Best Answer

The chemical formulation for most known oven cleaners typically includes caustics, such as either sodium hydroxide (lye) or potassium hydroxide. While many such products are somewhat effective in their ability to clean ovens, they commonly have a high pH and are therefore undesirable because of associated hazards in handling and application. Fumes from such products are hazardous and irritating to the eyes and throat and can also cause chemical skin burns. Accidental contact of those cleaners with eyes can result in severe damage. Moreover, the odors from these products and their reaction to oven dirt are unpleasant. Finally, as oven cleaning products are generally more effective when the oven is heated, all of the above hazards and objectionable traits are exacerbated when working with heated ovens.

Most oven cleaners use lye (sodium hydroxide) as their active ingredient. Some newer ones have removed lye and substituted a mixture of potassium carbonate and detergent.
