If you’ve just noticed a BBQ sauce stain on your fridge or oven, first thing you should do is try to remove as much of the sauce as possible with a paper towel. Be sure to use a gentle motion so as not to spread the stain further.
Once you’ve removed as much of the sauce as possible, it’s time to tackle the stain. For lighter stains, a mild solution of dish soap and warm water may be all you need. If the stain is more stubborn, try some white vinegar. Start by mixing one part white vinegar with four parts water and applying it to the stain using a soft scrubbing brush. Let the solution sit for a few minutes before scrubbing gently. Rinse the area with warm water when you’re done.
For more difficult BBQ sauce stains, you may want to try a more powerful cleaning agent. Ammonia is especially effective at removing tough stains, though you should use caution when handling it. Be sure to wear protective gear and work in a well-ventilated area. To use ammonia, mix one tablespoon with one quart of warm water. Apply the mixture to the stain and let it sit for five minutes. Gently scrub the area with a soft brush and rinse with warm water.
No matter which cleaning agent you use, it’s important to test a small, hidden patch of the appliance before cleaning the entire stain. This will ensure that the stain can be safely cleaned without damaging the appliance.
Once the stain is thoroughly removed, dry the surface with a soft cloth. If the stain is still present, repeat the above steps until it’s gone.
