Cleaning your oven can seem like a daunting, time-consuming task. However, if you make a habit of following this simple trick after every use, you will never have to spend hours scrubbing again. Here’s how to keep your oven sparkling clean with minimal effort!
The Trick: Use Baking Soda and Vinegar Spray for Quick Maintenance
- Clean After Every Use: The secret to maintaining a clean oven is to wipe it down right after you use it, while the oven is still warm. This prevents grease and food particles from settling in and hardening, making them easier to clean.
- Spray with Vinegar: After your oven has cooled slightly, fill a spray bottle with white vinegar. Lightly spray the inside of the oven, particularly the areas where grease and stains are visible. The acidity of vinegar will break down any grease or food residue.
- Sprinkle Baking Soda: Once you’ve sprayed the vinegar, sprinkle baking soda over the damp surfaces. Baking soda acts as a mild abrasive that will gently scrub off stuck-on food without scratching your oven.
- Wipe with a Damp Cloth: Let the mixture sit for about 15-30 minutes, then use a soft damp cloth to wipe the surfaces clean. For stubborn spots, use a sponge with a bit of baking soda to scrub away any remaining residue.
- For Heavy Duty Cleaning: If there’s a lot of buildup, create a paste by mixing equal parts baking soda and water, and apply it to the oven surfaces. Let it sit overnight, then wipe it off in the morning. This will loosen up any tough grime without harsh scrubbing.
