Natural Cleaner for Your Oven
When it comes to cleaning your oven there are a number of products out there that are designed to make the process easier. However, most of these aerosol cleaners are bad for our health as well as the environment, so it’s a good idea to try finding natural cleaner alternatives or simply making your own from our recipe.
Why Is Oven Cleaner Bad for You?
There are many reasons that you should avoid oven cleaner, but the most obvious is that it is bad for our health. A number of spray cleaners can have the same effects, as when we breathe them in our lungs will become irritated. Not to mention the fact that they are corrosive to our skin. Some of the culprits are chemicals like lye, methylene chloride, ethylene glycol and products based on petroleum. Steer clear of these ingredients if you see them!
If you have the time and the means to do so, try making your own eco friendly oven cleaner as suggested below:
All you will need for this mixture are 5 tablespoons of distilled white vinegar, two teaspoons of borax, two cups of warm water, an eight of a cup of castile soap and a spray bottle to put the mixture in. Once you have mixed them altogether you should shake the mixture gently to make sure that all the ingredients have dissolved.
To use this cleaner to clean your oven with you should spray it onto the oven then add baking soda to the wet service, spraying again afterwards. You can leave this on overnight and just simply wipe it clean in the morning for a really great clean! This is pretty simple really, and much safer than traditional options.
If you don’t want to make a natural cleaner for your oven from scratch then there are a number available to buy. Just keep an eye out for the ingredients listed above and make sure you buy natural products.
