A simple oven cleaning technique.
I saw this online and thought I'd share. If it truly does work on cleaning the burnt on gunk that is in some ovens and safe as well, it's a winning combination for me.

Thank you so much for posting this. I am going to try it and I'll let you know if it works. I love these sorts of tricks. Awhile back I read a tip that I have been meaning to try. Supposedly, if you put your oven racks in a big garbage bag, add ammonia and tie the bag up and leave it overnight, the racks will be easy to clean.

Tessagin, I always put a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil under my pies too, and I put foil around the outer edge of the crust so it doesn't burn. Prism99, I clean my grill grate with oven cleaner. I haven't put them in a plastic bag to soak though. It has to be more effective. I'll do it that way next time.

Just a warning....she said to used it for everything. Don't use it on your cabinets. I accidently used an orange cleaner on my painted kitchen cabinets and it made the paint tacky which then made the cabinets dirt magnets. We had to resand, prime and paint and then put another finish on top. Hubby was not happy!

The oil from oranges is pretty powerful stuff. I'll bet the cleaner works. How can it not? You're combining vinegar, which is acetic acid, with the citric acid of oranges. I think the baking soda would neutralize the acid so that it wouldn't eat through the paint on the bottom of your stove. Years ago our family went camping and we took one of my son's friends with us. They were 14. I had purchased some natural air fresher for my car and it was made of orange oil. We were on the highway and the two boys were in the back seat of my car. I made a comment about how they both could use a shower and some deodorant. Being the comedians that they were, I did not take them seriously when they picked up the air freshener, sprayed it on their armpits, and proceeded to act like they were in pain. My son's friend, who was usually stoic, had started to tear up. I pulled the car over and checked them out and their armpits were inflamed (but they did smell better.)

Years ago, several friends told me they lay paper towels on the bottom of their over and cover it with ammonia. The next day everything washes off and I have tried it and it works. Never used vinegar before but I will try it. Thanks.
