I would try any soapy cleaner and let it sit a while. Also , if you install foil in a gas oven DO NOT cover the vent openings along each side. That goes for the racks also. Keep the foil a couple of inches inside so the oven can vent properly. I won't go into what could happen, however very important

To avoid possible heat damage to your oven, it is not recommended to line bottom of oven with aluminum foil. You can, however, place a sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil on the oven rack beneath a pie or casserole, but it should be only a few inches larger the the baking pan to allow for proper heat circulation. Or, you can place pan on foil before placing in oven. Foil sheet should be large enough so that you can turn it up loosely around pan to catch spills. The foil will catch any food that may spill before it reaches the bottom of the oven.

To remove melted aluminum foil, try heating oven on low heat and scraping with metal spatula or putty knife. Wear an oven mitt and take care not to scratch oven bottom.
