Oven cleaner?

[bauchtanz]

I have a gas stove that is in need of cleaning in a major way.

Any suggestions on how to do it naturally? It is not self cleaning.

I have never had a gas stove, but I have cleaned a non-self cleaning electric oven with baking soda. I don't think it would make a difference whether it is gas or electric (if it does, someone please correct me!). Sprinkle baking soda all over the bottom, then lightly sprinkle water on top of that. Let it sit over night and wipe out in the morning. It works really well. On tougher spots, you may need to repeat a couple of nights in a row, but it will get it.
