The dreaded task - oven cleaning!

There's no cleaning job we hate more than cleaning the oven! Greasy, baked on food can be a nightmare to shift, and a lot of the commercial cleaning products on the market use really harsh chemicals that have a list of safety precautions as long as your arm! Of course, we know that soda crystals dissolve grease excellently, and that the ingredients that make up soda crystals are far better for us and the environment, but do they do the job as well?

We sprayed liquid soda crystals all over the inside of the oven and left it for a good hour or so. When we came back a lot of the nastiness wiped off easily, and the bits that didn't just reuired another squirt and a bit of scrubbing with a scourer - and hey presto - a sparkling oven, you could eat your dinner off - or at least cook your dinner in!

It's still a nasty cleaning job, but using liquid soda crystals did made the process slightly less unpleasant. For starters we didn't have to wear industrial boiler suits, goggles and gas masks just to get a clean oven - give it a try!
