Oven:Warm the oven, mix a cup of water with half a cup of
cloudy ammonia in an oven-proof bowl, turn the oven off and place the bowl in it for 10 to
15 minutes, wipe the walls of the oven with a stiff brush and some bicarbonate of soda,
wipe over with a damp cloth. The racks should be easy to clean with a scourer and some
bicarbonate of soda after the cloudy ammonia treatment. After you have cleaned your oven,
wipe it over with a solution of 1 heaped teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda and 300mls of
water. This will make the job easier next time. Wipe oven with vinegar to prevent grease
