Title: My oven has never looked this good
Post by: BeezeeBee on April 18, 2014, 12:43:54 am
So I finally cleaned my oven after a couple of years being unsuccessful with detergent, bicarb, jif etc. Uni tried out the method first, and I promptly bought the cloudy ammonia. But it wasn't till yesterday that I got my act together and slipped on my kitchen gloves.

My super dirty oven 😬

After major scrubbing

Took me one and half hour, and even then I couldn't get everything off. But still I'm happy 😄😃

Here's the link for the method http://www.onegoodthingbyjillee.com/2013/12/how-to-easily-clean-your-oven.html

Lovely BZB. Seems a shame to cook in it and make it grimy again.

Mine too. Fortunately the manufacturer of my oven had the foresight to make the interior black, and if the glass door is any indication, just as well  ;D

I know what you mean. Caught myself having second thoughts about using the oven to make pizzas just now. Hahaha 😁

Suzanne, you can come over to clean mine when you're done with yours. Once every few months will do. We will have 2 happy bunnies that way 😝😆

Uni, what else do you use ammonia for?

Bought the ammonia this morning and cant wait to have a clean oven like that. A few years ago my daughter gave me a clean oven for mothers day; a man turned up in his little van and did all the work.

Cloudy ammonia is awesome for cleaning jewelry,  brings up rings super shiny and new looking  :)
I just get an old water bottle lid, put my rings in it and leave for a few hours, then very gently scrub with an old soft rag or toothbrush,  gets in all the crooks and nannies.....nooks and crannies :-))

I think JD posted her window cleaners recipe: bucket of water, 'splosh' cloudy ammonia, and a bit of dishwashing detergent. Comes up a treat.

Yes always use it diluted BZB.  Here's a warning about using ammonia
 
Never mix ammonia with bleach or any product containing chlorine. The combination produces toxic fumes that can be deadly. Work in a well-ventilated space and avoid inhaling the vapours. Wear rubber gloves and avoid getting ammonia on your skin or in your eyes. Always store ammonia out of the reach of children.
