How to Clean a Self Cleaning Oven 

Can never have enough oven clean tutorials!! They are 🥵

Thank you for this video. I have been so scared to try the self cleaning feature on my oven because I think it'll cause a fire. This is exactly what I needed to learn. Love your videos. They are so helpful.

Uh Oh... I used the yellow can on my self clean....but only a few little spots on the bottom... and wiped away... I don't think it hurt anything... but good to know I need the blue can from now on... I never use the self-clean because I'm too sketched out by it

The tip for cleaning the racks was so helpful! My racks look brand new!

I’ve tried this and it works great thank you for the video

Very satisfying to watch. My oven is not self cleaning. When I clean my oven with yellow Easy Off, after wards to protect the bottom, I buy an aluminum oven bottom from Walmart. You get two sheets. Lay one down, all your drips fall in the aluminum. When is dirty just toss & use your second sheet. Oven bottom still clean!!

A ton of helpful, well-presented information. Thanks!

What about the ceiling of the oven? That’s the most awkward place to access and probably coated with splattering.

My question is why did you not remove the door to have easier access to the inside of the oven instead of reaching in from the side?

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video! I have always used the self cleaning feature of my previous ovens. After reading comments about shortened appliance life and possible fire hazards I decided not to use the function of my new oven. I also didn’t clean up spills either. It was quite a mess with cement-like burned on grease covering a good portion of the bottom. I used your method and after three days, I got it clean again. I won’t let it get away from me again as I now know what to do for upkeep. Thank you! You and your team are the best!

What about the convection fan? How do you deal with that?

I have an antique tub and I’m not comfortable using harsh chemicals in it. I wonder if a large plastic container (like Rubbermaid) might work?

Thank you! Did you spray the ceiling of the oven too? Mine is nasty from splatters

Does it matter if it's a gas range?

Love you guys! 💞 Can I use the blue can on my gas oven? If so, do I need to cover the openings where the flames come out before spraying or just make sure I wipe them out really well?

If it is a self cleaning oven, why are you manually cleaning it? Will the self clean option not work as well to get rid of the oven grime?

Can you clean a gas stove with the blue can as well?? Do you have to worry about getting it sown where the fire is??

Great video and tips

How long do you have to wait after cleaning to use the oven?

Thanks for the cleaning tip and my oven will be very clean.👍

Is all this before you do the self cleaning that the oven does

Do you have a trick for spraying the easy off because mine sometimes stops working when there’s product still left?

Does this work on the Aqua lift to self cleaning ovens?

Before watching this video, I thought you used the blue can when you use the self-cleaning function. So, I bought the yellow can and cleaned up my oven (with a self-cleaning function) really well! Did I just wreck my oven? Or am I ok as long as I don't use the self-cleaning function?

Can you wash those re-useable cloths in the washing machine after using it for oven clean?

You can scrape off the Burt spots

Any tips form how to clean stoves grates? Mine are like heavy duty cast iron or something lol

Can you wash and dry that white towel after using oven cleaner?

Ouch. I used the yellow in a self cleaning oven. I hope I didn’t hurt the oven.

The best way to clean your oven is don't be lazy and wipe it down every day and you won't have these problems.

Oven cleaner in a garbage bag works for the grates and you can pretty much just rinse them clean the next day

Why do you have to clean the oven if it's self cleaning?

Definitely wear a mask using that stuff and wipe down the oven with warm water and a cloth. You don't want to be cooking with any cleaning residue left behind.

I thought it was self-cleaning.😂 more like clean it yourself

@sharalyn.h Every time I watch one of your videos, I feel like putting on gloves and cleaning!

Ridiculous! Why have a Self cleaning oven?

@staceyfrane

I just read online that windex is NOT SAFE for the interior of an oven, even if the main cleaning following your steps has already been completed. Have you researched this? Someone I live with is very averse to harsh chemicals. Just curious. Thanks!

Can you do a tutorial for a convection oven. It’s hard not spray the fan. I’ve made the fan blades pretty gross from spraying oven cleaner and I can’t get them nice again, even after trying to remove the fan cover.

Didn’t know we can spray on the element. Did you wipe it off with the cloth?

Great instructional video. Especially about the oven racks, they are my nemesis! Quick question, not about oven cleaning, but about cleaning. Your kitchen cabinets look very much like my cabinets. They are Kitchen Kraft brand. I checked on their website for cleaning help, but their method just doesn't remove the greasy looking streaks. I've tried making a paste out of baking soda and Dawn. It looks great and clean, and then it dries. Ugh. Do you have any cleaning tricks? Thanks!

I love it here in this Type A section of the interweb. Would love to see a “bed week”. Dedicated to all things bed.

here a hint check your oven doors many oven doors can be taken off ther like a lever and that way you dont have to crawl on floor or squat and wash... check oven manual enjoy

Kindly members mark oven grill and fryer cleaners or any heavy duty oven grill cleaners with sodium hydroxide It is one and done and a wet pumice stone

I have a question. Why is it called a self cleaning oven with even a bottom on the stove to select “ self cleaning” if it seems to be good for Nothing?

I have a client that’s has literally like an inch thick of burnt on crap at the bottom of his oven & idk what to do

@ab510819 I didn’t know you could soak the burner caps!

Thank you so much for posting! Very informative! 😊

If the interior of your oven is blue can you still use the blue can of Easy-Off? I was told NO.

I don't get it... If it takes all that work... Why call it self cleaning?

Tah Dah!🌟🌟🌟

What about racks that are coated. Mine are not silver, they are black.

Why do people not want to use the oven’s SC function? I get that if is super dirty why not, but otherwise why, help me understand!
