I use awesome on my cabinets.

Thanks Judy, will look for it.

I was planning to clean my oven before tomorrow, until this nasty bronchitis set in. I haven't done a thing except sleep off and on, on the couch all day. I didn't even turn on my computer, tv or radio.

How did the baking soda and peroxide work for you Kath? That's what I plan on using.

I started last night by soaking the nasty filter on the vent.

did you soak it in the peroxide and baking soda? mine is in drastic need to be cleaned but I don't know how to even take it out to clean it. I don't use the stove much so I don't use it often.

I take my vent filter outside, put it on newspapers and spray it good with foam oven cleaner, let it sit for an hour or so and rinse with water and it comes out looking like new. Easy Peasy.

Judy, I found the Awesome at the Dollar store. I wiped down some of the kitchen cabinets (the lower ones) and some doors in the hallway with it mixed in water. Didn't do a whole lot since i have to work bright and early in the morning. I did cut open some dishwashing pods and added vinegar and baking soda to water soak for the vent again and the tray from the toaster oven. I didn't have a lot of time for it to sit but both came out a little cleaner than before. This weekend when I'm off again will try the peroxide and baking soda.

I learned from one video to use aluminum foil on the electric coils. I had no idea they weren't supposed to be black. I thought they matched the rest of the stove. I think, that after using it on the coils, only the center is painted black to match the stove. I only did two of them and the difference is amazing. You ball up aluminum foil and scrub them.

That's interesting, Kathsgrdn, about cleaning the coils. Never knew that.

I cleaned my vent filter yesterday. I was going to use the baking soda/peroxide but couldn't find the peroxide. It is probably still packed up some place. So was going to use Awesome, but it wasn't doing a very good job. (It really was bad...I don't think the old lady who lived here before me had ever cleaned it.) My husband suggested oven cleaner...so I did like Mollycats. Took it outside, laid it on newspaper, sprayed it with oven cleaner, let it sit awhile and sprayed it off with the hose. Sparkling clean.
