How to Remove Discoloration From a Self-Cleaning Oven

A self-cleaning oven makes cleaning up major messes inside the oven less of an arduous task. When cleaning ordinary stains and discolorations it is not necessary to use the self-cleaning feature, since it uses a lot of energy and heats up your home. This feature locks the oven and raises the temperature to an intense heat for up to four hours. The heat burns any heavy residue and turns it into ash. It is a quick process to sweep out the ashes after the oven cools down. This type of stove is a wise choice for consumers who dislike using harsh chemicals for cleaning standard ovens.

Sponge
Paper towels
Baking soda
White distilled vinegar
Small bowl
Small hand broom
Soapy steel wool (optional)
Soft cleaning towel (optional)
Vegetable cooking oil (optional)
Mild dishwashing liquid (optional)

Instructions

- 1
  Wipe up any food debris or spills with a damp sponge or paper towels just as soon as the ovens cools down. Acting quickly often prevents discolorations or staining on the interior.
- 2
  Mix a thick paste of baking soda and water to clean any discolorations left from the spill. Baking soda is non-abrasive and does not scratch the oven interior.
- 3
  Wet a sponge under hot water and wring it out so that it doesn't drip.
- 4
  Dip the sponge into the baking soda paste and scrub the discoloration in a circular motion until it is gone.
- 5
  Rinse the sponge thoroughly. Mix equal parts of white distilled vinegar and water in a small bowl and dip the sponge in it. Squeeze the sponge out to prevent dripping.
- 6
  Wipe the interior of the oven with the sponge over the previously discolored area to rinse it.
- 7
  Run the self-cleaning cycle if the oven is heavily soiled or the discoloration does not diminish. Sweep the ashes out with a small hand broom and repeat the baking soda method if necessary.
