Hot Oven Cleaning Tips

Break up big chunks: Use a coarse cloth or scraper to remove large, baked-on grease and debris.
Unrack and spray: Remove the oven racks and place in a sink filled with warm soapy water. Spray the oven with water.
Use baking soda after spraying: Sprinkle baking soda inside the oven and allow it to mix with the water. Wait for at least 20 minutes.
Finish cleaning your oven racks: Use warm, soapy water and a touch of vinegar to make your oven racks sparkle.
Wipe, scrub, and dry: Wipe down the interior with a wet sponge and scouring pad as required. Finish with paper towels to remove any streaks.

How to Clean Between the Glass Door on a Maytag Oven

My oven door was a mess! I do clean inside the oven and the front of the door regularly, but when liquid spilled into the vents at the top of the door, it made a big mess between the glass. I lived with it for a long time before I decided there had to be a way to get in there and clean it out. I saw a few posts on how to take apart an oven door, but none of them worked for my Maytag oven. So I figured it out and decided to pass it along in case anyone else out there has a messy Maytag as well.

The Trick to Cleaning Stubborn Grease Off Kitchen Appliances

I didn't realize how nasty the area above my stove was including the microwave and cabinets. They were so full of grease and grime it was disgusting. I spent a whole afternoon trying to clean it with hot soapy water. It worked, but not well. Plus, I had to put a whole bunch of elbow grease into it. A few friends and I started talking and the idea of using baby oil to clean off grease came up. Genius! And guess what? It really did work! Check out the results: http://www.thriftyandchic.com/2013/08/how-to-clean-grease-with-baby-oil.html
