White Vinegar is also a great source for removing tough grease stains at the bottom of your oven. It works well as vinegar itself is very acidic, it removes layers of grime fast and makes it easier to get the job done in no time.

Remove any cooked-on food with a metal spatula or ceramic hob scraper, then use a gel or spray-on oven cleaner. If you don’t have these, tackle the oven door by rubbing a paste of bicarbonate of soda and water on to the glass. Leave for 15-20 minutes then wipe off with a damp microfibre cloth.

Place a large oven-proof pot or pan filled with water (you can also add 1/2 cup of white vinegar to the mix). Turn your oven on to 300F and let the water bubble, steam, and do its thing for about 30 minutes. Turn off the oven, and let it cool. Finally, you can wipe it down with a water/vinegar solution.

To clean a really dirty microwave, combine vinegar and water, lemon juice and water, or baking soda and water in a heatproof bowl. Then, heat the mixture for three to five minutes. Let it sit a bit before your wipe it out. This way, you avoid scrubbing and your microwave breaks down the tough stains and grease for you.

Steam cleaning is generally intended for routine maintenance, with the self-cleaning mode (called pyrolytic cleaning, which uses very high heat to turn residue into ash) for tougher stuff. Steam cleaning is much quicker and, because it uses lower heat, a safer alternative.

For the inside of the microwave, fill a bowl with water and add three to four tablespoons of vinegar. Then, run the microwave for two to three minutes so that the vinegar solution boils, softening the tough grease and stains. After you’ve heated up the water, wipe the inside of the microwave with a damp towel.

Baking Soda and Water Baking soda is a natural deodorizer, cleaner, and mildly abrasive, so it’s one of the best ways to clean microwave stains and buildup. Mix baking soda and water into a thick cleaning paste and apply it to baked on grime and stubborn stains.

Self-Clean Ovens The self-clean cycle is a time-saving convenience feature. The oven is cleaned by heat, at temperatures above normal cooking temperatures. During the cleaning cycle the oven is heated to about 880 degrees Fahrenheit (471 C.).

Grab a small bowl and mix a 1/2 cup of baking soda with 2 to 3 tablespoons of water. Tweak the ratio until you have a spreadable paste. Put on your gloves and using your fingers, spread the paste around the inside of your oven, covering the back, sides, bottom, top, door, corners and crevices.

Use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner and apply with a soft lint-free cloth. To bring out the natural luster, lightly wipe surface with a water-dampened microfiber cloth followed by a dry polishing chamois. Always follow the grain of stainless steel.
