Green Tip of the Day 2.16.12

baking soda outside

The cleaning of one’s oven is tricky business, especially if you don’t do it that often. Or ever. Whenever you decide to clean it, why buy expensive oven cleaners full of disgusting chemicals the nose will be inhaling at close range? That’s just a big plate of EW. Instead try baking soda, a natural and inexpensive cleaner:

First, sprinkle water (free from the tap!!) on the areas of the oven that need cleaning.

Follow this with a few layers of baking soda. Rub off with sponge. Baking soda prices range from about 99 cents to $3, depending on the size.

Tough spots can be worked on gently with steel wool pads.

Like this, thanks!

It works really well too.  I had to use it after Tim decided to cook ribs in the oven and didn't use a big enough pan *forehead slap*

Ah.....  I love BS, it works wonders.  And there are time I pour just a little Vinegar on it, and it seems to help to.  :)  I do that on the stove top.

I've used it. But I made a paste, let it sit... Worked like a charm.
