You don’t need harsh scrubbing or chemical cleaners to get your oven spotless! Here’s a simple, effective trick that makes it look brand new:
The Simple Oven-Cleaning Trick
Ingredients:
- Baking soda
- Water
- Optional: white vinegar or lemon juice
Steps
- Make a paste
- Mix baking soda + water until thick enough to spread.
- Apply to the oven interior
- Coat the walls, floor, and racks (avoid heating elements).
- Let it sit overnight for tough, baked-on grime.
- Spray with vinegar (optional)
- Vinegar reacts with baking soda → helps lift grease and adds shine.
- Wipe clean
- Use a damp cloth or sponge to remove the paste and loosened dirt.
- Rinse and dry
- For racks, soak in warm water + baking soda for 10–15 minutes, then scrub lightly.
Why It Works
- Baking soda is mildly abrasive → scrapes off grime without scratching.
- Vinegar or lemon juice breaks down grease and neutralizes odors.
- No toxic chemicals → safe for kids and pets.
💡 Extra Tip:
- Clean your oven once a month to prevent buildup.
- Keep a small spray bottle of vinegar handy for quick spot cleaning.
