Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preparation:
Start by gathering all the necessary materials. You’ll need water, white vinegar, lemon juice, and optionally, baking soda and newspaper. Make sure your oven is completely cool before starting the cleaning process. Remove the oven racks and set them aside for separate cleaning.
2. Vinegar Steam Cleaning Method:
