Our approach reduces the amount of labor and eliminates harsh chemicals. It’s been refined with help from Caroline Murphy and Christina Trunzo of Great Green Cleaning, who have a combined 60 years of experience cleaning kitchens, and from Amelia Hensley, a mechanical engineer and cleaning expert at GE Appliances.
What makes an oven so difficult to clean isn’t always an occasional spill, explained Trunzo, but rather the fats that aerosolize with each use, sticking to every surface. Going forward, if you wipe your oven down with a little soapy water after you bake or roast, it may rarely need any scrubbing at all.
