Is there any natural cleaning agents for cleaning burnt oven trays etc. Something kind to the surfaces . Our oven has its pyro cleaning options which are great but can’t clean everything that goes inside with that.

In all seriousness have you considered degreaser? I use this in a number of situations with success. I always buy a citrus based degreaser.

A strong solution of sugar soap may work. I don't know if this is chemical based or not.

Everything is chemical-based, including ‘natural’ materials.

Sugar soap is a generic name with no specific formula, although it is commonly an alkaline material such as sodium carbonate or hydroxide with an abrasive and likely a surfactant, diluted in water.

I put mine in the dishwasher on the intense cycle.

It seems to have formed a sort of semi sticky glaze on the trays that I can't remove now....

So- don't do this!

Yes of course everything is chemical based. I think we both know when the OP spoke of a "natural" cleaning he was expressing a preference for a product which is non-solvent based i.e. he doesn't want something which is a man-made chemical.

I'm the same I'd prefer to use a natural cleaning agent where possible. For example I like citrus based degreasers, I use vinegar for various aspects of household cleaning.

Hence my remark on sugar soap.

Cif Orange cleaner is good for grease, maybe a bit less caustic than oven cleaners
