Yeah this always bothered me. If it can kill birds is it really OK for you? A coal miner wouldn’t approve of this. I can certainly smell it.
I only do this every three years or so and always in the fall when I can leave the windows open for quite a few hours.
Birds have incredibly efficient lungs, which makes them incredibly sensitive lungs at the same time.
Another danger of a similar kind is teflon or similarly coated things heating up. For humans it might be about as bad as flu-like symptoms, with our glorified air balloons of a set of lungs, but in birds it shreds the lungs from the inside
I had one of these, filthy when I moved in, so I tried the self-cleaning, pyroclastic cloud killer mode or whatever it’s called, and it gave off so much smoke I had to have all the windows open and disconnect the smoke detector and it still looked like shit afterwards.
It can take several runs if it’s really bad. And you still need to wipe it out between runs. It can’t teleport grease, it can only burn it so you can wipe it off.
The worst houshold chore. So irritating and time consuming. Then I bought a ‘self cleaning’ oven. A life changer.
Be careful with those if you have birds in the household!

Does that actually work?

All that bother and none of the benefits haha.
