Here’s a safe, simple, and highly effective way to clean your oven without harsh scrubbing, using ingredients you probably already have at home. 🧽✨
Easy Oven Cleaning Trick
Ingredients
- Baking soda – 1/2 cup
- Water – enough to make a thick paste
- White vinegar – in a spray bottle
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Baking Soda Paste
- In a small bowl, mix baking soda + water until it forms a spreadable paste.
Step 2: Apply the Paste
- Spread the paste over the inside surfaces of the oven (avoid heating elements).
- Cover greasy spots generously.
- Let it sit overnight (or at least 8–12 hours).
Step 3: Wipe Off the Paste
- Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe away the baking soda.
- Don’t worry if some residue remains.
Step 4: Spray Vinegar
- Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar and spray the oven interior.
- It will fizz and bubble, helping lift remaining grime.
Step 5: Final Wipe
- Wipe the oven thoroughly with a damp cloth until all residue is gone.
- Dry with a clean towel.
Tips
- Use gloves if you have sensitive skin.
- For tough spots, repeat the process or let vinegar sit for a few minutes before wiping.
- Regular maintenance: a quick wipe after each use prevents heavy buildup.
✅ Why It Works
- Baking soda: gentle abrasive, absorbs grease and grime
- Vinegar: reacts with baking soda to loosen stubborn residues
This method is natural, cheap, and avoids harsh chemicals, so your oven can be sparkling clean without scrubbing for hours.
