The birth of my 2nd wasn't half as scary as the first... I feel like I can be a good housewife as well as mamma - fingers crossed! One of the things I used to do was use professional oven cleaners. I can't say a bad word about them to be honest, at my various houses over the years I've had them in every few months. I'd been using <a href="http://www.flash-cleaners.co.uk" rel="nofollow">oven cleaner solihull</a> and I don't mind recommending them, however I am ashamed to say that it's only been recently that I even knew what the word frugal meant! So thanks again for posts like this to help me on my way to being a better stay at home mamma :) xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3073376604975931926.post-51901717242734739402013-03-02T14:54:01.605-08:002013-03-02T14:54:01.605-08:00Steel wool works wonders.

And one thing I've noticed is that the original pans that came with the stove seem sturdier than the replacement ones, so I rather keep mine clean as long as I can.

My drip pans are painted white to match my stove and they don't even get scratched with the steel wool.

In England we can buy steel wool infused with a soapy mixture and we call them Brillo pads. They are very old fashioned, but as you have discovered the steel wool is great for cleaning off stubborn stains. I use them when my baking trays have sticky substances which are hard to remove.<br />People will be so pleased you shared this tip.<br />Best Wishes<br />Daphne<br />Ivy, Phyllis and Me!https://www.blogger.com/profile/09988502694544216304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3073376604975931926.post-41382162835880014152013-02-21T14:00:00.639-08:002013-02-21T14:00:00.639-08:00looks great.. thanks for the tiplooks great.. thanks for the tipSonny Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06926830309207639536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3073376604975931926.post-33474334994640392392013-02-21T13:24:44.653-08:002013-02-21T13:24:44.653-08:00Pretty amazing stuff that Steel Wool!!!
