Your Oven Needs a little TLC.

4/6/2021 (Permalink)

It has been a very long year for everyone. We’ve spent more time than ever in our homes and more importantly in our kitchens. Now that Spring has sprung, everyone is focused on cleaning their homes and starting fresh. While we may think of mopping, dusting and sweeping when we think of cleaning, our kitchen appliances also need some TLC. Most importantly it’s vital that our ovens receive proper attention and are cleaned on a consistent basis. Keep reading below to find out why:

• Over time food and grease stick to the plating, grills and metal trays within our ovens. If these particles are not cleaned, they will continue to burn every single time that the oven is in use, increasing the risk for an oven fire.
• Cooking with a dirty oven creates carbon-based fumes and smoke that are hazardous to your home and your health. Not to mention it alters the taste of your food!
• If you don’t feel comfortable cleaning the oven with chemicals, utilize the self-cleaning option on your oven. 
• You can also use a DIY solution of vinegar, baking soda and water. This is an awesome solution for those who don’t like using potent cleaners. The baking soda acts as the abrasive component and the water softens and loosens any baked on particles. 

If you’re not sure where to start and you’re weary of cleaning the oven yourself, SERVPRO of White Plains & New Rochelle is happy to help. Give us a call at 914-685-1560 and we can help you get your home back to a healthy and happy state.
