In a heated oven (about 70 °), a container with ammonia solution (ammonia) is placed on the grate, and a tray with boiling water is placed under the grate. The oven is tightly closed and left for 6-8 hours (at night). Then the oven is ventilated and wiped. To remove the unpleasant smell of ammonia, you can also boil a small container with water for 20-30 minutes, in which several tablets of coal are added. After the procedure, the oven is allowed to cool.

Strongly soiled places are sprinkled with soda and with the help of an atomizer moisturize it until the formation of gruel. This semi-liquid substance contributes to the fact that the fat is collected in lumps and then easily removed with a damp cloth. Similarly, it is possible to wash the burnt areas using a mustard powder that is mixed with water to a consistency of thick sour cream and after applying the contaminants to the sites they are kept for 30 minutes. Remove the powder along with the lagging dirt (grease) with a wet wipe.
