But you need to remember that these products are aggressive and must be washed off surfaces very carefully. In addition, many of them leave behind a smell. Therefore, it is better to use traditional methods and resort to chemical means in extreme cases. And yet, if you are not bothered by the shortcomings of “chemistry”, then here...

...Step-by-step instructions for cleaning the oven with special products:

1. Wear rubber gloves to prevent the skin of your hands from being damaged by chemicals.
2. Pour into a basin warm water and dissolve a little cleaning agent in it (the exact amount is usually indicated on the package).
3. Remove all removable elements (baking tray, wire rack, etc.) and immerse in a container with cleaning solution.

How to wash an electric oven

It is most effective to clean an electric oven with a special paste consisting of Comet or Pemolux, dishwashing liquid, and you can also add citric acid. Take the components in equal proportions. Apply the resulting mixture to all surfaces of the oven, door, baking sheet and shelves using a sponge. After 40-60 minutes (depending on the level of contamination), rinse off the paste and thoroughly wash the oven, then wipe dry.

If present on the surface old stains, you need to scrub them with a brush or sponge with a hard coating.

Another method: dilute a mixture of acetic acid in a container with water in equal quantities. Then dip a sponge or rag into this solution and thoroughly wet all the walls with it. Immediately after this, take baking soda, sprinkle it on all contaminated areas, and leave for an hour to react. With this treatment, the hydrogen that is released during the reaction of soda and vinegar is completely harmless, however, it perfectly helps remove even stubborn and old dirt. After cleaning, rinse the oven with soapy warm water.

Another way to clean at home. Take glassware suitable for microwave oven, then pour one liter of plain water into this container with the addition of 20 grams of vinegar essence.

This treatment can be carried out only after wearing a respirator, since the smell is very pungent.

After applying the solution to the entire surface of the oven, you should wash it off after 40-30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly until the pungent odor completely disappears. Otherwise, the cooked food will have an unpleasant aftertaste.

Hot processing

IN hot water carefully dilute a small amount of laundry soap, or any dishwashing detergent, then pour the product onto a baking sheet, and then place the baking sheet directly in the oven. Then treat the entire surface of the oven with the remaining solution. Now close the door very tightly, and then set the temperature on the timer to 130 degrees.

The door is carefully closed during processing. The temperature treatment process lasts 30 minutes, then the oven should be slightly cooled. After this, all dirty surfaces of your oven should simply be wiped down. All grease and dirt from the temperature of the hot washing mixture should be removed from the surface without difficulty.

Combined cleaning methods

It will absorb dirt and grease and become Brown, then the remnants of this salt should be swept away or removed with a vacuum cleaner. After this treatment, wash the walls in the usual way.

In addition, at home you can clean the oven with the usual baking powder used by every housewife. A dirty oven should be sprinkled with this powder and lightly sprinkled with water. After 20 minutes, the fat will completely gather into lumps; they can be easily removed with a simple damp cloth. You can use a mixture of citric acid and baking soda.

To prepare own remedy for cleaning, you need to mix 50 grams of water, the same amount of salt and half a glass of baking soda. Grind this mixture into a thick paste. Now wipe the inside of the oven with a damp cloth and then spread your paste over the surface of the oven. You should leave the mixture overnight to work and wash it off in the morning. You can remove a bad smell from a refrigerator in much the same way, but that’s not about that now.

You can use a combined method for cleaning. That is, first treat the oven with vinegar, then consolidate the success with salt, which will collect all the carbon and fat. After this, wipe with the mixture prepared according to the above recipe, or clean with it using a hot method.

It is necessary to mix the grated mixture laundry soap, table vinegar and drinking soda. Mix these components properly; the soap should be completely dissolved in the liquid. The mixture should be thoroughly rubbed onto the surface. After two hours, the mixture can be washed off. Use this solution to also very thoroughly clean all dirty baking sheets and racks. There is another reliable way: citric acid, 20 grams of Pemolux powder (or other similar) and the same amount of dish soap, mix thoroughly. Leave this mixture to act for 20 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.

The process is greatly simplified if you wash the oven after each cooking with regular dish soap, because after reheating the fat thickens and becomes more like drying oil, then it is much more difficult to wash it.

Tip #1: Household chemicals often contain caustic substances, so use rubber gloves when working and do not forget to open the windows.

Tip #2: When choosing a cleaner, pay attention to aerosols; they are economical and effective; cream-like products and foam are no less good; due to their consistency, they adhere to the walls of the oven and corrode fat.

Tip #3: Give preference to products that do not contain acids, chlorine or abrasives - they can destroy the enamel. You should also not use metal brushes, scrapers or hard sponges to avoid scratching the surface. Soft sponges and a brush will be useful for this work, with which you can clean hard-to-reach places.

Tip #4: A good result can be achieved if, before applying the product, preheat the oven at 500°C for 20 minutes. Heated fat changes its structure and is much easier to wash off.

Tip #5: Detergents and cleaning agents are not applied to the fan and a heating element, as this may damage the device.

Tip #6: After using household chemicals, do not close the door immediately; it will take several hours for the smell of the cleaner to completely disappear.
