How often should you clean the oven?
Every three months. It goes on the list when you tell it the oven gets used.
What it actually is, and what shifts it
Oven cleaners are strongly alkaline, which is what breaks the baked-on fat down — it is a chemical job, not a scrubbing one. Gloves, an open window, and give it the time on the tin instead of attacking it early.
Put it on a list that reminds you
“Clean the oven”, every three months. Tick it when it is done and the next date is counted from that day, not from when it was due.
