You should clean your oven at least once a week. However, if you use it frequently, you may need to clean it more often. If you notice that your oven is getting dirty quicker than usual, it may be time to increase the frequency of your cleaning schedule. Manufacturers recommend you get them professionally cleaned at a minimum once a year professionally. We through experience recommend it every 6 months depending on what you cook in it.

So always make sure to clean your oven as often as possible. Every so often you should get it professionally cleaned as well. Even a self-cleaning oven needs to be properly cleaned, even with a damp cloth you can clean areas that might not get cleaned as often as they should.

Do Self-Cleaning Ovens Work?

Yes, self-cleaning ovens work to a degree but not completely. They have a special setting that will cause the oven to heat up to a very high temperature. This high temperature will help to Burn off any food or grease that is on the oven walls that have heat- and acid-resistant porcelain enamel. However, the high heat can damage them over time. The self-cleaning feature only cleans the oven on a basic level as well, and you will still need to clean your oven every so often to give it a deep clean. It is important to remove all fittings before you run this cycle or it will damage the oven parts.

How To Use A Self-Cleaning Function On A Oven?

Most self-cleaning ovens have a specific setting that you will need to use. Consult your oven’s manual to find out how to set it to self-clean mode. Once the oven is in self-clean mode, do not open the door until the cycle is complete. The cycle usually takes between two and four hours.

Does Baking Soda Work To Clean Ovens?

Baking soda does work in dirty ovens, but we do not recommend it. While it will help to clean your oven, it can actually do more damage than good. Baking soda can damage the materials of your oven since it is a very harsh substance. Meaning you break down the coating of your oven that helps it to deal with heat.

We recommend using hot soapy water instead.

Can I Use Dishwashing Liquid?

Soap such as dishwasher soap is perfect for a dirty oven. With a bit of elbow grease, it can leave your oven sparkling. Regular cleaning with soap will help your oven to avoid becoming damaged or faulty from dirt build-up. Hot water helps you to break down dirt and remove it. However, parts of the oven such as the heating element, which are not on show, and would need tools to be accessed, still need cleaning. This is why it is a good idea to get a professional oven cleaner as well.

Can I Make My Own Cleaning Solution?
