The Right Way to Clean Your Oven
Cleaning your oven can feel like a daunting task, especially when grease and grime build up over time. However, using the wrong cleaning products or techniques can make the process more difficult and even damage your oven. Common mistakes such as relying on harsh chemicals can lead to unwanted fumes, residue, and harm to the environment. Fortunately, there are natural, eco-friendly alternatives to help you clean your oven effectively and safely.
In this blog post, we’ll highlight some of the most common mistakes people make when cleaning their ovens and provide you with tips for achieving a spotless, grease-free oven—without relying on harmful chemicals. Bio-D’s Multi-Surface Cleaner is one of the best natural products for this task, offering powerful degreasing action with no damage to your oven or the planet.
One of the biggest mistakes people make when cleaning their ovens is using harsh chemicals. These cleaners often contain toxic substances that can leave behind harmful residues, emit unpleasant fumes, and even damage the oven’s surfaces. In addition to being harmful to your health, these chemicals contribute to environmental pollution.
How to Avoid It:
Instead of using harsh, chemical-laden oven cleaners, opt for natural alternatives that are both safe and effective. Try Bio-D’s Multi Surface Cleaner, which contains orange oil, known for its natural degreasing properties. It cuts through grease and grime without the use of harsh chemicals, leaving your oven clean and your home safe from harmful residues.
Another common mistake is not pre-treating stubborn grease stains before cleaning the entire oven. Trying to scrub away built-up grease and grime without allowing the cleaner to sit and break it down first can make the task much harder.
How to Avoid It:
Before scrubbing, apply your cleaning solution—whether it’s a baking soda paste, lemon juice, or Bio-D’s Multi Surface Cleaner—directly onto the stained areas. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes so the solution can penetrate the grease. This will make it easier to remove the grime when you start scrubbing, reducing the need for elbow grease and ensuring better results.
The wrong cleaning tools can scratch or damage the interior of your oven. Harsh scrubbing pads or abrasive sponges might seem like the best way to get rid of stubborn stains, but they can actually cause damage to the oven’s surfaces, leaving marks or even breaking down the finish.
How to Avoid It:
Stick to non-abrasive cleaning pads or microfibre cloths when cleaning your oven. These materials are gentle on your oven’s surfaces while still being effective at picking up grease and grime. Pair them with Bio-D’s Multi-Surface Cleaner or other natural cleaning solutions for a safe and thorough clean.
Many people focus on cleaning the oven’s interior and forget about the door and racks. These parts can accumulate grease and grime as well, and neglecting them can result in a less-than-perfect clean.
How to Avoid It:
Be sure to clean the oven door and racks as part of your regular cleaning routine. For the door, use Bio-D’s Multi-Surface Cleaner to remove any grease or food splatters. For the racks, soak them in warm water with a little Bio-D Laundry Liquid or Washing Up Liquid, then scrub gently to remove grease build-up.
Many people only clean their oven when it becomes visibly dirty, but by then, grease and grime have had time to build up, making cleaning far more difficult.
How to Avoid It:
To keep your oven in good condition, make regular cleaning a habit. Wipe down the oven after each use to prevent grease from hardening. Once a week, spray Bio-D’s All Purpose Sanitiser inside your oven, let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe it away with a damp cloth. This will keep your oven looking and smelling fresh while reducing the need for deep cleaning sessions.
Some people assume that only harsh chemical cleaners can effectively clean an oven, but this is a misconception. Natural alternatives can be just as powerful without the toxic side effects.
How to Avoid It:
Bio-D’s Multi Surface Cleaner and All Purpose Sanitiser are proof that natural ingredients can deliver excellent results. Their plant-based formulas are tough on grease yet gentle on the environment, making them a smart choice for anyone looking to maintain a clean and healthy kitchen.
