Mix baking soda with water, spread on your oven tray or whatever and leave to dry. Then rub (not rinse) off with steel wool or seomthing similarly abrasive. It dries out the dirt which then falls off when you rub.
It does the job just as well as those nasty, dangerous, poisonous, fat dissolving, vile smelling oven cleaners.
It’s also pretty good as enbalming, I believe

One of its uses has even been pointed out in popa’s mice in my house thread by purim mashgiach… to put out a bowl of baking powder and a bowl of vinegar, go to bed and the mice will soon be history!
March 28, 2012 2:37 pm at 2:37 pm #863197mom12Participantone of u are talking about soda and the other about powder…
March 28, 2012 3:50 pm at 3:50 pm #863198chocandpatienceMemberyep. i’m talking about baking soda – sodium bicarbonate.
i didn’t see the purim thread, but once you’ve done in mouse with baking powder, you could embalm it with the soda.

thinking about it, the powder is actually the soda with other things added

It might work in other places but I’ve never tried.
