Day 11: 01/17/12 - The Stove-Top Oven

Today is by far the easiest day of cleaning.  It's time to clean the stove top oven.  We have a gas powered appliance so the stove top is pretty easy to clean. We just have to take the porcelain coated steel grates off the stove-top and I use a Lysol-to-water mixture to clean most all my appliances and surfaces.  With the rough side of the sponge, I scrub any caked on crap that my DH leaves behind and once all the scraps are cleaned up, the Lysol mixture is sprayed everywhere to give it a shine and to disinfect the surface too.  Making sure that the top of the oven ledge, the keypad display, front of the stove, front window, under the microwave hood and especially the knobs and underneath the knobs.

With that out of the way, the hardest stuff is already done.  There's a 30-40 minute deep cleaning and a sparkle to show for it.  But wait.... there's still the oven.  Oh yeah, the CLEAN button on the oven will take care of that.  I just set the oven to clean, select the heavy (medium or light won't be enough for this oven) and the doors automatically lock and will open in 4 hours.  From there, I will just need "dust" out the crumbs and voila!  A clean oven once again!
