Those who hate cleaning their oven will love this trick. Gleaming shine and barely lifting a finger.

Ok, so it's bicarbonate of soda and white vinegar, but it's essentially the same thing as vagina devil magic, right? I mean I feel this kind of knowledge should be passed from mother to daughter in some sacred ritual around a fire in a clearing somewhere as a menacing moon hangs overhead. Sooooo, I tried doing this as my oven was the pits. I hadn't been able to see through the door since about 2012, despite scrubbing away at the muck of the oven regularly with wire wool and getting nowhere.
Well, strike me roan, Ails* if it didn't bloody work!
Excuse the grim photo of my 'before' oven - streaked brown with grime on the door, coated in a paste made from bicarbonate of soda, white vinegar and water - and behold the sparkly after, not perfect, but a lot better and with zero elbow grease! Amazing.
I did do the door twice as it was particularly bad, and there's a way to go before it's perfect, but I'm happy, There are some rough patches at the bottom of the oven where I'd previously used wire wool and tried to scrub 200 feet below sea level to get the oven clean, but nah, it just ruined the finish. All in all, I'm pretty chuffed with myself and my newly clean-ish oven.
Go forth, share this knowledge with your sisters from other misters, and if you are hanging around a campfire under the light of the moon, don't forget your marshmallows.
I can't believe I just blogged about ovens. WHO AM I?!

*A vintage Alf Stewart from Home and Away mention there. ;) A notable mention goes to to 'Strike me 'andsome!'
