You can get your oven looking almost like new in just a few minutes with a simple, low-effort method using common household items. Here’s a quick way to do it:
Start by making a fast cleaning paste using baking soda and a little water. You want it thick enough to spread, not runny. If you want extra grease-cutting power, add a few drops of dish soap.
Spread the paste inside your oven, focusing on greasy areas, the bottom, and the door glass. Avoid heating elements if it’s an electric oven. Let it sit for about 10–15 minutes—this is the “magic time” where it loosens baked-on grime.
While it sits, remove the oven racks and soak them in hot water with dish soap. If they’re very dirty, a bit of vinegar helps break down grease faster.
After the waiting time, use a damp sponge or cloth to wipe everything out. The grime should come off much easier now. For stubborn spots, gently scrub with a non-scratch pad.
For a final shine and to remove any residue, spray a little vinegar inside the oven. It will react with any leftover baking soda and help lift remaining dirt. Wipe again with a clean damp cloth.
Dry everything, put the racks back, and you’re done.
If you want, I can also give you a version that works specifically for heavy grease or a self-cleaning oven.
