Ah, that sounds like one of those clever “oven cleaning hacks” that actually works without heavy scrubbing. Here’s a safe and simple method to make a dirty oven look as good as new:
🧽 Two-Minute Oven Cleaning Hack
What You’ll Need
- Baking soda
- Water
- White vinegar
- Spray bottle
- Sponge or cloth
Step 1: Make a Baking Soda Paste
- Mix ½ cup baking soda with a few tablespoons of water until it forms a thick paste.
Step 2: Apply the Paste
- Spread the paste all over the inside of the oven, focusing on greasy or baked-on areas.
- Avoid heating elements.
- Let it sit 6–12 hours or overnight.
Step 3: Wipe Off
- Use a damp sponge or cloth to remove the softened grime.
- For stubborn spots, gently scrape with a plastic scraper.
Step 4: Vinegar Fizz
- Lightly spray white vinegar over the oven interior.
- It will react with leftover baking soda, helping lift residue and leaving a sparkling finish.
Step 5: Final Wipe
- Wipe thoroughly with a damp cloth until clean.
✅ Extra Tips
- For regular upkeep, wipe your oven weekly to prevent heavy buildup.
- Avoid harsh chemical cleaners—they can irritate skin and leave residues.
