How do you clean an oven that is not self cleaning without breathing the fumes?
Question:My oven is not self cleaning, so I bought some oven cleaner. All the warnings on it scare me though. How are you supposed to clean your oven if the stuff is toxic to breath?
Answers:
I have a self cleaning oven but I clean it myself, it doesn't smell as bad. I use Easy-Off cold oven cleaner, it is low fumes. (Read the label before you purchase, it tells you if it's low fumes.) To prevent heavy cleaning, I put a steel cookie sheet with foil on it under what I am cooking to catch drips, then I let it cool and throw away the mess. If I forget, I sprinkle table salt on the spill while it is hot. Leave it on there through the next time you use the oven. When it is cool, wipe it out. The salt may make a slight burn smell at first but it goes away. You will have a slight dark mark on the bottom of the oven, but the thick stuff will be gone. I use the Oxy Brillo steel wool to lightly scrub the stain away.
Get one of those mask things.
Easy off has something that is called Fume Free. Its not too bad
