Hi. It's Lisa here from Active Domestics and for some weird reason I have decided
to go forth and clean my other oven today.
It wasn't a planned thing but here I find myself using my valuable time
cleaning my oven. Now you can probably tell by that I'm
not a huge fan of that job and I'm really not. (Oh actually I'd better
keep these on. I might need them) and but I wanted to just make a quick
little video to remind you of a couple of things.
And that is, when you're cleaning really dirty things
remember SOAK THEM. If you can soak them in a little bit of detergent and hot
water things are going to be a lot easier to clean.
That's what I've been doing here and I will show you in a moment.
The other thing is, is that if you have the right tools for the job
you really don't need to use very many chemicals.
Now I did not break out the oven cleaner. All I've used is dish-washing liquid and
an old rag and this scrubber, so far. So I prefer not to use those chemicals,
I can't stand to breathe them or smell them. I find them
just yuck. I find them really yuck and I don't want to use them.
So basically if you remember those things:
1) soaking and 2) using the right tools you're going to make the job a lot easier.
Now first of all I want to show you the difference.
You can see (minus the bubbles) that that's already come up a lot. Now I
did, I will admit - I did just quickly go over
like that very, very quickly a while ago but you
can see how easy that has come off so I'm going to turn those around and let those have a soak for a minute (or 5).
But anyway this scrubber here I got it (from Daiso)..Can you see? I'm going to show you a
close up soon. I should show you what it's like...
First there is what it's like now---DIRTY
but this is coming off like magic. If I was sensible I'd probably be
wearing an apron but I've already been doing a couple of
um yucky jobs and I'll be having a shower soon -- so you probably
want to plan ahead and I do have an old towel here
in front of me too in case I splash water that
I'm not going to slip on the tiles.
Now this is the bit that hasn't actually had much time in the soaking
and you can just get an idea
how well that's even still coming off. It definitely helps to soak because the
suds and the detergent and the hot water just helps cut through that grease and
it makes the job so much easier. But I'll keep going and
I'll actually show you this ---
Obviously I haven't done the details yet but you can see there how easy that's
actually coming off. So I'm going to go on with the job, finish
this and I'll show you later.
So you can see here it's coming up pretty good.
Pretty good there's still definitely some bits I need to finish,
I know that. I'm going to actually change the water here and get some new
detergent. I also put some dirty towels around here
because of the splatter you can see the splatter my poor old
cloth (Scrubber) starting to show a bit of wear and tear and I've got
my old towel down there so that I don't slip on any water. So
I'll keep going and get this job done hey?
Oh it's hot sweaty work
I'm glad it's not the middle of summer.
I'm going to keep going with that and then soak this other thing because I've
got to get dinner in the oven soon but before I do I just want to quickly
show you the one that's pretty much done
so I'm pretty happy with that. Yes I could keep going and get those final
bits off but the fact is I've got to hurry up and um
gotta hurry up and get dinner in the oven so this is pretty darn good and
it's one heck of a lot cleaner than what it was before, cause
you know I've got a big family and I do a
lot of cooking and that that's why I hate cleaning the oven because
you know I don't do it nearly as often as I should. That's just the truth of it.
But anyway I'm really happy. Just detergent and water hot water and a
scrubber that is all I've been using. Nothing else. Some
old rags. Boom! Done! So happy cleaning x
See you next time.
