They said over night. I was going to try it but when I checked my soaker it was Sard not Napisan, and it said to be careful using it on metal. I’m taking no chances with my scan pan.
you clean your oven?
I soaked mine overnight Lucky. I don’t know if you can get away with a shorter time I expect it depends how bad they are. Works well :)

I don’t have a choice BG. The grill is built in to the ovens and if you grill and they’re too bad smoke fills the house and the smoke alarms go off!

oh! so THAT is what is setting my smoke alarms off! and I was blaming Mr BG for burning his toast! lol!
I use soda bicarb. apply generously, turn the oven on to low, then take to the laundry tub and most of it will come of with one of those scourers suitable for corningware…
After cleaning, I try to smear some more soda bicarb on everything in the oven: this makes it easier to clean next time.
I don’t know why soda bicarb softens fats when warm, somebody with a chemistry background might fill us in…
My oven is gas, but fats are fats so this should be OK in electric ovens as well.
I like to clean my oven about every month…I have an oven that cooks 4 large pizzas at once…this helps keeps the cockroaches down as they LURVE fats and grease…the rest of my house looks like a bomb hit it but I like a clean stovetop and oven.
My grill is built in to the oven as well, but I do not clean the top of the cavity…give me a break…the smoke after a pork roast has huge “whoah!!” factor but we just open the windows and turn on all the fans…it soon dissipates…

I can’t face the idea of cleaning the oven – keeping the rest of the house vaguely inhabitable is hard enough. Hence it is the last bit of the kitchen that never got cleaned after we evicted the mice – the bottom of the oven is still covered in mouse poop!
If and when I do ever get the urge to clean the oven, I’ll try to remember to come back to this thread for tips.
Now, who nows how to get solidified treacley stuff off the stove top? It’s not a bit which is detachable so probably just a case of repeated applications of hot water to melt it off, I suppose.
All suggestions will be passed on to OH as he was the one who spilt it… :D
If it’s sugary stuff, you could try putting waterlogged old disposable rags on it as sugar melts readily in water…
If it’s fatty stuff, use soda bicarb under the rag and yep, you might need repeated applications…

Thanks Dinetta. It is sugary but doesn’t melt easily in cold water (already had to clean a bunch out of a pan), but maybe rags soaked in hot water would do the trick…

Yes, I’d go for the hot water. If it is a sealed hob, you might be able to pour boiling water CAREFULLY onto the stodge (muck you’re trying to lift off the stovetop) so’s you don’t get it down the elements / cooktop fittings and then quickly throw the cloth on to soak…
At uni once, we had a Chinese chap cook us Peking duck…yours truly had to clean the oven cavity at nobody else had a clue…I think it was the Peking duck…it was covered in honey and that stuff is tougher than enamel when baked on to something…
I didn’t have a clue either back then, it was elbow grease and gumption all the way…
What will remove dry urine from a toilet?
I’m tempted to get some hydrochloric.

I’ve never been able to fully remove the stains from under the seat. Mind you, I only use vinegar and ecualyptus oil.
I can tell you that toilets stay cleaner for longer if you go over them with a steam cleaner when you’re done with the scrubbing…
OK, ta… I’ll give that a go..
The steam cleaner doesn’t actually remove stains though – it just seems (from my experience and my brother’s) to slow down the bacteria and what not so you don’t need to clean again so soon.
(Mind you, if you’d seen my toilet, I’d be the LAST person on earth you’d want cleaning advice from!! :))
I know that this worked for me when I had to clean a toilet at a workshop—
I’m tempted to get a new one with dual flush and probably a more efficient flushing shape..
The current one is probably 40 years old! New ones are only a couple of hundred plus fitting..
Yes they aren’t that dea Collie—mine is 30 years old and as clean as the day it was put in

Gee I have a trigger happy finger today…
Vinegar with soda bicarb…
You may need a scourer suitable for CorningWare as well…throw it away after…
Bon008’s advice re eucalyptus oil sounds good, I might give it a try…I have a septic system and hydrochloric does not sound suitable…

Would he be speaking of the stuff that gets up under the pointy end of the rim? That’s what I’m speaking of…
When I cleaned for a living and was cleaning the AIS for the athletes….. every so often a look would loose all the water in the pan and dry out……
Holy crap!!!!!! The smell that came up from the pipes:(
It was vomiting time when running to find which loo was dry and flush it to get the water back and the smell gone. Only time I ever smelt a small in the toilets.
Never could smell the odor in the men’s loos when I was house keeping….. SIL was annoyed with me….LOL
This thread is so hijacked…..LOL
From food to the loo…. but come to think of it…they go together.:P
Thanks for the vinegar and bicarb trick – I will try that next time instead of straight vinegar.
I was thinking of buying that Spotless book, but maybe I just need to ask Dinetta more questions :D

Every couple of months I take the whole lid off…Sonny Joe has a couple of lovely mates (they even included him in their family photo…) but after they have been to visit somehow there is a residue under the seat hinges…
Asked Sonny Joe to clean the toilet the other day, meaning a wipe with the vinegar, and he had the lid off, just like MuM….

Hopefully she will see it as her job to pump the grey water (and clean the expeller of the pump), and mow the yard…he’s right with the chainsaw, tho’…we need to expand his chef’s repertoire as well, beyond the spag bol with a bought bottle of sauce…
…but he is a great little guy…so is his big brother if I yell at him…

I bought some caustic soda today to clean the walls of the oven, Can’t stand those sprays they choke you or they don’t work. I used to buy a tin of caustic soda gel called Kleenoff which you painted on and it was brilliant. Going to make a paste with the crystals.

Sorry – Yes – I found her comment afterwards – still climbing. If I don’t answer when I think of it, trouble finding the post again – especially tonight- so slow to load.
Don’t know if it my PC or the forum at this stage?

No worries…forum is slow to load tonight but I’m not sure why…usually it’s only when there’s a couple of us all talking at once…not happening just now!

I bought a new oven cleaner from bunnings. It’s a gel with a built in brush applicator. Haven’t opened it yet but it’ll have to be better than a spray.

Sometimes when the surface glaze has worn away it’s almost impossible to get the bowl to stay reasonably clean. The same with a bath tub.
