21 Days To A Clean Organized Home: Day 6- Lovin' The Oven Clean

Today I thought I would explain cleaning the oven in steps. Warning...lots of embarrassing pictures ahead. Well...embarrassing for me.

Step 1: (for me only) 

Hang your head low and try not to make eye contact when asked

"Why is your oven so dirty? Don't you clean it?"

Step 2: 

Show everyone a close-up of the dirty oven in all its disgusting glory.

Step 3:

Take your vacuum and suck up everything 

off the bottom of the oven.

Step 4:

Try a new process you read about on the internet to clean 

the oven door glass. 1/2 cup baking soda and a little

water to make a paste. Spread it on the glass and 

wait 20 minutes. ( I waited 30....did you see the glass?)

Step 5:

Clean the knobs. Simply pull them off and wash with

soap and water. Now notice on my stove, yucky stuff that was 

living behind those knobs. I cleaned that too!! 

Step 6:

Remove the oven racks. Take a towel and lay it

in the bottom of your bath tub. Lay the racks on top.

Then add some HOT water and Dawn.

Let them soak for a few hours. 

Scrub with scouring pad.  Rinse well, towel dry. 

Step 7:

Return to the oven glass door, wipe off baking soda and find this...

Yep...that soooo did not work!! Maybe I have too much 

burnt on stuff, I don't know. But I have a plan B. :)

Step 8:

Remove coils and take out the reflector bowls.

Soak them in some hot water with Dawn.

Depending how dirty, may need a little extra TLC with cleanser.

Don't forget to also wipe coils with a wet sponge.

Step 9:

Open top of stove and clean with a damp sponge. 

Check the sides too. Mine were yucky. ( Surprised??)

Step 10:

Clean out the bottom drawer with a wet sponge.

Step 11: 

Now this is the step I am going to take to clean 

the glass on the door and the oven itself...

hit that self-clean button!! Oh yea!

Step 12:

Put everything back and enjoy your clean oven. 

Note to self: clean periodically so you don't have to 

show readers your dirty oven!

Now, this is a picture I am proud to show you (head held high). Did you check out the glass on the door? You would like a close-up? Well...sure...

You can see the reflection of my above microwave...yea, I am that good! And you can be, too!

Step:13

The most important of all...make yourself a cocktail. 

And enjoy every sip...you earned it!!

Just a little reminder, tomorrow is link up day. So get your pictures ready. You can link up any before and after cleaning/organizing project from this week. Or if you want, all 6!! See you tomorrow! :)
