Simple Daily Challenge – The Oven
The oven can get messy quickly, especially when family members don’t clean as they go. Leftover food baked onto oven surfaces becomes much harder to remove the longer it stays.
Case in point: A pizza slice baked face-down can be stubborn and time-consuming to clean off if it’s been left to cook in the oven.
Today’s challenge is to clean the oven, inside and out. Use your preferred cleaner or try a natural method.
Reward: 100 Olympic points for completing this challenge. Add these points to your daily total.
Have a great, productive day!
