How to clean the oven naturally.

Cleaning our ovens is probably one of the most toxic things we can do in our homes (if you dont do it naturally). Its been a while since I have attempted this, but I finally got to it! Another chore checked off my list.


My oven was horribly coated with a couple of years of baking grime.  Im embarrased to say, its been that long since I have cleaned it. Here is the before picture:

The first thing I did was vacuum out the crumbs with my handy dandy Dyson

Next, I coated the oven with Scour Off Heavy Duty paste. [6]  (mmm, it smells so good).  And, its all natural so I didnt even have to wear gloves! I love this stuff.

It looks like this in the container…

Then I set the timer for 15 minutes, to let the dirt and scour off [6]marry each other.

And poured a cup of Starbucks coffee…

After 15 minutes, I took a wet scrubber and used some elbow grease… and scrubbed! It came of much easier than I expected.  If you wanted, you could first run your self oven cleaner, and then clean it. Its not necessary- I didn’t do that.

Here is the amazing after!

After I cleaned out the oven, I cleaned the stove top with myBasic H2 [13] degreaser.

I took off the knobs, and sprayed everything… and wiped it all down.

The finished product!

To finish it off, I hung a clean vintage towel.
