When it comes to the soap, it is much easier to clean the oven with a greasy soap. Fat dissolves fat – like solves like principle. Dirt in the oven is often grease. What is not fat is residues from food (plant or animal kingdom) a rule of thumb for natural cleaning is to use something basic to remove residues from plant or animal kingdom. Västerbottens soap is both oily and alkaline.
Another advantage of solid soap is that it is so solid and thick that you can make a thick foam out of it without it running off the inner walls and ceiling of the oven.
2. Work the soap with a little water over all surfaces of the oven. Some ovens have parts that can be taken apart and cleaned separately.
3. Start the oven at 90 - 100 degrees for about 20 minutes to get extra effect set a bowl of water. That's the steam we want! Hot water and soap work well together.
4. Now be careful when you start drying out of the oven! Let the water cool before you start drying out of the oven. Another option is to leave the oven with the soap in overnight and continue the next day. Use the ecofibre cloth when you dry and you will see that the dirt comes off very easily now. Wipe off with a damp cloth.
