FAQ
What's the safest way to clean an oven?
Never mix cleaning products. Bleach plus ammonia, vinegar or other acids releases toxic gases. Use one product at a time, rinse between them, ventilate, and unplug appliances before you clean them.
How to use the oven light bulb setting?
Most ovens have a lightbulb symbol on the function dial that lights the cavity without heating. Use it to check food or spot dirt without opening the door.
How to clean an oven with baking soda?
Spread a paste of bicarbonate of soda and water inside a cold oven, leave it for 12 hours, then wipe it away. Mist with vinegar at the end to lift the last residue.
How to clean oven racks?
Soak oven racks overnight in hot water with dishwasher tablets or bicarbonate of soda, then scrub off the softened grease.
