How to Clean an Oven (Non Self Cleaning)

Here at the Clean My Space HQ, we've never found ourselves in a position to show you how to clean a non-self cleaning oven, because our oven cleans itself, BUT, because 2020, it's broken and now cleaning expert Melissa Maker can *finally* show you how to clean a non-self cleaning oven! #OvenCleaning #CleaningTips

CORRECTION FOR CLEANING THE OVEN GLASS DOOR PANEL: please note, I recommend using a NON-SCRATCHING scrub pad (the blue one!) to avoid small micro scratches. The green one I used is heavy duty and CAN cause tiny scratches. I don’t care about this oven because as I said, it’s going to the junk yard on Monday, but I realize it was the WRONG tool to use and I wanted to point that out to you guys! SORRY! And thank you to those that pointed it out to me. I was totally not thinking about longevity of this darn thing when filming! ❤️

For the actual cleaning tip skip to 4:00. You’re welcome!

If manufacturers don’t want you to take your door apart maybe they shouldn’t create secret invisible crevices that food can inexplicably fall into 🤬

Just want to say how well this worked!! I've tried using harsh chemicals, and nothing happens except my kitchen stinks and I end up with a headache! My oven is now clean!! Thanks so much!!

Thank you so much for actually having a legit dirty oven. Now I don't feel so bad.

I wish I could give you 1000 likes.

YES!! I inherited an oven several years ago and it was so greasy I never managed to clean it completely. It never ends. I needed this video so much! Thank you, Melissa :)

I just want to thank you so much for this video no one ever taught me how to clean an oven and the oven recently had to use was so grimey and thought I could never get it clean finally looks beautiful after following this video after 3 cleans. Thank you so much feel like you're helping me become a proper adult 😅

As a cleaning lady myself, I like it. I do it the same way: it is real heavy work and I use both hands, too:)

A very experienced appliance repair person came in to replace a control board for my oven. He told me to never use the self-cleaning option on an oven, especially an older model. He states that it wears out an oven more quickly and it'll frequently damage heating elements, temperature sensors and even the electronic control boards. He suggested doing what this video states and to scrape off debris with a plastic scraper, wipe the rest down with some vinegar and anything that is really stuck on to just leave it.

I`m glad that u make this video of cleaning the whole oven finally. When I searched videos of how to clean an oven, they only show u how to clean the racks and the door.

This is very useful! When I lived in apartments, I used to just move away in order to obtain a clean oven, but now that I'm in a house I suppose I should learn how to do this. I like that I do not have to use EZ-OFF for this - I have bad memories of that smell from childhood.

You can use Arm & Hammer's Super Washing Soda for more cleaning power. I think of it as baking soda's stronger cousin. :-) Per the Arm & Hammer website: "Ovens, Range Tops, and Broiler Pans
- Ease these messy jobs with a solution of ½ cup Super Washing Soda dissolved in a gallon of warm water. For stubborn, crusted soils, sprinkle Super Washing Soda dry on a damp sponge to scour quickly and easily. Remove burners and soak in solution for at least 30 minutes to banish greasy build-up. Rinse well and dry." Probably best to wear gloves. All the best!

I have always had an aversion to harsh chemicals (anxiety/ocd) but this looks doable! I think I'll try this, thank you

Try cutting those large 3M pads into 1/3rds. It will make it much easier to use and you won't drag the clean part of the pad thru the parts you are scrubbing with your finger tips. Also, a razor blade window scraper such as you use to remove paint from windows works well at cleaning the glass in the oven. Just use a fresh razor blade as they tend to rust and will scratch the glass if they do.

U R the best, We changed so many cleaning routines because of you.
Thank you

You are truely a cleaning guru! From now on, I'll only use your gentle cleaning recepies!

Just a heads up. If you make a paste from powdered dishwasher soap (the cheaper brand the better) & a little water & rub it on then let it set for a bit it loosens everything stuck on and makes cleaning your oven a breeze without all that scrubbing. I add a little soap onto my scrubber & scrub off anything left then wipe it out and rinse with vinegar water. You can also lift anything stuck to pans or bakeware by filling with warm water & adding a little dry dishwasher soap then let it set for half on hour or longer and wash all the baked on stuff off easy peasy.

You are a mind reader. I had a terrible mac and cheese leak in my oven on Thanksgiving. 😬 Since we have a double oven, I've just been using the "clean" one and trying not to look at the oven where the mac and cheese incident occurred. 😐 This will give me the push I need to stop being intimidated and clean the stinking oven! Thank you!

[kristenepic]

This is amazing I thought I was the only one who did a vinegar rinse to get any residual grease or chemicals!

[blakedel]

Omg, manually cleaning a broken self cleaning oven that’s going in the rubbish, with your non dominant hand 😣....?? Respect..!
