Easy Natural Oven Cleaner

Have you been looking for an Easy and Natural Oven Cleaner? I know I was. I hated wearing thick rubber gloves or eye protection to clean my oven like it directs on the can of supermarket bought oven cleaners. That stuff is seriously toxic. Think I’m being melodramatic? Google the Material Safety Data sheets for the oven cleaner you have under your sink or in your cupboard and see what it says. They all contain nasty chemicals that mess with your respiratory system, burn your skin and stuff up your hormones over time too. Read more about how our cleaning products are killing us here. Not to mention you can taste it in the food you cook in your oven for weeks after you have used it. Am I right?⠀⠀

And if you aren’t meant to dispose of the oven cleaner cans by just throwing them in your garbage bin, do you really want them in your house? The fact that the EPA classifies oven cleaners, drain cleaners, wood and metal cleaners, polishes, toilet cleaners, tile tub and shower cleaners, and laundry bleach as hazardous waste is one reason you should eliminate them from your home. 

I make my own All Natural Oven Cleaner. Sure like my Grandma used to say you need to use a bit more elbow grease when scrubbing it (not too much though) but I know that I’m not slowly poisoning myself or my family either. Using a natural oven cleaner is a no brainer for me.

My natural oven cleaner contains all natural ingredients including Young Living’s Thieves® Household Cleaner (a plant based cleaner with essential oils like clove, cinnamon, eucalyptus, rosemary and the king of cleaning oils – lemon), bicarb soda – this is the kicker as it helps break down grease as it foams up and then acts as a scrubbing agent. Plus it is super easy to use and make. Best of all there I don’t have to wear gloves or a mask with my natural oven cleaner.

You will need to use a little bit of elbow grease to scrub the oven and oven racks with a scourer and then wipe down with a sponge to remove all the remaining residue with a clean, damp sponge.⠀⠀
