Cloudy Film on Oven WallsAfter Oven Cleaning

 
Just received this email:

Help! A housesitter was doing some
home sitting for us while we were
out of town.  She had used our oven,
made a mess and wanted to take care of
it.  

She said she cleans hers by spraying
commercial oven cleaner on, THEN
turning on the self cleaning cycle and
it works like a charm.  Well, my oven
doesn't look so charming anymore. I
believe the self cleaning baked the
commercial oven cleaner into the
walls of my oven and now has a cloudy
film over everything.

After she left I tried using the commercial
oven cleaner the way the directions said
and its not getting any better.  We even
left it over night.  I tried vinegar and
water, baking soda and nothing is getting
the cloudy mess off.  I'm not sure if the
self cleaning would make the fogginess
worse or better, so I haven't tried
that yet.  Any ideas on what to do??

Thanks for your time,

Here's some information from the Easy Off
Oven Cleaning website. Note that they say
avoid using their Heavy Duty Oven
Cleaner on self-cleaning ovens:


Can EASY-OFF® Heavy Duty Oven Cleaner be
used on continuous or self-cleaning ovens?

Note that they also have a product that
they say is safe for self-cleaning ovens:

EASY-OFF® Fume Free Oven Cleaner

Could this product help you? I have no
idea.

Here's their Contact Us page:

If it were me, I'd call their 800 number.
I'd ask if they have a product that will
work in this situation.

Best Wishes!
