Regarding oven cleaning, the price difference between commercial cleaners and baking soda is really evident. Typically costing about $1, a package of baking soda has enough product for several oven cleanings. By contrast, a single bottle of commercial oven cleaner may run anywhere from $5 to $20 and usually only lasts one or two uses. Assuming you clean your oven every few months, over a year you may spend about $60 on industrial cleansers. Your yearly oven cleaning expenses with baking soda probably would be less than $5. This shows a possible over 90% savings. Moreover, baking soda is a multipurpose substance that can be used for several other cleaning chores around the house, so enhancing its value. The savings become even more important when you include the cost of safety gear sometimes required when using strong chemical cleansers, such heavy-duty gloves or face masks. Choosing baking soda as your go-to oven cleaner not only provides a cheap and environmentally friendly choice but also wise financial decision that can result in significant savings over time.
