pomice stone (non toxic). Just took a small bowl of water & dipped the pomice stone in it. You must keep the stone wet. When I worked on the bottom of the oven I just poured some water in the bottom. Just purchased additional pomies (pomice stones) at Menards for $1.98 each. The one stone I had when I cleaned the oven- cleaned the bottom & door & some of the sides.

[@AbbottsAtHome]

Great tip! I just want to point out that pumice can scratch glass. So, anyone reading this doesn't use it on the glass door. :)

[@flamboyantpotato4004]

You'll scratch up the inside of your oven with those stones and then dirt sticks a lot more to it. Gets dirty faster. Same for toilets, use those on toilets and you'll scratch the porcelain and it'll develop grime faster and more.

[@sheilamagsby9926]

You can un screw the fan and you can use oven liner at the bottom

Here's a precautionary measure to follow if planning on using Easy Off: wear gloves to avoid lye compromising your skin.

[@AbbottsAtHome]

Easy off Fume Free doesn’t contain lye. It’s safe to use without gloves. The original IS NOT. 👍

​@@AbbottsAtHomeI agree with others it's best to wear gloves. No big deal all due respect

[@juliab8992]

No shame for not cleaning your oven! I've had mine 10 years, only cleaned it once. Not recently. Hence me showing up here, to figure out how to do it better (I struggled with baking soda & vinegar last time, worried about using chemicals... But now I'll try fume free easy off)

Easy off damages the oven, use Pink Stuff

[@juliab8992]

@@meriandimond5442 easy off worked like a dream and didn't damage the oven... But I did get a pretty gnarly chemical burn (with a scar months later now) from a very tiny hole in my glove. I will be more careful next time, but for an extremely dirty baked on grime oven, 100% easy off. I didn't have to scrub at ALL. It wiped away. Scrubbing with abrasives had previously left some scratches, but to be fair, I have never used the pink stuff for anything, so maybe it works just as well. I'm any case, I would call that a twice a decade task, personally. I do plan to wipe the sides more frequently now too

I've been renting my place around 20 years. The stove was always here. And who knows when it was cleaned before me living here. I recently tried mixing a paste. Using baking soda and vineger. And only put it on the oven door. I left it all night. And the next day I tryed cleaning it. It was not easy. And very very messy. And it only got about 30% of the greasy off. So now it's time to try easy off.

We have only been in this rental for 10 months and I was having nightmares about the oven. Luckily, I have help to do the end of lease deep clean which is so extensive, due to covid probably. Next rental, I will be using oven bags for everything. That will be interesting, a science experiment. You did well. I cant kneel so I will have to work out some other way to do the racks but thats ok. From Australia with thanks.

Yikes! I listen to an Australian podcast. It sounds like your landlord’s have too much power right now. Must be a pain. Good luck with your deep clean. 🤞

After you spray your oven, spray the racks and cut one side of the plastic bag & place them inside. They will much easier to clean too.

There should be a little part you can lift on both arms that hold the door. Lift those, close the door (not fully) pull the door away. Now you can work on the glass on your couter top andd have easy access to your oven.

Good tip! I don’t really feel like I’m struggling to reach, it’s just awkward trying to stay out of the camera’s shot. But, if that oven was higher or lower, it’d be worth removing. 👍👍

[@AbbottsAtHome]

[@paulinethomas1611]

If you use this product the first thing you should do is put on a full length sleeved top and wear rubber gloves. If you have a mask available, use it. If not hold a hand towel or flannel against your face whilst spraying. This product is nasty and if you are not careful you’ll get residual aerosol spray irritation and redness on your forearms and hands as well as a sore throat from inhalation. Direct contact will leave burns to the skin. I now prefer a cleaning product you paint on and put the racks in a supplied large polythene bag with the solution, then leave oven and racks for some hours. Lakeland in UK sell it. Or pay local oven cleaners to come and do it.

[@AbbottsAtHome]

You’re thinking of the original Easy Off. This is Easy Off Fume Free. It actually doesn’t have a strong smell. It’s safe to use without gloves, doesn’t irritate skin, or require a mask and goggles. This very is the only one I’ll use because it’s so much safer and easier. 👍
