A dirty oven isn’t just an eyesore—it can affect the taste of your food 🍕 and even become a fire hazard! 🚨 Grease, burnt food, and grime build up over time, making your oven less efficient. But don’t worry! With the right tools 🛠️ and techniques, you can deep clean your oven easily and effectively. ✨
📝 Step 1: Gather Your Supplies 📝
Before you begin, gather all the essentials! 🛠️ Here are some top-rated products to make the deep-cleaning process a breeze. Let’s get started! 🧼✨:
✅ For NON Self-Cleaning Ovens – (My go-to for deep cleaning! 💪 Use with a rough sponge for best results.)

🛁 Step 2: Remove Oven Racks & Soak Them 🛁
Take out the oven racks and place them in your sink or bathtub. 🛀 Fill with hot water and add a few squirts of dish soap 🧴 or oven cleaner. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to loosen grime.
🔹 Pro Tip: If your racks are extra greasy, add a cup of baking soda 🥄 to the soak for extra cleaning power!
🧼 Step 3: Apply an Oven Cleaner 🧼
Use the right Easy-Off Oven Cleaner based on your oven type:
For non-self-cleaning ovens, use Easy-Off Heavy Duty Oven Cleaner (yellow can). Spray it on, let it sit for the recommended time, then scrub with a rough sponge or scrub brush. 💪
For self-cleaning ovens, go with Easy-Off Fume Free Oven Cleaner (blue can). It’s safe for these ovens! Just spray, let it soak, and wipe clean. Try using an SOS pad for tougher spots. 🫧
✨ Prefer a natural method? Try this DIY option:
🥄 Mix ½ cup of baking soda with a few tablespoons of water to form a paste.
🖌️ Spread the paste all over the inside of the oven (avoid heating elements).
⏳ Let it sit for 12 hours (or overnight).
🧽 Step 4: Scrub & Wipe Down 🧽
After letting the cleaner or baking soda paste sit, use a scrub brush 🏋️ or scouring pad to loosen stubborn grease. Then, wipe everything down with a damp microfiber cloth.
🔹 For extra tough spots, use a razor scraper like this one to gently remove stuck-on grime. 💪
💎 Step 5: Clean the Oven Glass 💎
The oven door glass often collects grease and streaks. Here’s how to clean it effectively:
🔹 For light grime: Use vinegar and a microfiber cloth to wipe it down. 🍏💦
🔹 For stubborn stains: Make a paste of baking soda and water, spread it on the glass, let it sit for 20 minutes, then scrub gently.
For a streak-free finish, use a glass cleaner. ✨
🚪 Step 6: Wipe Down the Oven Exterior 🚪
Don’t forget the outside! Use a damp microfiber cloth with a few drops of dish soap 🧴 to wipe the control panel, knobs, and door handle.
🔹 For stainless steel ovens, use Stainless Steel Cleaner for a shiny, fingerprint-free finish! ✨
🔄 Step 7: Reinstall Racks & Keep It Clean Longer 🔄
After your oven is sparkling clean, put the racks back in and consider adding a non-stick oven liner like this one to catch future spills. 🍕🔥
