Go Green... and Get Your Oven Clean!

Commercial Real Estate Agent with American Apartment Owners Association

Earth in hands photoAs apartment owners, keeping properties clean and protecting high cost assets like appliances are a top priority. That's why, when it comes to cleaning kitchens, in particular-ovens-, it pays to think of cost-effective , environmentally friendly options.

Instead of using harsh aerosol cleaners or the "self-cleaning" cycle, both of which emit dangerous fumes, why not consider an oven liner?

An FLX oven liner is a  non-stick, easy to clean, re-usable liner that catches spills and debris from cooking.  Simply place it in the bottom of the oven and when dirty, just remove it and rinse with warm water. This should not take more than a few minutes.  No scrubbing, no harsh odors and no extra energy costs to heat the oven.

There are 2 primary environmental reasons to use an oven liner: Read more.

Great idea!  Don't know how many times I had to scrub the oven out (part of my childhood chore list).  Do you know how much they cost and where to find them?

I always just put a sheet of aluminum foil in the bottom to catch drips.
