Here’s a simple, low-effort method to clean your oven and remove even stubborn burned grease without harsh chemicals:
Effortless Oven Cleaning Trick
What You Need
- 3 tablespoons baking soda
- 1–2 tablespoons water
- White vinegar (in a spray bottle)
- Cloth or sponge
Steps
1. Make a Paste
- Mix baking soda with a little water until you get a thick paste.
2. Apply Inside the Oven
- Spread the paste over greasy or burned areas (avoid heating elements).
- Focus on the bottom and walls where buildup is worst.
3. Let It Sit
- Leave it for at least 4–6 hours (overnight works best).
- This softens baked-on grease and grime.
4. Wipe It Off
- Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe away the paste and loosened dirt.
5. Use Vinegar Spray
- Spray white vinegar over any remaining residue.
- It will foam and lift off stubborn spots.
6. Final Clean
- Wipe everything clean with a damp cloth.
Result
- Burned grease loosens easily
- No strong chemical smell
- Oven looks clean and fresh
Extra Tips
- For very heavy buildup, repeat the process
- Warm (not hot) oven slightly before applying paste for better results
- Clean regularly to prevent thick grease layers
Important
- Do not mix vinegar directly into the baking soda paste—use it afterward
- Avoid using on self-cleaning oven coatings unless recommended
This method works because baking soda breaks down grease while vinegar helps lift and dissolve the residue—making cleaning much easier with minimal scrubbing.
