🧽 Easy “No-Scrub” Oven Cleaning Trick
What you need
- Baking soda
- White vinegar
- Warm water
- Sponge or cloth
- Spray bottle (optional)
Step-by-step
1️⃣ Make a baking soda paste
Mix ½ cup baking soda with a few tablespoons of water until it forms a thick paste.
2️⃣ Spread it inside the oven
Apply the paste to the oven walls, bottom, and greasy areas (avoid heating elements).
3️⃣ Let it sit overnight
Leave it for 8–12 hours so the baking soda breaks down burnt grease.
4️⃣ Spray with vinegar
Spray or wipe white vinegar over the dried baking soda. It will foam and loosen grime.
5️⃣ Wipe everything clean
Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe away the residue. Most dirt should come off easily.
💡 Extra Tip
For very dirty ovens, place a bowl of hot water with lemon slices in the oven and heat it for 20 minutes before cleaning. The steam softens grease, making the baking soda method even easier.
✅ This method works because:
- Baking soda breaks down grease and odors
- Vinegar dissolves residue and lifts grime
