Duration:
Allow the baking soda paste to sit for at least 12 hours, or leave it overnight for the best results. During this time, the baking soda will break down the grease and grime, loosening it from the surface of your oven.
3. Activate the Cleaning Power with Vinegar
After letting the paste sit, it’s time to introduce white vinegar to activate the cleaning reaction.
Spray the Vinegar:
Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar and spray it generously over the areas where you applied the baking soda paste. The vinegar will react with the baking soda, creating a fizzing foam. This foam helps to lift the grime and make it easier to clean.

4. Clean and Rinse
Now that the grime is loosened, it’s time to clean and rinse your oven.
Scrub Gently:
Using a damp sponge or cloth, gently scrub the surfaces of your oven to remove the baking soda paste and loosened grime. For more stubborn spots, use a soft, non-abrasive sponge to avoid scratching your oven’s interior.
