Try a lemon juice/baking soda paste.
That is why I started using foil on my pans when I put them in the oven. I could never get them totally clean. Now I use parchment paper or foil on them and don't have to look at them getting too disgusting.

Why not try oven cleaner?
I have good luck with elbow grease and a soap steel wool pad (SOS).
I think I answered this one yesterday but will try again again.
Buy commercial/restaurant weight cookie sheets by Nordicware(?) from Sams Club in packs of three or WalMart (sold individually). Come in small and large sizes. Are worth the few extras bucks you pay for them. Have have four for at least 20 yrs. and there are almost no baked on gunk on them. Clean well with Brillo or plastic net scrubbie pads. My son used to borrow mine to make cookies so I bought him some of his own. Take a look and you will be sold on them. Good luck.
Hi Christine, I make a paste of baking soda and water, apply and let it sit for a few hours, then use the rough side of a scrubber sponge to scour it off, repeat if needed.
