How to Remove Burnt-on Food on the Oven Floor

In a perfect world, ovens would be wiped down after daily cooking and foods would never spill in the oven. In reality, food spills are common and there is not always time in a busy cook's day to clean up after every meal. The longer food spills remain on an oven floor, the more burnt on they become until they become difficult to remove. Commercial oven cleaners work well, but they contain highly toxic ingredients and can be costly. A less expensive solution can be found in most households among the cleaning supplies.
