Ez off oven cleaner

[LI_Happy_Camper]

Had a really bad spill in my oven. Used EZ OFF oven cleaner on it. Got most of it out. Just want to know if this is safe to use? Not going to turn the oven on until I know for sure. Thank you in advance.

Zep Heavy Duty Oven cleaner. May need to do tough spots twice. No gloves, no going outside for an hour.

I recommend the baking soda. Totally safe ! Be patient with it, it will work.
Vinegar is also a good cleaner. Both are cheap and not harmful to skin or respiratory. Heck you can eat them !
Oven cleaners are caustic to skin. And fumes are toxic. There ought to be skull and crossbones on it.
I certainly would not put it near anything I eat.

Ez Off Oven Cleaner is sodium hydroxide in a paste form. I make my own from 100% sodium hydroxide (lye) drain cleaner and a little bit of corn starch and water added. Works exactly the same and the results are the same and I treat it with caution like it's Ez Off Oven Cleaner.

Works great for restoring cast iron pans by removing all the old crud. Have to re-season after.

Take every precaution to keep it from getting on your skin. It will seriously burn you especially if it gets on a softer part - like the inside of your arm. If you do get it on you rinse the area for at least 15 minutes in cold water. Even after that it can burn for hours.
I've used it to remove anodizing from aluminum parts, it's that strong.

When I do use oven cleaner, I will run the oven for an hour of so just to make sure all odors and any residual cleaner is gone.

That is what it is intended for, we use it all the time at home, never need it in the coach yet but will when we do need it. We hardly ever use the oven in our coach.

Define safe.

Do you mean can this be used without hurting anyone? Yes, yes it can.

Do you mean is this something that CANNOT hurt anyone? Then no, no, absolutely no, it is not.

I used it for years....it's safe. However, save some smell and $$ and put an old washcloth or towel on bottom of the oven. Then pour some ammonia on it till the rag is saturated. Close the oven, let it set over night and it'll wipe clean the next day. 🙂 🙂 I used to do that with a garbage sack for the burner trays and the oven racks in my stick built home. (I had a self-cleaning oven).

Oh -- first time you use the oven, it'll probably stink the house up...don't fear.

Thank you for your responses. Been doing this 15 years and still learning! Better to be safe than sorry!

When I restored my trailer I looked online for the solutions for oven cleaning since it looked like I had years of mess to cleanup, some of it burnt black. I stumbled on a site that said to use wetted baking soda. I didn't think it would work but I tried it anyway since I had some. Turns out it works like a champ. The trick is to keep the powder damp, wet all the way through to the oven surface. After a week of spraying water on the soda, I was able to wipe clean the oven and the 40 years of grime.

Been using Easy-Off for ... probably .... 50 years or so. Never had a problem with it. I works really great on outside grills and grilling utensils that get greased up and smoked black. Works great in every oven I've ever owned, camper and house.

Spray on, let it sit. Actually, let it sit till it turns to a power. Then just simply wipe clean. It take a day to dry out, but makes cleaning easy. You can wipe it off still wet, but you'll have a black nasty, soapy, greasy, yucky mess until it's all wiped out. Letting it dry and just use paper towel to wipe it out, works good, and minimizes the gooey mess. For more stubborn spots, just spray again, then use a scrubbie. The spot will be small and the mess won't be near as bad.

Not much difference in an oven in the home and an oven in the RV.

If it wasn't safe to use, do you really think they would be allowed to sell it,.....let alone make it ? I don't know, I'm just thinkin !
