I Hate Cleaning
Okay, so I went too long without cleaning my NON self cleaning oven. 馃槺
It has turned into a three day job. I have 6 cans of fume free overnight cold oven cleaning spray and I don't know if it's going to be enough.馃槺馃槀
NOT because the oven is as dirty as all that...or that enormous, but because you get halfway through the cans and they stop spraying! Easy Off is worse than the generic brands for that.
All right...maybe I bought too many rolls of paper towels. I have only used one roll of Bounty so far...and I bought 12 rolls.
I am on day two now...and I've had to spray the oven a second time, because there is some really hard, really baked on black stuff that just won't come off even with my stainless steel scrubber!. That means that tomorrow, the nightmare will continue.
I can't reach the back of the oven. I sprayed the heck out of it, and I can use the oven until I get the oven cleaner off...but my arms are just too short to reach! I am having to dip paper towel wads in hot water, and try to clean back there with my old barbecue tongs. I am trying to figure out, now, if I should try to rig some sort of spray bottle so I can get water on all the bits that are wiry or weird or unscrubbible back there.
It is an electric oven, and that also means that the entire inside is full of mysterious wires, parts that can't be removed but can only be shifted, and odd little clips that fall off...I have no idea where they came from or how to put them back.
I have a full garbage bag full of nasty slimy oven yuck, and my kitchen floor is covered with paper towels to sop up the brown drips before they stain the tiles.
So give me your blessings for tomorrow, when I will face my nightmare again, and pray for me that when I am done with the oven, it will still work. 馃槀
