11 Things Oven Cleaning Companies Don't Want You to Know About Hydrogen Peroxide (#4 Saves $300)

I paid a man $280 to clean my oven. When he packed up his van I saw the label on his jug: hydrogen peroxide. A dollar a bottle, and it had been in my bathroom cabinet the whole time. In this video I go through 11 things the plain brown 3% bottle will do in a farmhouse kitchen — the oven glass, the oven floor and walls overnight, the racks in the bathtub, the stove grates and drip pans, the range hood filter, burnt sheet pans, the microwave, cutting boards and counters, sponges and rags, the fridge door gasket and the grout behind the range. Number 4 is not a cleaning trick at all, it's a thing you have to STOP doing, and it's the one that saves you about $300. I also tell you where peroxide falls down, how to test whether the bottle in your cabinet is still alive or has gone to plain water, the two things you must never ever mix it with, and the one surface in my own kitchen it never touches.
