Julie – hey! I haven’t seen you around much – I was getting ready to send out search parties. That’s funny, because my next post for the audit is homemade cleaners. We’ll likely have many of the same.

Peggy, baking soda does work but just know ahead of time that it’s a little more time intensive. Once you get the paste on, it works really well, but takes some time to get it all off. It’s sort of pasty, or filmy I guess. But it won’t kill you like some of those oven cleaners.

I’ve heard that a baking soda paste does the job in the oven. I have to try this soon since I have a cheap apartment oven with no self-cleaning.

I loved this post, but of course the article I wrote for Bella that got me in as editor was based on making your own non-toxic cleaners.

I buy gallons of vinegar, it cleans everything and is one of the only things that can kill mold on contact without killing you if you ingest some.
