Of all the things I despise cleaning the most, it’s the oven. By now, all ovens should have a self-cleaning option. And yes, they should be affordable. I am the type of person that is wiping up spills and constantly cleaning the oven door. It’s the inside part that gets you. Even though I had the kitchen window open, I almost choked to death from the oven cleaner.
There must be a better way to clean an oven. It wasn’t all that dirty, but still, I couldn’t clean it using soap and water. It doesn’t work. I don’t care how hard you scrub. So what’s the alternative?
I scoured the internet after the fact to find out what other folks were doing and was pleasantly surprised. A power drill with scrub brush attachments, baking soda made into a paste, and vinegar (one part vinegar, one part water in a spray bottle) seem to work.

Next time a good cleaning is needed (and I haven’t purchased a new stove), I will definitely try this method because baking soda, water, and vinegar are less toxic.
