Best Oven Cleaner To Clean A Yucky Gas Stove Oven?
I recently replaced my electric stove with gas stove and the oven is totally yucky, and so is the broiler of the oven, I really need something that is going to cut right thru baked on grease and have it all shiny and clean to cook for the holiday…..what is a good cleaner for gas stove? HELP Please!!!
Hello there,
To cut baked on grease you will really have to use a powerful (alkaline) oven cleaner. An alkaline oven cleaner regularly has pH level higher than 12 which reacts with the grease and dissolves it. (see: http://www.oven-cleaning-guide.com/-alka…
This kind of oven cleaners are usually found not in the the regular supermarkets but in shops specialized in materials for the catering industry.
I, as a professional oven cleaner, usually use WellDone oven cleaner, but you can also use others.
But pay attention, a good oven cleaner is not enough, you’d better follow the right cleaning procedure as well:
- Take the racks and shelves out of the oven, place it in the sink and cover them generously with the oven cleaner.
- Open a window, warm up the oven to 50C/120F and unplug it.
- Wear protective gloves to protect your skin from the aggressive oven cleaner.
- Apply the oven cleaner inside the oven, brush it deeply into the grease, close the oven door and wait 10-15 minutes.
- Open the door, brush thoroughly all over again and take out the filth with a soft paper.
- Clean again using dump cloth and leave the oven door open to dry.
- Go to the sink and clean the oven’s racks and shelves using schoch-bright and hot water.
Done!

I have found that your basic Easy Off oven cleaner is fine. You just spray it on and let it set for a while (like 15 minutes), and then wipe it off with a damp cloth. It really takes burned on stuff off, especially that sticky burned on grease that’s almost impossible to remove.
However, make sure this isn’t a self cleaning oven (it will have a self cleaning cycle selector and a locking door latch). A self cleaning oven works by heating up the oven to like 700 degrees. This burns the soils into an ash that can easily be wiped off of the non-stick interior surface. And, oven cleaners can damage this surface to where it’s not non-stick any more.
