- Make sure your oven is cool before you get started. If your oven is self-cleaning or continuous cleaning, you cannot use oven cleaner on it. Warm, soapy water is the best cleaner for your oven. If necessary, you can use a paste of baking soda and water for more stubborn messes.
- Many people will place ammonia in a bowl and leave it in the oven overnight before cleaning their ovens. This should not be done on gas ovens unless the pilot light is out and the gas has been turned off.
- The door can be removed on most ovens, which makes cleaning your oven easier. Usually the door is removed by opening it to a 45-degree angle and pulling straight out. Do not soak the door in water. Instead, wash it with soap and water. Then, rinse with plain water. You can use glass cleaner if you spray it onto a rag first. Do not use powdered cleaners, steel wool or abrasive pads on your oven because they can scratch the surface. Once you have finished cleaning your oven, you can replace the door.
- Next, remove the oven racks. For best results, soak them in the bathtub before washing them with soap and water. If necessary, you can use a scouring pad or mild abrasive cleaner. Rinse the racks and dry them. Once you have finished cleaning your oven, you can replace the racks.
- You may be able to remove the bottom panel of your oven by unscrewing two screws in the back. Doing this will make it easier to clean. Otherwise, you can use a mild abrasive cleaner and plastic pads to clean the inside of your oven. Never use metal scouring pads as they will scratch. Use white vinegar to remove any grease buildup in your oven.
