Oven Cleaner

--Gather baking soda, water and dish-washing soap. Use an old spray bottle and spritz the oven completely with water until all surfaces are coated. Sprinkle baking soda onto the wet surfaces and allow it to sit overnight. The next day, drizzle liquid dish-washing soap on a sponge that has been wrung out after soaked in hot water. Use this warm, wet sponge to clean away all oven grime.

--For the next recipe, gather ammonia, baking soda and water. Heat your oven to 200 degrees then turn it off. Fill a baking pan or oven-safe container with about 2 cups of ammonia and place it on the central rack of the oven. Fill a second, similar pan with 2 cups of boiling water and place it on a rack below the first container. Let them sit overnight. The next day, remove the pans and racks then use a warm, wet sponge covered in baking soda to wash down the oven.

--Gather salt, baking soda and water for this cleaner. Spritz the oven surfaces with water then sprinkle them with a mixture of the dry ingredients, using about 1 cup of baking soda and 1/3 cup of salt. Let the mixture sit on the oven surfaces overnight before wiping it off with a warm, wet sponge.

Remove oven racks and trays to scrub them separately. Use a wet, warm sponge to remove all grime from the racks and trays. Use the abrasive side of a household sponge for harder-to-clean areas
