Easy Off Heavy Duty Oven Cleaner Review

I got the great opportunity to try the Easy Off Oven Cleaner free through Smiley360 in return for my honest and unbiased opinion!

What I received

• 1 $5.00 Walmart Gift Card towards EASY-OFF® Fume Free or Heavy Duty Oven Cleaner
• Digital Coupon for $.50 off EASY-OFF®
• Smiley360 Sharing Guide

I originally wanted to get the Fume Free because i have pets and a child in the house. But the Walmart didn't have it in stock at the time of purchase. So I had to get The Heavy Duty.

I have purchased the Easy Off brand in the past, and liked it, but because of my budget, have recently only purchased the more frugal brand.

With the holidays in full gear i'm sure that many of you are baking sweet treats and good food. And i'm sure it's dribbled and left a nasty mess on the bottom of your oven! Then, instead of enjoying the good treats, your stuck cleaning and scrubbing all day.

So if you have an oven that looks anything like mine haha then your definitely going to need some help!

There are two cleaning options on the product. One for heated oven cleaning and one for cold. I chose to do the cold oven cleaning. The directions were as follows: Spray in cold oven wearing heavy gloves (such as the yellow dish gloves). Liberally spread newspaper under the oven door and surrounding area to protect floor. For ease of application, remove oven racks and clean separately. Hold can upright, point it away from your face, spray surfaces from a distance of 9-12 inches. Make sure pointed arrow is aligned  with black dot. Spray top of oven first then spray sides and bottom. After application close oven door. Allow foam to work 5-10 minutes then wipe clean with cloth or sponge, rinsing frequently. For heavily soiled areas allow to work longer. After use, rinse spray button thoroughly and drain excess water. Replace cap promptly.

Seems like a lot but i'm sure many of you have used oven spray before and can properly store your cleaners to make sure no animals or children can get to them. I also strongly recommend wearing a face mask if you have allergies or are sensitive to harsh cleaners.

Here is what my oven looked like before I sprayed it with the Easy Off.

Not as bad as it could be but not so clean either lol I have definitely been slacking on the oven cleaning. So I sprayed and waited the 5 minutes.......I did not have the big yellow gloves so I used some disposable ones that I had in my work bag! Always wear gloves when using cleaning chemicals such as this!

It worked extremely well! All I had to do was wipe most of it! There were a few heavier spots that I had to use some elbow grease on but for the most part it was the easiest and fastest time I had ever cleaned my oven!

Looks almost brand new! I was very impressed at how fast and easy it really was and even more surprised at myself for switching to a more frugal product. I used less of the Easy Off then I do of the other product and this took less time! So guess who's switching back to Easy Off? I loved it so much that I even used it on my stove top where there was built up grease and it worked just as good for that!

However I did not like that it was not the fume free and will not purchase unless it is. The chemicals were very powerful and I should have wore a face mask while using it.

I also did a video blog on youtube if you would like to SEE what the product can do! You can visit here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aePvaO9NYqg&list=UU_fJpDZql9MrZ4rpULFHi9Q

I definitely recommend the Easy Off brand to my family and friends as I know that it works tremendously well!

Zep Cleaning Product Review

I had the opportunity to try Zep cleaners for free through Crowdtap in return for my honest opinion!

I received 5; 4oz bottles of Zep cleaners: 3 Quick Clean disinfectant and 2 All-Around Oxy cleaner and de-greaser

I started out by cleaning some of the door frames in my house. I have to say it worked wonderfully! They were pretty nasty and hadn't been cleaned since.....WOW, since we purchased the house 3 years ago...I know I know, shame on me HA. Well let me tell you, they are clean now! The Zep quick clean is fantastic at getting dirt and grime off of door frames, walls, tables, counters and even worked on a dirt spot on my hardwood floors! Something my mop kept missing.

The Zep All-Around Oxy cleaner and de-greaser was a bit disappointing. My stove top was pretty bad but I would expect a de-greaser to do a better job. I did get a lot of the grease off but it left a lot too. Even when I let it soak. i scrubbed and cleaned 3 times before I gave up and used my normal cleaner.

The cleaners had a pleasant sent and didn't have that normal overpowering chemical smell other cleaners have. And I also like the fact that these are safe around kids and animals. I must warn you. I suggest wearing gloves when using this, or any other cleaning product or you will end up with fingers like mine....

Overall, I think the Zep Quick Clean Disinfectant is wonderful and I will continue to purchase and recommend the product.

The Zep All-Around Oxy cleaner and de-greaser, on the other hand, will not be added to my cleaning routine and I would not recommend for big jobs like my stove. It will work for smaller not so baked on messes but not something like what I cleaned.

Here are some more pics:

This was at a clients house: I cleaned her fridge while she napped!

This is the inside of my microwave....it wasn't bad but no one seems to want to wipe out the top....
