Than wash the electric oven inside. How to clean the oven at home

Even the highest quality oven eventually gets very dirty and loses its original appearance. Sometimes cleaning can turn into a real torment - especially if you haven’t done it for several weeks or months. Sooner or later, a crust of fat and soot begins to form on the walls of the oven, which smokes after heating and gives uncooked flavor and aroma to cooking dishes. Fortunately, in the most neglected cases, it can be easily washed at home. Today we look at quick and effective oven cleaning methods that will help you deal with the problem as soon as possible.

Cleaning the oven with special tools

In any supermarket a lot of old fat removal products are sold, which help speed up the process of cleaning the oven several times. Of course, the use of special products of household chemicals is much more expensive than traditional methods, but if you want to achieve an effective result in the shortest possible time, then there is no better method. Among the most popular and proven tools that are safe for the surfaces of ovens can be identified:

  • Faberlic  - a good gel of domestic production, which includes caustic soda. Suitable for cleaning any ceramic and metal surfaces. Copes with thick layers of grease and rust. Not suitable for nickel-plated, aluminum and chrome-plated and ovens.
  • Frosch  - completely safe fat solvent made in Germany. A great choice for those who have small children. It is delivered in a convenient package with a spray and can be used on any surfaces - however, for effective cleaning it is necessary to apply the product in large quantities, so it ends quickly. If you have a very dirty oven, then it is better to find a more powerful and economical option.
  • Mr Muscle "Expert for the kitchen" - an effective spray aerosol from the middle price segment. It can be used not only for washing the oven, but also for the care of microwaves, sinks and kitchen furniture. It copes with soot and frozen layers of fat. The only drawback of the product is that after applying you have to wait at least half an hour until the active substances in its composition soften the fat.
  • Eco-max  - very expensive, but high-quality Canadian gel. The tool is suitable for the care of any surfaces. The main active ingredients of the product are soda and citric acid. It does not contain synthetic elements, therefore it is absolutely safe and can be safely used in families with small children.
  • Krizalit Eko  - an effective and environmentally friendly product from Belgium. It is rarely found in Russian stores, but it is notable for its low price. A great option for families with children and animals. The composition contains organic salts, which envelop the crust of fat film and make it easy to separate it from the surface of the oven.
  • Cif  - Hungarian cream for cleaning ovens, stoves and microwave ovens. It has a thick texture, so it cleans vertical surfaces well. Copes even with thick layers of soot and fat. One of the best tools in the average price range.
  • Sanita  - Russian-made gel with alkaline composition. It has a low price and fast time of action. It is necessary to apply extremely carefully, because the tool is very corrosive to the skin. Wear rubber gloves before use and keep the gel out of the reach of children!

When working with these and other household chemicals, you must follow safety precautions. Fundamental rules:

  1. Before cleaning, open windows and doors - the kitchen should be well ventilated.
  2. Wear rubber gloves — especially when using cheap products that can damage your skin.
  3. Do not allow children to be in the kitchen during cleaning.
  4. Make sure that the detergent does not fall on the heating elements of the oven.
  5. If chemicals get on your body, try to rinse your skin as soon as possible under running water. In case of rash, irritation and other complications, contact your dermatologist.

Folk cleaners oven

To save on household chemicals, many hostesses prefer to use inexpensive folk remedies. The most famous of them are:

  • Baking soda. Wonderful with recent pollution. Allows to get rid of a smell of burning and a brown raid on a glass door. The procedure is simple: apply a soda on a wall of the oven with a damp cloth and wash it off with soap and water after an hour. If you quite often take care of the oven, and it does not have time to cover with several layers of fat, then in your case this is the best and cheapest way. One pack of soda costs less than 50 rubles, and it may be enough for several cleanups.
  • Table vinegar.  A safe tool that is suitable for cleaning any surfaces (including enamel). Saturate the rag with vinegar and coat the entire oven with it. An hour later, wash it with soap and water.
  • Lemon juice.  It smells good and is suitable for cleaning medium and light pollution. You can use both fresh fruit and citric acid. Mix in equal proportions the juice and water and using a sponge to coat the oven with the resulting solution. After an hour, wash it off with a damp cloth. When using acid, dilute the entire bag (10 grams) in half a liter of water.
  • Ammonia.  The most powerful folk remedy that can help in hopeless situations. Prepare in advance one liter of water and a glass of sal ammoniac (about 200 ml) in different vessels. Remove the pan from the oven and set the hottest temperature. After 10-15 minutes, turn off the heat and put both containers inside. Wait about an hour, then wipe the oven with a damp cloth or sponge. If contamination is very strong, then use soda during cleaning.
  • Salt.  Arrange the pans and sprinkle them with salt, then heat the oven to 100 degrees and leave it to warm. After thirty minutes, wipe the inside of the oven with a damp cloth.

This is only a small part of the huge number of popular ways to clean the oven. They are not as effective as household chemicals, but they are much cheaper.

Automatic ways

If you want to simplify the care of the oven, get a model with a self-cleaning function. They are more expensive than conventional ovens, but they allow you to quickly remove fat and soot.

In modern models, there are four self-cleaning methods:

  • pyrolytic;
  • hydrolytic;
  • catalytic;
  • enamel easy to clean.

From the method used depends on the efficiency of the function and the cost of the oven. The easiest option - devices with easy-clean enamel. Inside they are covered with a special compound, to which the fat sticks poorly, so it is very easy to wash. Otherwise, such ovens are no different from ordinary and have similar price tags. The main disadvantage of models with light enamel is to clean them after each use so that the remaining fat will not spoil the inner lining.

Hydrolysis method  also used in simpler models. It consists in using a niche at the bottom of the oven, into which ordinary water is poured with a few drops of cleaning agent. It is necessary to heat the device, and after half an hour, manually clean the surface of the softened fat.

Ovens with catalytic cleaning  already noticeably more expensive. Models with this function have a special coating that prevents fat from sticking to the walls. Directly during cooking, it is split into carbon, water and organic matter, and only partially settles at the bottom of the oven.

Finally, the most effective cleaning method is pyrolytic. The fat, along with the remnants of food inside the oven, is simply heated to a very high temperature (up to five hundred degrees) and turns into ashes. After that, it remains for the small - just wipe the entire inner surface with a damp cloth.

Now you know how to clean even the dirtiest oven. Remember that the more often you wash it, the easier and faster the cleaning process will be. Choose the best way for you to care for the oven, and soon you will adapt to keep it clean, using minimal effort for this!

To make the oven shine clean, it should be thoroughly cleaned after each cooking. Removing contaminants “hot on the heels” is easiest. Only sponges, cloths, water and detergent will be needed. Citric acid will easily dissolve the fat or soften a large oily stain, after which it can be wiped off with a cloth and detergent without much hassle. Stains will be easier to clean, if the oven is slightly warm. The optimum temperature will be 40 ° C.

In a cup of water you need to squeeze the juice of one lemon medium size. Liquid is applied to the walls of the oven. After 40 minutes, the dissolved contaminants are washed off with detergent, then rinsed the walls of the oven with water. Lemon juice will also relieve the smell of burnt food. Some housewives wipe the oven walls with lemon slices and later wash off the dirt with water and dishwashing liquid.

Instead of lemon juice, you can use citric acid. The solution is prepared from 1 tsp. powder and a glass of water.

It is good to soften large grease stains with citric acid if heated. The refractory container is half filled with water, then a little detergent and a whole lemon cut into small slices are added to it. The container is placed in the oven and heated to 150 ° C. Steam boiling composition quickly eat fat, then remove it will be very easy. It is necessary to warm the furnace for about half an hour, then it is necessary to allow it to cool. Pollution is spongeed with a still warm surface. How to clean the oven from the old fat?

To clean up the old burned spots, it is recommended to take a stronger tool. A bag of citric acid (25 g) must be mixed with 1 tsp. dry detergent (for example, "Pemolyuks" or "Komet") and add to the composition of 1 tbsp. l any detergent. The resulting mixture should resemble the consistency of liquid sour cream. It covers the contaminated walls of the oven and leave for 20 minutes to dissolve stains. If the mixture is quickly dried, it should be wetted. After this treatment, the dirt is washed off with a sponge without much effort with a weak solution of dishwashing liquid.

An effective remedy can be prepared from citric acid, vinegar and baking soda.  A bag of citric acid is mixed with 1 tbsp. l soda and pour the ingredients in half a glass of table vinegar. This composition needs to process the entire internal surface of the oven, except for the heating elements. After half an hour, the product is washed off with a soap solution and rinsed with water.

  Vinegar contamination cleaning

Acetic acid effectively copes with dirt and does not pose a threat to the internal coating of the oven. Table vinegar plentifully moisten the walls of the furnace, as well as trays and grates. After a few hours, they clean off the vinegar-softened impurities and rinse the surfaces with water.

Fresh stains can be removed with acetic acid diluted with water in a 1: 1 ratio. How to wash the oven from the old fat bite?

An excellent tool for eliminating fatty plaque is formed from a mixture of vinegar and baking soda. Hydrogen released by a chemical reaction “explodes” a thick layer of old stains. The best result can be achieved by applying the ingredients one by one. First, all the furnace walls are treated with vinegar, then baking soda is applied generously. Since it cannot be poured onto the side walls, it is recommended to put a sponge with soda on it. The structure does not wash off from surfaces within several hours. After that, the softened dirt is removed with an abrasive sponge. If there are places where dirt is not easily cleaned, you can wipe them with baking soda. Remove the composition along with the remnants of plaque must be a weak solution of detergent.

From a deposit will relieve a mixture of table vinegar, baking soda and laundry soap.

50 g of baking soda and 30 g of soap are added to 100 g of vinegar. Soap must be crushed on a fine grater. The finished composition is carefully rubbed into the dirt and left to absorb for several hours. After the destruction of plaque, the greasy brown layer will be easily removed with a soft cloth. In this way, you can achieve a radiant purity of the oven, both from the inside and the outside. The mixture can be used to clean the glass on the door.

Hot processing will eliminate contamination even in the most inaccessible places. It will require 70% edible acetic acid. A few tablespoons of acetic acid is added to 1 l of water and the liquid is poured into a refractory dish. The container is placed in the oven and left there at a temperature of 150 ° C for half an hour. Steamed dirt is removed from the walls of the cooled oven with a weak solution of detergent and rinsed with water.

  Action soap

Cleaning with soap will be one of the safest and environmentally friendly. Alkalis are no less effective in combating fatty contamination than acids. To get rid of the old and burned fat in the oven, half a bar of laundry soap is rubbed on a fine grater and dissolved in a small refractory container with hot water. The liquid is placed in an oven and heated to 150 ° C. The soap solution should be boiled for about 45 minutes in a closed oven. Soap steam will make the pollution porous, and they will begin to peel off from the walls. When the preheated oven cools, the steamed spots should be removed with an abrasive sponge. After cleaning, surfaces should be thoroughly cleaned with water and detergent. After the procedure, the oven is left open for 8 hours to get rid of the specific soap smell.

  Apply table salt

This method is very simple, safe and effective. It will help to clean the oven from the burned fat without much hassle. The surface of the stove and trays sprinkled with salt and preheated oven. Heated salt absorbs impurities and turns golden or brown. After removing the salt, the oven is washed with a mild detergent solution.

Strengthen the action of salt can carbonic acid. In 300 ml of water you need to dissolve 500 g of salt and add a little carbonic acid. The liquid is poured into a refractory container and placed on the lower shelf of the oven. The oven is heated to 150 - 200 ° C and turned off after half an hour. Boiling composition will strip away the pollution. When the oven has cooled, lightly warm walls should be washed with a solution of detergent.

At home, it is not difficult to prepare an effective tool for fresh pollution, mixing a quarter cup of water, a quarter cup of table salt and three quarters of a glass of baking soda. The finished composition will resemble pasta. She covers all contaminated walls of the oven and leave overnight. In the morning, clean the surface with a mild detergent solution. Old burnt stains in such a way to wash is unlikely to succeed. How to clean the oven from the burnt pollution?

  How ammonia to cope with the problem

Ammonia perfectly clean the walls of the oven from fat and soot. They need to moisten the sponge profusely and wipe the surfaces. The agent is left to act overnight and in the morning it is washed off with a weak solution of detergent along with contaminants.

A more effective method of cleaning is hot processing. Some water is poured into the refractory tank and placed in a heated oven at 100 ° C. When the water boils, the stove is turned off. On the upper shelf of the oven install another container with liquid ammonia in it. The oven door is tightly closed, leaving both containers inside for the night. In the morning the surfaces are cleaned with liquid ammonia diluted with water with a small amount of detergent added.

Instead of ammonia, you can use window cleaners containing it in its composition. Sprayer, which are equipped with products that will help evenly apply the tool on the walls of the oven. The advantage of this method is the lower aggressiveness of the composition compared to ammonia.

  other methods

The baking powder for the test will help to cope with pollution. It should be applied to the damp surface of the oven and left for several hours to absorb. Under the action of a baking powder, the fat will gather into lumps and will be easily removed with an abrasive sponge.

When there are no suitable means at hand, you can clean the oven with regular steam. Water is poured on the baking sheet so that it covers the entire bottom, but not to the very edges. The liquid should not overflow during boiling. Add a few drops of detergent to the water. The oven is heated to 150 ° C and boil water for about half an hour. Steam will make even old stains soft and supple. They will be washed with a damp cloth when the oven has cooled.

If you add a glass of ammonia to the baking tray with water, the result will be brilliant in the literal sense of the word. Pollution will be washed away with a soft sponge, and the surface will shine.

Soda can be cleaned covered with a brown patina glass oven door. It is richly covered with baking soda, slightly wetting it. An hour later, the product is removed with a damp cloth along with the bloom.

To clean the walls of the oven baking soda is best mixed with hydrogen peroxide. In a quarter cup of baking soda to pour, constantly stirring, three percent hydrogen peroxide.

A powerful tool for cleaning the oven at home is prepared from 1 tbsp. l drinking soda, 1 tbsp. l caustic soda, 1 tbsp. l salt and any dishwashing liquid. The mushy composition is applied to the walls of the oven, allowed to absorb and after 15 to 20 minutes, wash off with vinegar, half diluted with water. Spots that are not washed, wipe with the same mixture until they disappear.

The modern chemical industry produces many tools that successfully cope with the most persistent soiling in the oven. Cleaning the oven with their help will not take a lot of time and effort. However, their aggressive ingredients, easily corroding old stains, are very difficult to wash off the walls of the furnace. At high temperatures, chemical residues penetrate into the cooking dishes and enter the body with food.

  Security measures

When washing the oven, for safety reasons, it must be disconnected from the power supply.

Some cleaning products and their interaction products may be hazardous to health. Therefore, the cleaning procedure should be carried out with the windows open or the hood turned on. It is advisable to use rubber gloves and goggles.

If the cleaning agent is heated in the oven, the door must always be closed. Even slightly opening the door, you can get burned. Open the oven only after it cools.

When the surface of the oven will be processed, you need to leave the kitchen and close the door to restrict the access of children and animals.

To facilitate the work, the oven and the work surface are pre-cleaned from light dirt. Before processing the frying or oven, all removable elements are taken out, which are separately soaked in self-made solutions from soda, vinegar, soap or citric acid. The inner walls of the oven, the door and the glass in it are washed with the same folk remedies. In case they are not able to cope with durable pollution, household chemicals for cleaning stainless steel, glass and ceramics will be used to help.

The oven is constantly polluted by evaporation, greasy spray and residues of preheated food. It is possible to clean the oven from grease and soot both by folk remedies and specially designed household chemicals.

Preliminary preparation

To perform a general cleaning of the oven, it is necessary to perform several simple preparatory steps that will greatly facilitate further cleaning.

  1. Before washing the stove, it must be disconnected from gas and electricity - elementary safety rules.
  2. The visible surfaces of the stove and its top are cleaned as far as possible from light pollution in the form of dust and food debris (for example, fish). It will not wash away the dried and stuck dirt, but will soften the fat, preparing it for further cleaning.
  3. The inner walls of the oven are treated with thick soap solution, which is prepared in hot water. As an active ingredient, you can choose household or toilet soap, also suitable for dishwashing and gels to remove fat. Active foam will remove light dirt and prepare the surface for cleaning more durable stains.
  4. The oven is completely free from all removable parts - trays, grills and dishes stored there is set aside. If there is ventilation in the oven, plug the hole tightly with a cloth.
  5. Many contaminants soften due to high temperature. The electric oven closes, turns on at 250 degrees and warms up for 30 minutes.

It is not surprising that, thanks to such intensive use, the oven is quickly and often contaminated, and requires thorough cleaning.

Why is it so important to keep the oven clean?

  1. The presence of pollution can lead to the proliferation of bacteria and harm our health.
  2. If there are fat traces in the oven, they will start smoking while cooking the next dish, which will spoil its taste and aroma, and the kitchen will be filled with a pungent smell of burning.
  3. Soot and soot on the walls of the oven can lead to a change in temperature inside, and food can not be prepared according to all the rules.

Therefore, it is so important to know how to clean the oven from grease and soot at home.

Note!  It is necessary to wipe the walls of the oven and wash the baking sheet immediately after cooking, even if you do not see noticeable dirt. Fresh fat is removed much easier than the old and frozen, so you do not need to spend extra time to maintain cleanliness.

Nowadays, self-cleaning ovens are gaining more and more popularity. If you are a happy owner of such a model, then you just need to free the oven from the grates and baking trays and turn on the cleaning mode.

The temperature in the cabinet will rise to 500 degrees, after which you only need to walk along the walls with a clean, damp cloth, naturally after the oven has cooled.

But most of us still use classic proven models that we have to clean ourselves. What are some proven ways to clean the oven with home remedies?

Clean folk remedies

If you don’t use harmful chemicals in your household, and it’s time to clean the oven, you’ll get help from the people's advice on how to clean old fat and soot.

  1. Soda. Baking soda is a versatile product in our kitchens.

    It helps us in making dough for pies, is a good softener for long-boiling soft foods, we effectively use it when cleaning as a detergent for dishes, tiles and kitchen furniture.

    Also, soda is a very good oven cleaner.

    In the evening, make a thick slurry of soda, salt and a small amount of water. Apply evenly to walls or particularly contaminated areas. Leave the oven with the door open all night.

    During this time, the soda mixture will soften the fatty deposit well and you will only have to remove it with a damp sponge. This way you can clean even heavily soiled oven.

    Mix soda and concentrated citric acid in equal proportions and sprinkle the surface and corners of the oven, previously wiped with a damp sponge, with this powder. Leave for a couple of hours and rinse.

    After using the soda, wipe the walls, door and glass with mildly acetic solution. It will remove undissolved residues and make the coating clean and shiny.

    A very dirty surface can be easily and simply cleaned with a mixture of soda (50 grams), vinegar (100 grams) and rubbed soap (50 grams).

    Stir all ingredients thoroughly until a thick slurry forms, add a little water and apply the mixture to the walls, grill and trays. After a while, wash and wipe with a clean cloth.

  2. Ferry inside. In a deep pan or a flat, wide metal dish, gather warm water to about 1/3 of the volume. Add a couple bags of citric acid or 2-3 tablespoons of vinegar.

    Put on the lower tier and turn on the oven at a temperature of 120 - 150 degrees. As soon as you notice that the water in the tank began to boil, it is easy to understand by the glass of the door that has fogged up, turn off the heat and do not open the oven for 30-40 minutes.

    This time is enough for fat and carbon to be peeled off under the influence of hot steam. Carefully remove the bowl and wipe the inside of the walls with dishwashing liquid or just with soapy water. Rinse with clean water and wipe dry.

  3. Ammonia. Wipe the walls with a sponge moistened in 10% aqueous ammonia solution. A simple and effective way, but rather dangerous if used improperly and requiring very careful handling. Ammonia is a caustic substance with a strong odor that can cause mucosal burns, allergies, or even an attack of suffocation. Therefore, it is necessary to work with it only in rubber gloves protecting hands and in a respirator.
  4. Hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide solution is an excellent antimicrobial agent, and if you mix it with alcohol in the ratio of 1 to 1, it will help to remove leaks and dirt in the most hard-to-reach places - between the glasses, in the corners and around the heating elements.

Rating of oven cleaners

Household chemicals to remove dirt inside and outside the oven are quite effective.

However, one should not forget that all of them contain substances that can be harmful if they come into contact with the mucous membrane, skin or respiratory tract of a person or animal.

Therefore, at the time of their use, remove pets from the room, and take all necessary precautions.
