Oven Cleaning Woes No More
I must admit, I am not a fan of my glass stove. I yearn for the day I will have a chef’s kitchen with a gas range stove. I dream about that every night. But in the meantime, I have endured the annoyance of cleaning this glass stove for the last nine years. It’s been with me through the ups and downs of my weight loss journey, cooking all those healthy meals. And boy does it get dirty! So I scrub and use my elbow grease to try to painstakingly clean this glass oven that gets dirty at the simplest meal and is the hardest to clean with stains and food and grease that does its hardest not to budge.
Until now. Holy cow, this new cleaning hack for my glass stove has changed everything. Especially now that my little baby is now a little toddler and I am using my stove 10 times more than I ever had. The best part about this hack is that it literally takes just a few minutes, and the stove comes out cleaner and shinier than you had ever seen! Even if you are on a diet and make a mess during meal prep time.
The Magic Trio
The key ingredients are simple – Dawn dish soap, hydrogen peroxide, and baking soda. No measurements needed, just grab what you’ve got and get to work.
- Start by drizzling some Dawn dish soap all over the stove.
- Drizzle some hydrogen peroxide on top.
- Sprinkle a good amount of baking soda on the surface.
- Take a brush and mix it all together while brushing the top of the stove.
- Take a damp paper towel and wipe the soap mixture off.
Boom! Clean as a whistle. I used the brush over a couple of trouble spots, but they came up super easy, and I just wiped it off. Done and done. In just a few minutes, you have a super clean glass stovetop.
The Science Behind It
The Dawn dish soap cuts through the grease and grime, the hydrogen peroxide acts as a natural bleaching agent to lift away stuck-on food and residue, and the baking soda provides a gentle abrasive to scrub away any remaining stuck-on bits. Together, this dynamic trio transforms your oven from a mess to spotless in no time.
I didn’t measure anything – I just sprinkled and drizzled to my heart’s content. But you can start with a small amount of each and adjust as needed for your oven’s level of dirtiness. The great thing is, this method is completely customizable to your cleaning needs.
Maintaining that Sparkle
Of course, the best way to keep your oven sparkling is to wipe it down after each use. But let’s be real – that doesn’t always happen, especially when you’re a busy parent juggling work, family, and all the other responsibilities of life.
That’s where this cleaning hack really shines (pun intended). When things get a little out of control in the kitchen, just take a few minutes to apply the Dawn, peroxide, and baking soda mixture, let it work its magic, and voila – a gleaming oven that looks brand new.
No more scrubbing for hours or using harsh chemical cleaners that leave behind a noxious smell. This method is gentle, effective, and won’t break the bank. Plus, the hydrogen peroxide even helps sanitize the surface, giving you peace of mind.
So the next time your oven is looking a little worse for wear, don’t despair. Grab those three simple ingredients and get ready to be amazed at how quickly you can restore that showroom shine. Your oven (and your sanity) will thank you!
