Scrub-free Oven Cleaning

I had the blessing of making dinner for my daughter’s family this week. Well, it was a blessing until the pot pie filling seeped out of the crust and baked into a hard, crispy shell in my oven! What a mess it created!

My oven has the self-cleaning feature, but I’m not really a fan of using it. It just gets too hot in my opinion. So when the mess in my oven cooled, I did my normal routine to try to get it clean. I scraped up what I could using a scraper, and then scrubbed it with a Brillo pad. Not much came up. Ugh. Then I Googled for a solution and I came up with a method that was called “Scrub-free!” I was a little skeptical, but it gave it a try. I was blown away with the results!

I made a paste using 1/2 Cup of baking soda and about three tablespoons of water – enough to make a paste. Then I slathered it onto the baked-on mess and let it set overnight.

The next morning I opened the oven door and this is all I had to do…

It literally wiped away with a swipe of a damp paper towel!

Every bit of the baked-on mess came up with NO scrubbing!

I’m so impressed and thankful to find a simple way to keep the oven clean without high heat, harsh chemicals or endless scrubbing!

If your oven is a disaster, get a box of Baking Soda and rub it on! It will shine by morning! Who else has tried this method?
