Such a great guide! Love how it’s realistic and shows the reality of scraping with the razor blade, doing lots of passes and scrubbing and not just all being perfect in the first wipe. I’m a professional cleaner and this is exactly what I do (albeit with different chemicals)
It wasn't until i watched Midwest Magic Cleaning that i learned that cleaning is best thought of as removing layers. If you're cleaning an extremely dirty object, like years of caked on grease. You have to attack it multiple times. The cleaner can only take off a small layer. You have to repeatedly add cleaner, let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe off the dissolved dirt and grime, and repeat till the grime is gone Then you can do a final sanitization pass
Just found your channel and love it. Never in a million years thought I’d binge watch cleaning videos, but you got me! Thanks. (And my house thanks you too 😊)
My GE microwave from 2005 finally crapped out. At first th-cam.com/users/postUgkxO_Bc204MGjxDl87cOKcdgaRhzSqGmv_g I was unsure because I was looking for something with the exact same features. Found it with this one. Interior space cavity was large, but the outside was smaller than my old one. I love the one-button push for 1-6 minutes, and the 30 second add or 30 second start. and MOST IMPORTANTLY, I love how you can adjust the power level during cooking. The reviews said it could not be done, but this marked all the other boxes. and happy to say, it does. I can hit 1 minute start, and change the power level from 10 to 5, 30 seconds in, without interruption. my favorite feature!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 For showing me how to take the door off! Years ago you could just put the oven in the broil position and lift straight up and it would come off. They don't do that now, so I thought there was no easy way to take the door off. Thank you so much for showing me those latches!
I teally needed this video! I had no idea how to clean the oven glass, it was driving me mad. And not once did i think of using the bath!! Thank you so much ❤
My lazy @$$ just put vinegar and water in an oven safe glass container and heat it in the oven at 180 degrees for an hour or two, use a microfiber rag and wipe it down. I do it once every two weeks so my oven stays looking brand new. (I'm lazy and also very cheap 😆😆😆)
I would say this is a great maintenance cleaning method once’s it’s been deep cleaned. In the case of this oven it needed to be deep cleaned first to remove the years of grease and grime.
@@CleanThatUp yes, definitely for maintenance. I've done it since it was new when we bought it and it's from another decade 😁 I just can't see myself buying new stuff if my old stuff is in good condition. My husband used to repair and sell upcycled appliances so it kind of stuck with us to take care of everything we own. Money saved is money earned 😁
The white cloths you used, did you end up just throwing those away? Cause I'm assuming they wouldn't get all that grease and grime off in the washer huh? I love your videos. I wasn't taught how to clean properly so you have been a lifesaver!
36 years old, and over 7 years in my apartment and I finally cleaned the oven. I may have taken some liberties when it comes to procedure (i.e. wet sanding the wire racks with 1500 grit sand paper). but y'know, it turned out pretty good. Thanks man.
I have been looking FOREVER for someome to legit show me how to actually get the oven clean. It keeps getting worse. Every other video i have watched they spray mystery cleaner and then skip to the wiping it off part and its magically cleaned. I've tried everything. But this video is exactly what i needed for my oven so thank you very much for all the details. I started following you on your Amazon link.
Are you able to just wash the cloths after with the gunk and oven cleaner on them or do they get trashed? Great video. I just found your channel and I’m hooked!!! Great video!!
Wonderful video! Thank you! Okay how did you clean that light bulb on the left because I am worried about touching it for fear of it breaking. And also the ceiling below the broil element? How did you clean that? I have a non-removable element on the bottom of the stove - how do I clean around that? Can I accidentally get a little spray on the element? I'm scared!!!
I keep a supply of old wash cloths and just toss them when I’m through. Haven’t used my Scrub Daddy for for this, but it should come clean enough with Dawn.
Thank you for keeping it real. Everytime I have clean a renter oven I swear it looks just like your before. Cleaning the oven is my least favorite task.
Thank you for the video. I'm doing a trial run deep clean now so I know whether or not I need the end of tenancy cleaning to include oven or if I can do it myself. Currently waiting on my first dwell! Racks etc are in the bath with two tablets. My oven came with a big non-stick baking sheet that slides in like a rack, can that also go into the bath?
I find the hardest part to clean is the roof of the oven because i find it very hard to see and get too. Also, my oven cleaning is somewhat different because it's a GAS oven
what about if oven has a self-cleaning function? would you choose that before using any harsh cleaner? would you try that first and if necessary THEN use the Zep? the downside of the self-cleaning function is that it may get smokey or sort of smelly in house while everything is being burnt off the oven...I believe you need to do it on a day that you can keep a few windows open to air out the house.
@@CleanThatUp I really appreciate the response, thank you. Will definitely give it a try. I’ve scrubbed and scrubbed and barely made a dent on it. Lol.
For new viewers, I ruined the oven on my brand new cobalt blue LG range due to spaying it with easy off. on searching how to repair this issue I found numerous others who had also did the same! Terribly hard to clean top burners also. Buyers beware😢 ,
Dishwasher detergent is enzymes, detergent. You can try vinegar, Dawn plus warm water. But you can ask someone for a couple of dishwasher pellets, or buy the smallest liquid or pellet quantity knowing you’ll be cleaning several times if you use the oven a lot.
I just clean my oven every time I use it, if I have a spill, I plop a wet paper towel on the spill while the oven is still warm, wipe out the oven and oven door with hot soapy water, and the oven is easy to clean.
Me too and mine is so old that I don't think you can take the door off. I always used easy off oven cleaner and time and an SOS pad to scrub, twisting my body into weird positions that a contortionist wouldn't recognize. I have healing fractures in my back so I did the bottom the racks the door and half the sides. I'm taking a break trying to figure out how to do the back the top and the top half of the sides 😂 My son apparent had a pizza collapse in the middle and land on the element, 😮while I was in the hospital, don't ask about the smoke coming out of my vaccume cleaner or the flood from my washing machine 🤔😂
curious is this is a self cleaning oven. I use the self cleaning function but it never leaves it clean. Thanks for the tip on the oven racks! Trying that now.
Pouring grease down the drain is a TERRIBLE idea, especially if you have a septic tank. Doesn't matter if it's mixed with a cleaner, it doesn't decompose in the tank.
I used to clean ovens professionally and we always used glass scrapers. To be fair it looks like he's using a glass scraper there so I'm guessing he just said razor blade by accident. Just blast everything with a degreaser and then scrape away. You can use it on the glass and electric hobs as well. It's nerve wracking at first but you won't scratch anything unless you slash it
How do you get the grease that seems to get inside the glass (like its between the glass and outside oart of door). I can get my entire oven clean, but the part.
You can take off the door. Inside is the glass. You can take that out too and wash both sides of it with dish soap and water using a sponge. Then spray vinegar, wipe abs dry with a dry cloth. Hope that helps!
Oven mats, wiping the door after each use, and wiping the interior after I cook something steamy has kept my oven pretty clean for the last 2 years. Wiping the door was a habit I got from my mom. I picked up the mats on a whim at the dollar store and holy cow was that a life changing decision. I started wiping the inside after spilling something once and realizing how easy it was to clean the sides while they were still steamy. Outside of spills, I have not cleaned my oven like this in 2 years.
I’m a pro cleaner too and it’s so refreshing to see someone using actual cleaning products to show people how to clean rather than telling people to use products where they shouldn’t be used.
I have lived in my apartment for eleven years. I have never cleaned my oven ....it is spotless. My plan from day one was...."don't make a mess in the oven while cooking.... ever." I place a large aluminum tray under whatever I am cooking. Once a year, I recycle it and buy a new one.
I found baking soda / vinegar did absolutely nothing to my oven. It made it even more of a mess. Easy-off oven cleaner and a steel scrubbing pad was the only thing that worked for me. sometimes you have to let go of your reluctance to use heavy duty chemicals because nothing else works
Yeah, my oven wasn't bad but did have some baked in grease. Baking soda didn't remove it and the baking soda itself was very difficult to remove especially from crevasses.
The dishwasher pod trick for the oven racks was brilliant. The grease melted right off after an hour of soaking and only needed minimal scrubbing to finish cleaning them right up. Thanks!
This is very helpful and very specific which is important! I cleaned my oven earlier in the year and didn't get magical results but it was better. I like how you noted to do it more than one time and also to use a razor blade. I also think I will try the zep. I have done the baking soda clean which worked about the same as any other cleaner. I can see by watching you that technique and timing matter and it's good to see that effort clearly illustrated! The idea of dish pods for the racks and using a storage tub to soak them is also brilliant! My stove is probably from the early 80's! It came with the house and is double wide with a proofing oven on the side and a large space in the middle of the burners. It would be hard to find a good replacement!
On older stove tops, with burners, that razor scraping tool works wonders in take on any baked-on food. Just get the angle on the blade right and don't scratch top.
Thank you for this video! I have only cleaned an oven once and no one has ever showed me how to clean an oven before. I now feel more confident I can do it on my own. Thank you :)
Hi Brandon, from a cold and snowy London in England, UK! 🥶 Do you have any tips on how to clean the top part of inside an oven please? In all the videos of “how to clean an oven”, not one of them has ever even mentioned this part. I have mobility problems and find trying to work around the heating element very difficult. Any help hints or tips you may have would be very much appreciated! 😊 Saturday 17th December 2022 - 18:20 GMT
Hello, it’s actually snowing by me here in Wisconsin, US! That’s a great question. In most cases I will scrub and wipe down the best I can given the space. Unfortunately I have any hacks for that part (yet). Let me think on it a little more and see if I come up with anything. Thanks so much for watching, stay warm! 🙂
@@CleanThatUp thank you very much for taking the time to reply, it’s much appreciated! Thank you, I shall await your help! Maybe you could do a video on this, you’ll be the first! Thank you and you too! 🥰🥰
I cannot use dishwasher pods with fragrances. So, I'll need to find other options. I must use nontoxic cleaners. No dawn! The oven was horrible when I moved in. I didn't make it nasty and haven't used it. I only use the stove. But, it needs cleaning.
0:53 _...or you can quickly just vacuum the area..._ Oh, good. That's what I did last weekend before starting a meal. I wasn't looking to do a thorough cleaning that day; I just wanted to remove the big stuff.
Personally, I use a spatula to remove most of it and trash it. You never want to put it down the drain. Then go on to paper towels for the worst and follow up with your sponge and rags.
I absolutely love Bar Keepers Friend! It can work well for ovens. If you have a lot of grease I might suggest using a degreaser before to break down the grime. Then rinse and come through with BKF.
Soaking the oven shelves in non bio washing powder and boiling water is more effective than dishwasher pods. You can also make a much more concentrated solution. Leave overnight preferably and then to clean quickly use a metal or abrasive scourer. You don’t need to be concerned about scratching the grill shelves.
This video gave me the courage to finally deep clean my oven. It looks almost new now!
That is so awesome to hear, well done!
How is his place this dirty?!
Send me the oven cleaning vibes😂
@@cilla4000 It was his sister's oven, not his.
Such a great guide! Love how it’s realistic and shows the reality of scraping with the razor blade, doing lots of passes and scrubbing and not just all being perfect in the first wipe.
I’m a professional cleaner and this is exactly what I do (albeit with different chemicals)
It wasn't until i watched Midwest Magic Cleaning that i learned that cleaning is best thought of as removing layers.
If you're cleaning an extremely dirty object, like years of caked on grease. You have to attack it multiple times.
The cleaner can only take off a small layer. You have to repeatedly add cleaner, let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe off the dissolved dirt and grime, and repeat till the grime is gone
Then you can do a final sanitization pass
I’ve been following along with your 30 days and I’m shocked how dirty my house was!! Thank you for the inspiration, knowledge, and motivation!!

Do you recommend preheating the oven before spraying the cleaner?
Thank you for keeping it real. Everytime I have clean a renter oven I swear it looks just like your before. Cleaning the oven is my least favorite task.
How do you clean the drips between the glass panes? And is there any way to prevent them in the first place?
Depending on the oven, the glass can be removed from the oven door, as well.
Thank you for the video. I'm doing a trial run deep clean now so I know whether or not I need the end of tenancy cleaning to include oven or if I can do it myself. Currently waiting on my first dwell! Racks etc are in the bath with two tablets. My oven came with a big non-stick baking sheet that slides in like a rack, can that also go into the bath?

I’d like to know how you got your oven that dirty in the first rest place?
What about the top part where the grill element is, should the element be removed or try to clean around it.

I find the hardest part to clean is the roof of the oven because i find it very hard to see and get too. Also, my oven cleaning is somewhat different because it's a GAS oven
Her reaction comment is such a sister respons!!
Glad you recommended removing the door. I believe ALL oven doors are removable and you can youtube your make and model for how-to.
You didn’t clean the ceiling part of the oven. Should we just skip it because of the heating element?
this is what youtube is made for
How good is zep?
do you have tips to clean between the two glass windows of the over door?
what about if oven has a self-cleaning function? would you choose that before using any harsh cleaner? would you try that first and if necessary THEN use the Zep? the downside of the self-cleaning function is that it may get smokey or sort of smelly in house while everything is being burnt off the oven...I believe you need to do it on a day that you can keep a few windows open to air out the house.
All you can do is wipe them with a damp cloth really. You can clean the rest of the oven just not the actual self clean panels
I noticed a big difference between how the oven door glass looked at 0.03 and 1.55 when you "began" cleaning it.
Can the dishwasher pods trick also be used on caked on toaster oven trays and racks?.
Yes! I would suggest only using one pod and a little bit more water. It’s like magic how well it works. ✨
@@CleanThatUp I really appreciate the response, thank you. Will definitely give it a try. I’ve scrubbed and scrubbed and barely made a dent on it. Lol.

,
How do you deal with upper element and light, does spraying them really matter?
What about the Element? How do you clean that?
What about when the space between the layers of glass on the door gets dirty and dusty? How on earth do I clean that?
What is your vaccum brand?
So I have a self cleaning oven (not turning that option on - makes the entire house smell awful!) - won’t a razor blade ruin the oven’s finish?
Oven cleaning has got to be my most hated chore. I would totally pay anyone to do it for me.
You Are Funny !!!
Also, can we use steel wool 0000? 😊
Self clean and vacuum ?
retired research chemist here; baking soda and vinegar do create a desired chemical reaction but do not "cancel each other out."
I don’t know if I have that latch on my over door 😢
Are the cascade pods able to be substituted with dawn or something else? I don't have a dishwasher, so I don't have dishwasher detergent.
Dishwasher detergent is enzymes, detergent. You can try vinegar, Dawn plus warm water. But you can ask someone for a couple of dishwasher pellets, or buy the smallest liquid or pellet quantity knowing you’ll be cleaning several times if you use the oven a lot.
The whole reason I never cleaned mine was because of the damn door 😂😂😂 so informative.
I just clean my oven every time I use it, if I have a spill, I plop a wet paper towel on the spill while the oven is still warm, wipe out the oven and oven door with hot soapy water, and the oven is easy to clean.
What if your heating elements are not removable? And I have an element on the BOTTOM and top of the oven.
Me too and mine is so old that I don't think you can take the door off.
I always used easy off oven cleaner and time and an SOS pad to scrub, twisting my body into weird positions that a contortionist wouldn't recognize.

Will that oven cleaner product work on an air fryer
curious is this is a self cleaning oven. I use the self cleaning function but it never leaves it clean. Thanks for the tip on the oven racks! Trying that now.
How do you get the top?
What about the fan, how do you clean that?
If you are mixing the soda and vinegar together you are doing it wrong. Soda paste. Leave to dry. Then spray with vinegar.
Does it have to be dishwasher pods? I don't use those. Can you use liquid dishwasher detergent?
This is what I have had success using but you could try it!
Don't forget an oven safe oven liner...helps keep the bottom from getting really bad!
I heard but never used them before. Kinda afraid to. What brand do you recommend?
@alicea5 honestly, I got mine from Lakeside Collection.
Pouring grease down the drain is a TERRIBLE idea, especially if you have a septic tank. Doesn't matter if it's mixed with a cleaner, it doesn't decompose in the tank.
Do you need to let it cook the chemicals out before you put food in it ?
I like to make sure everything is thoroughly rinsed. That being said it doesn’t hurt to run the oven for 10/20s to burn anything remaining off.
@@CleanThatUp Only 10/20 seconds? Would you recommend longer ? Just wondering as I don't want to eat chemicals xx

@@lindahill1199 This is what I am afraid of, lol.
If your oven has a self clean feature, it will crank the temperature all the way up to 600°F and turn everything made up of proteins into ash.
If u pull straight up on your oven door it will come off and you can get inside the oven
Is Scrub Daddy too harsh for the oven? Thanks!
Where can I purchase that scraper?!? To get the hard stuff off.
Most hardware stores will have them. Here’s a link! - amzn.to/3G3SPCe

0:53 _...or you can quickly just vacuum the area..._
Oh, good. That's what I did last weekend before starting a meal.
I wasn't looking to do a thorough cleaning that day; I just wanted to remove the big stuff.
Is there a safe way to dispose of the grease from your scrubbers and towels afterwards?
Personally, I use a spatula to remove most of it and trash it. You never want to put it down the drain. Then go on to paper towels for the worst and follow up with your sponge and rags.
My oven repair man suggested using Barkeeper’s Friend - thoughts on that vs baking soda?
I absolutely love Bar Keepers Friend! It can work well for ovens. If you have a lot of grease I might suggest using a degreaser before to break down the grime. Then rinse and come through with BKF.
Now I know how to Clean That Up!!!!!
Soaking the oven shelves in non bio washing powder and boiling water is more effective than dishwasher pods. You can also make a much more concentrated solution. Leave overnight preferably and then to clean quickly use a metal or abrasive scourer. You don’t need to be concerned about scratching the grill shelves.
