Cleaning your oven without harsh chemicals

Oven Cleaners are one of the most toxic products in your kitchen. Oven cleaners should never touch your skin or eyes, should never be inhaled or come in contact with mucous membranes. They are even toxic to exterior surfaces of your oven like aluminium, chrome, plastics, painted areas linoleum and they are flammable.

With this being the case, how on earth are you supposed to use oven cleaners safely? Even TV commercials for oven cleaners show you wearing rubber gloves while cleaning the oven.

The greatest dangers in oven cleaners come from lye which is extremely corrosive, and can burn your skin and eyes. It is usually fatal if swallowed. Oven cleaners also contain ammonia which is extremely irritating to your eyes and lungs and hard to avoid inhaling when you have to pretty much get your head in the oven to clean it. 

Why would anyone ever bring such a product into their home when there are safer ways! Our post this week shows you how to clean your oven without the harmful chemicals making it safer for you and your family.
