Can ovens be cleaned with dish soap?
Dish soap is not likely to have much effect. Oven cleaners use a foam solution very strong with ammonia and lye (sodium hydroxide). The foam helps to keep the solution from dying too fast, and allowing the caustic cleaners to cling to vertical surfaces. If you try any milder cleaners you’re likely to have to continuously spray the surface to keep it wet, and scrub vigorously to remove thin layers over a very extended time.
