Idea Cleaning Tips

Fresh off a fabulously successful attempt to clean the hardened grease on the area around my oven burners, I'm inspired to hear any good cleaning tips y'all have, especially ones involving non-toxic common household ingredients.

My stovetop trick is almost too easy to brag about (and yet, I will still try): I just poured some baking soda in the moat area around the burners then sprayed water on it until it made a paste. I let it sit a few minutes, spraying it whenever it got crumbly-looking. Then I took one of those nylon scrubby things to it, and lo and behold, the gunk came right off.

I'd been trying to get that crap off for ages, using all sorts of hardcore cleansers like Formula 409 and Ajax. None of them ever made a dent in it, and the nastiness wasn't even that bad compared to some of the other 70's rental property appliances I've had in the past.

So baking soda paste as oven cleaner. Check. Your turn!
