Stains baked in the Oven

Any one who bakes knows how messy and hard it can be to clean up the sticky spills. If not cleaned up when they occur, the stain will firmly affix it self to the interior of your oven. You can use smelly chemical oven cleaners or you can opt for common household products you have right in your pantry.

Self cleaning ovens will clean any stains by heat. With self cleaning ovens, cleaning products will damage the interior.

For home remedies oven stains can be removed with baking soda, washing soda and salt. Washing soda is found in your laundry detergent isle. You will need to combine a 16oz box of baking soda to 1/4 cup of washing soda. With a spray bottle of water, wet the stain. Then liberally sprinkle the stain with the soda mixture. Then moisten the mixture with water again. Leave this mixture there overnight and wipe off in the morning with a salt and abrasive scrubber.

Another way is to heat the oven to 200 degrees. Then turn the oven off and place a bowl of ammonia in the oven. Leave that in the oven overnight, with a fan or window open to ventilate the area. It is a smelly method but it will loosen the baked on stains, that can be washed up with soapy water.
