Why regular cleaning is important

Regular cleaning of the oven is important to remove burnt food residues and grease, which not only cause bad smells but can also reduce the efficiency of the appliance. A clean oven ensures even heat distribution, which leads to better baking results. Regular cleaning also prevents the buildup of stubborn dirt, which makes cleaning more difficult and time-consuming over time. For hygiene reasons, it is also advisable to keep the oven clean to avoid the formation of bacteria and mold. A shiny oven is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also important for the health and functionality of the appliance.

The right cleaning products and methods for the oven

A sparkling oven without much effort? Choosing the right cleaning products and methods is crucial to keeping your oven sparkling. Here is an overview of commercially available, effective remedies:

  • Oven spray: Simply spray on, let it work and wipe off any dirt.
  • Gel cleaner: Ideal for stubborn incrustations. Brush on, leave to work, wipe off.
  • Cleaning foam: Foams even in corners and dissolves grease and burnt-on residue.
  • Baking soda-based cleaners: gentle and environmentally friendly, perfect for light dirt.

These special oven cleaners help with stubborn dirt by spraying them onto the affected areas and wiping them off after the exposure time. For daily use, we recommend a gentle, foam-active spray that does not require harsh chemicals.

Tip: When choosing, pay attention to compatibility with your oven material and prefer products without aggressive chemicals, such as ours Orange power cleaner . This way the shine is retained and the environment is protected.

Regardless of the method, protective gloves should be worn to protect the skin. Regular cleaning after each use prevents residue from burning in and makes maintenance easier.

Clean the oven door properly

Cleaning the oven door is easier than you think. Start by removing any coarse food residue with a wooden or plastic spatula to avoid scratches. To get the shine, mix baking soda with a little water to make a paste. Apply this paste to the door, let it work for about 20 minutes and then wipe it off with a damp cloth. You can effectively combat stubborn dirt with a splash of vinegar in the cleaning water. Use a microfiber cloth on the inside of the glass door - this ensures a streak-free shine. Finally, you can polish with a dry cloth to really remove any fingerprints. Cleaning regularly after cooking prevents dirt from settling and saves you a lot of effort.

Homemade oven cleaner: Effective home remedies for cleaning ovens

You can easily make effective cleaners yourself to keep your oven shiny. A popular mixture is a paste made from baking soda and water. Apply this to the dirty areas, leave it on overnight and simply wipe away the residue the next day. Vinegar is another miracle cure: After using the baking soda mixture, you can spray vinegar to dissolve grease and dirt. Lemon juice is also helpful in combating grease stains and leaves a fresh scent. A mixture of baking soda and salt can work wonders for stubborn dirt. Simply apply, leave on and then rinse or wipe off. With these tips, your oven will stay sparkling clean without much effort.

How to remove stubborn dirt

Stubborn dirt in the oven is annoying, but with the right tips, cleaning becomes child's play. First: Preheat the oven to around 50 degrees to loosen dirt. Then mix baking powder or baking soda with water to form a paste, apply to the dirty areas and leave to act for a few hours. Vinegar can increase the effect because it dissolves fat. Then wipe with a damp cloth. For very stubborn dirt, a mixture of detergent and lemon juice may help. Simply apply, leave to act and then scrub. An old toothbrush is suitable for gaps. Finally, wipe the oven with clean water to remove any cleaning residue. Regular use of these tips makes it easier to maintain the shine of the oven and eliminates the need for laborious cleaning.
