Commercial oven cleaners are often basic or alkaline solution based (sodium hydroxide/caustic soda). Oven cleaners can be divided into two main groups, those that work and those that don't!
* Oven cleaners that "work" usually have pH greater than 7 (basic or alkaline solution). * Fat and carbon are easily dissolved in reaction with alkaline solutions. This is why alkaline detergents are used to clean greasy ovens. The more alkaline the oven cleaner, the better the results you'll get. * Of course, good/powerful oven cleaners should contain more essential ingredients (besides being alkaline) in order to be really effective and at the same time remain relatively safe. * Since our skin likes pH-7 (i.e. balanced pH), any solution lower or greater than pH-7 getting in touch with the skin, might cause irritation or even damage. Therefore, protect your hands with rubber gloves, protect your eyes and open a window for ventilation when using alkaline oven cleaner.
* "Eco friendly" oven cleaners are simple washing up liquid in many cases. They are very limited in effect and will take much longer to work. These are the oven cleaners that "don't work"!
