Oven cleaning can be very hard and we all know that it’s one of the most unwanted tasks on our cleaning list. It’s an often used, less often cleaned piece of kitchen equipment. It’s not uncommon for some unnoticed stains to be burned in over time, causing them to be a real challenge to remove. No matter what type of oven you have and how frequently you clean it there will always be a time that it needs a thorough cleaning. The best way to prepare for a deep oven clean is to organize and have all the equipment that are necessary for the cleaning and accessories you need for the job on hand. It cannot be stressed enough how much easier some high-quality oven cleaning fluid can make the job. It really depends on effort you put in and how many dollars/cents you want to save at the supermarket.
First off if you are lucky enough to own an oven that can clean itself, then the work is a lot easier. It does most of the work for you but not all of it. You should use the self-clean setting once every couple of months. The good thing with these kind of ovens is that you just need to get rid of any residue or dampness after with a cloth. You will still, however, need to clean grill racks by yourself. When cleaning off steel wool and a lot of hot soapy water is the best way to complete the job.
If you have a more standard non-self cleaning model of the oven then there is obviously a bit more hardwork is involved and you will need a pair of oven gloves and tub of elbow grease. You need the gloves as liquid you use to clean your oven is often very powerful as it is designed to burn through built up grease. It’s therefore very advisable to protect your skin. Most cleaners will be on for up to 2 hours. Once this time is up you should have a large basin of hot water as you are going to need to wash off the cleaning fluids. It is best to moisten your cloth or sponge before you start. Be sure to keep cleaning your cloth or sponge in your hot basin often. In the event that you don’t, then you may be just spreading dirt within the oven, as well as ingraining dirt in your cloth. Once you have gotten all the liquids off your inner door of your oven and inner walls make sure you empty out your water basin and then refill it. You need hot water to top up and a cloth as once the solution is off you will want to give the oven a clean inside and a proper wash down to remove any residue. in case you don’t get rid oflining in your oven then your first couple of food might have a foul taste like that of a chemical that won’t be too appetizing.
In life they are some days you wake up full of energy and wanting to conquer the world, while some days you wake up feeling like doing nothing, empty and lacking purpose. Self motivation is key in our everyday life and our overall well being, Zig Ziglar once said that motivation is like bathing you have to do it daily to feel the difference.
1. Go out enjoy some nature: Take time to have a walk, explore new places and feel the fresh air out of the stresses of traffic or loud music.
2. Meditation: Do you take time alone to reflect and do some thinking? I think this works wonders since it makes you make right decisions and if you fail you come back again and try.
3. Exercise: Do some yoga, play football or any other favorite sport of yours that you enjoy doing, this will make you more focused again.
4. Adjust your goals: Do not write down ambiguous goals that may seem impossible to achieve, this might discourage you. Hence for your own motivation try putting down realistic goals, put datelines and work towards them.
5. Be grateful for what you have: We all want cars, houses, money and so many other things and we forget about purpose in life. Learn to appreciate what you have currently this will motivate you to work hard for more.
6. Compete in friendly ways: Find a work colleague or classmate, set a task and compete on who accomplishes the tasks fast and correctly, you can add prizes at the end for more motivation.
7. Don’t compare yourself with anyone: You might be having age mates or classmates who are very successful and have a lot of money but look why do you have to compare your life with them? Do you know what it took for them to be there? We are all have different paths to success, others are long while others are short but at the end of the day we will all be there.
8. Appreciate your failures: Did you fail at some test or work? What did you learn from them? It should be your motivation that you will definitely do it better next time. Failure inspires Success and same to Poverty which inspires Richness.
9. Get motivation from mentors and people close to you: Talk to them and ask them whats the secret that has kept them going so far, you will be amazed to hear of a story similar to yours on how they started and finally this will change your mindset because you too will make it.
10. Enjoy your favorite music: A research showed that people who listen to different genres of music are more healthy, motivated and happy, did you know that? Music is always a natural painkiller to man.
That’s it folks, get started and let the motivation find you ahead, you will even realize that the more you do it the more it gets easier and even enjoyable.
