The Magic DIY Oven Cleaner Recipe
Here’s what you’ll need:

½ cup baking soda
¼ cup dish soap (Dawn works great!)
¼ cup white vinegar
3 tablespoons water
A few drops of lemon essential oil (optional, for a fresh scent)
🔥 How to Use It
Mix It Up – In a bowl, combine the baking soda, dish soap, vinegar, and water. Stir until you get a spreadable paste. If you want a fresh scent, add a few drops of lemon essential oil.

Apply the Magic Paste – Spread the mixture all over the inside of your oven, focusing on greasy, grimy spots. Be sure to avoid the heating elements.

Let It Sit – The key to this cleaner working effortlessly is time! Let it sit for at least 6–8 hours (or overnight if your oven is really dirty).

Wipe Away the Grime – Using a damp sponge or cloth, wipe away the cleaner. You’ll be amazed at how easily the baked-on gunk comes off!

Rinse with Warm Water – Use a clean cloth and warm water to wipe down any leftover residue.

🎯 Why This Works So Well
Baking soda acts as a gentle abrasive to break down grease and burnt food.
Vinegar cuts through tough stains and grime.
Dish soap lifts grease and loosens stuck-on messes.
Lemon essential oil adds a fresh scent while helping to break down oils.
Final Verdict: 10/10!
I genuinely can’t believe how well this worked. My oven hasn’t looked this clean in ages, and I didn’t even break a sweat scrubbing. Plus, no more toxic fumes or expensive cleaners! If you haven’t tried a homemade oven cleaner before, this is your sign to ditch the store-bought stuff and go the DIY route.
