Confessions of a Reluctant Cleaner
I’ll admit it – I’m not the biggest fan of cleaning. There, I said it. As much as I want to have a sparkling, pristine home, the actual act of scrubbing, wiping, and disinfecting is not exactly my idea of a good time. I’d much rather be curled up with a good book or catching up on my favorite shows. But alas, cleaning is a necessary evil, especially when it comes to that dreaded kitchen appliance: the oven.
The Oven Dilemma
Ovens can be tricky beasts. They gather grime, grease, and food splatters with alarming speed, yet tackling a deep clean feels like an insurmountable task. The thought of having to dismantle the whole thing, soak the racks, and scour every nook and cranny is enough to make me want to just avoid the whole ordeal altogether. And let’s not even get started on self-cleaning cycles – those things are intense!

But friends, I’m here to tell you that oven cleaning doesn’t have to be a painful, time-consuming chore. In fact, with the right tools and a little know-how, you can get that oven sparkling clean with minimal effort. Enter the Lazy Girl’s Guide to Easy Oven Cleaning.
Norwex: Your Oven’s New Best Friend
One of the keys to my oven cleaning success? Norwex cleaning products. These microfiber marvels have been absolute game-changers for me. I used to dread tackling the oven, but now I actually kind of enjoy it (well, as much as one can enjoy oven cleaning, anyway).
For starters, the Norwex Kitchen Cloth is a workhorse. Don’t limit it to just wiping down your counters – this versatile cloth can handle so much more. I use it to quickly wipe down the inside of the oven door, the bottom of the oven, and even the outside of my appliances. Just a damp cloth is all you need to cut through that built-up grime. No harsh chemicals required!
And the Norwex Descaler? It’s a lifesaver for tackling tough spots like rust rings in the bottom of the oven. Simply spray it on, let it sit for 10 minutes, and wipe away. No scrubbing necessary! As the author at Healthy Home Cleaning puts it, “I love that I don’t have to turn to really harsh cleaners for these deep cleaning jobs.”
Laundry Detergent? For Oven Cleaning?
But wait, there’s more! Did you know that your trusty Norwex Laundry Detergent can pull double duty as an oven cleaner? Yep, you read that right. Just soak any stubborn, greasy spots in hot water mixed with a scoop of the detergent, let it sit, and voila – clean as a whistle. As the blogger at Healthy Home Cleaning says, “You don’t even need to scrub. Does it get any better than this?”
Simplicity is Key
The key to my oven cleaning success, though, has been keeping things simple. I don’t try to reinvent the wheel or get overly complicated. Damp Kitchen Cloth, Descaler for tough spots, Laundry Detergent for stubborn grime – that’s pretty much my whole arsenal. And you know what? It works brilliantly.
A Clean Oven with Minimal Effort
Gone are the days of dreading oven cleaning. Now, I actually kind of look forward to it (well, as much as one can look forward to oven cleaning, anyway). With my trusty Norwex products and a no-fuss approach, I can have that oven sparkling in no time, with minimal effort on my part. And that, my friends, is the true definition of a “lazy girl’s guide” to cleaning.
So the next time your oven starts to look a little worse for wear, don’t panic. Grab your Norwex goods, channel your inner lazy girl, and get to work. Your oven (and your future self) will thank you.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I think it’s time for a oven cleaning session. Wish me luck! And remember, you can find me (and my cleaning tips) over at Adam Cleaning – your go-to source for all things cleaning and home organization.
