Ah yes, this is one of those “why didn’t I know this sooner?” tricks! You can get your oven sparkling without scrubbing endlessly—here’s the clean, safe method your friend probably used:
🧼 The Simple Oven Cleaning Trick That Works Like Magic
What You Need:
- Baking soda
- Water
- Spray bottle with vinegar
- Microfiber cloth or sponge
Step 1: Make a Baking Soda Paste
- Mix ½ cup baking soda with a few tablespoons of water
- Stir until it forms a spreadable paste
Step 2: Apply to the Oven
- Spread paste all over the interior (avoid heating elements)
- Focus on greasy spots and baked-on food
- Let it sit at least 30 minutes (overnight for tough grime)
Step 3: Spray Vinegar
- Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar
- Lightly spray over the baking soda paste
- It will fizz and help lift grease
Step 4: Wipe Clean
- Use a damp microfiber cloth or sponge
- Wipe away the baking soda + loosened grime
- Rinse the cloth frequently
Step 5: Optional Final Shine
- For streak-free glass, wipe with a vinegar-water mix
- Dry with a clean cloth
⚡ Why This Works
- Baking soda is alkaline → dissolves grease
- Vinegar reacts with baking soda → helps lift stubborn burnt-on food
- No harsh chemicals, no hours of scrubbing
