Vinegar Oven Cleaner Recipe

I found this recipe for cleaning your oven without harsh poisons: Make Your Own Inexpensive Natural Oven Cleaner
So, I'm giving it a try on our nasty oven and broiler. I love using the broiler, but it was starting to 'smoke', it had gotten so filthy!
Following the directions, I got together all the ingredients.

1 Tablespoon Dr. Bronner's liquid Peppermint Castile Soap
1 1/2 cup baking soda
2-4 drops lavender essential oil (you can use any scent you like, or none at all)
1/4 cup organic white vinegar (you can also use apple cider vinegar)
Water, as needed to make a “paintable” but thick paste

Mixed them in a bowl, and used a basting brush to 'paint' the oven! Looks messy, doesn't it! ;)

I'll let all of that set for a few hours before wiping it off. Hopefully, it will all be sparkly!

Well, I think it worked pretty well since the oven and broiler were so filthy to begin with. I left most of it overnight. It may take a couple more pastings to get the oven door and the shelves really clean, though. And, there are still a few areas on the broiler pan to work on. But, I am happy with it. I'll use this recipe again.

Dr. Bronner's Coconut Oil product

I was thrilled to find this product at my local food co-op today! I had coconut oil on my grocery list so I was happy to find one from a maker I like (Love Dr. B's Castile soaps and have used them for about 30 years!) But, I didn't know they had coconut oil in their product line-up! Check it out! http://www.drbronner.com/coconut_oils.html

I got the white kernel (white label) as they didn't have the other. I paid $7.15, which was a very good price.
