Introduction
Cleaning the oven can feel like a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be. With the right approach, you can tackle grime, grease, and baked-on residue in no time. This guide will walk you through a quick and easy method to restore your oven’s sparkle, without harsh chemicals or endless scrubbing.
Ingredients:
1 cup of baking soda
2 tablespoons of water
½ cup of white vinegar (optional, for extra cleaning power)
A soft sponge or cloth
A spray bottle
Directions:
Prepare the Cleaning Paste:
In a small bowl, mix the baking soda with water to create a thick paste. The consistency should be spreadable but not runny.
Apply the Paste:
Spread the paste generously over the interior surfaces of your oven, avoiding the heating elements. Pay special attention to heavily soiled areas.
Let It Sit:
Allow the paste to sit for at least 12 hours or overnight. This gives the baking soda time to break down grease and grime.
Wipe Away Residue:
Using a damp cloth or sponge, wipe away the paste, which will have absorbed much of the dirt.
Optional Step:
For stubborn stains, lightly spray white vinegar over the remaining residue. The vinegar will react with the baking soda, fizzing and loosening grime further. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Final Touch:
Rinse the oven with clean water and a fresh cloth to remove any remaining residue.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serve (your clean oven!): Before using your oven again, ensure it is completely dry.
Storage: Store the leftover baking soda and vinegar in their respective containers for future cleaning needs.
