My family of 8 is home 24/7 and we cook/bake our meals from scratch 3 times a day. We have installed a double oven in our kitchen remodel and it's bliss to have that thing in tip-top shape. Our routine around here is I offer this job up to one of my older kids so they can earn an "extra pay check" and they are usually eager as I pay well since having time to give it the attention it needs is few and far between.
KITCHEN TALK
By the way, notice the faux brick treatment I was finally able to get done on our custom cabinet. We built this to house our oven as well as have storage above and below for all my baking needs. Happy mama! I am currently working on the laundry and the rest of the kitchen where the brick is as well. Stay tuned to see more with video tutorial to follow.

Okay, back to the cleaning. Not too long ago I've shared with you how I have cleaned our vehicles, and even knocked out all the tile and nasty in our bathroom with the HomeRight Steam Machine called the AutoRight. While this steam machine is labeled for vehicles, there is plenty of uses for it in and around your home. They do offer this different steam machine, but this one works just as well. This time around this baby is going to help me and my kids get a chemical-free oven cleaning done lickety-split. {{happy dance}} The process is simple:- Fill your HomeRight Steam Machine with distilled water until full.
- Attach the appropriate nozzle for the job.
- Plug in and activate the machine and let it reach full steam - yellow light turns off.
- Have a blast! Spray the dirt, grease, and grime away.
- Wipe clean with a soft cloth
- When done empty the Steam Machine and let dry before storing.
For fun and ease of understanding how awesome this chemical-free oven cleaning really can be.
GUNK AND GOO
Here is my upper oven is normal state, bottom is similar...a hot mess.
Not so pretty, eh? But I bet yours looks similar...hahaha. What to do? Grab that steam machine and have at it. I use different attachments for different purposes: (1) nozzle attachment for nooks and crevices (2) squeegee for glass and smooth surfaces (3) black bristle brush for scrubbing and overall dirt and grime.
The Tim the the Tool Man feeling you get when you see that nasty, blucky stuff going buh-bye is intense. I love it!
Wiping away all that leftover grime feel so good. I love my oven, but I love a clean oven even better. Don't you?
CLEAN AS A WHISTLE
Now my oven is brighter, cleaner, safer, and ready to tackle what else my gang of 8 has to throw at it. Mmmm...happy mama here.
Just for reference, take a peek at this side-by-side shot of only cleaning for about 15-20 minutes. Woot!
It's that nothing-can-stop-me-now feeling you get when something goes so well and quickly. My cooktop and refrigerator are next on the hit list, then my bathroom, and then my vehicles when in spring and fall. I love a versatile tool. Now...time for you to jump on this cleaning fun bandwagon.
