Introduction
Cleaning the oven often feels like a daunting task, but what if I told you there’s a simple, almost magical way to do it without scrubbing for hours or using harsh chemicals? With this effortless technique, you can say goodbye to grease, grime, and burnt-on food residues in just 30 minutes. No robots, no hassle—just results! Read on to discover this miracle oven-cleaning method.
Ingredients
1 cup baking soda
1/2 cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon dish soap (optional for extra grease-cutting power)
Water (as needed to make a paste)
A small bowl
A sponge or cleaning cloth
Directions
Prepare the Cleaning Paste:
In a bowl, mix baking soda, a splash of white vinegar, and enough water to form a thick paste. If desired, add a drop of dish soap for extra cleaning power. The mixture will fizz slightly, which is normal and part of the grease-fighting magic!
Apply the Paste:
Using a sponge or cloth, spread the paste evenly over the inside of your oven, focusing on areas with heavy grease and burnt-on food. Avoid applying it to heating elements or vents.
Let It Sit:
Close the oven door and let the paste work its magic for 30 minutes. The baking soda and vinegar will break down stubborn grease and grime during this time.
Wipe It Away:
After 30 minutes, use a damp cloth to wipe away the paste. You’ll notice that grease and grime come off effortlessly. For any stubborn spots, give a gentle scrub with a sponge.
Rinse and Shine:
Wipe down the oven with clean water to remove any residue. Let it air dry or wipe it with a dry cloth for a sparkling finish.
Serving and Storage Tips
Post-Clean Storage: To keep your oven fresh and clean longer, place a baking sheet on the bottom rack to catch any future drips or spills.
Frequency: Repeat this cleaning method every 1–2 months to maintain a spotless oven.
