Can detergent be used on oven?

Answer 1

Liquid Soda Crystals can be used to clean ovens, and are a lot more convenient! Simply spray over the oven door, walls and shelves and leave to work its magic for half an hour. Then use a cloth and warm water to wipe away the burnt on food and grease. The advantage of Soda Crystals is that they don't contain a cocktail of chemicals, and are not as pungent as other big brand cleaners. This site is useful for further tips - www.soda-crystals.co.uk

Answer 2

Dish soap is not likely to have much effect. Oven cleaners use a foam solution very strong with ammonia and lye (sodium hydroxide). The foam helps to keep the solution from dying too fast, and allowing the caustic cleaners to cling to vertical surfaces. If you try any milder cleaners you're likely to have to continuously spray the surface to keep it wet, and scrub vigorously to remove thin layers over a very extended time.

Answer 3

Yes, but it's not strong enough to get off the baked on goop. Use a spray oven cleaner-it contains acids, but watch the fumes.
