Introduction
Cleaning a dirty oven can be a dreaded chore, especially when grime and grease seem impossible to remove. But what if you could restore your oven to its sparkling best without the hassle of scrubbing for hours? A friend shared a simple trick with me, and now I don’t even think about scrubbing a dirty oven anymore! This method is easy, effective, and uses common household ingredients. Say goodbye to stubborn stains and hello to a spotless oven, effortlessly.
Ingredients
1 cup of baking soda
½ cup of white vinegar
A few drops of liquid dish soap (optional)
Warm water
A soft cloth or sponge
A spray bottle
Directions
Prepare the Baking Soda Paste:
Mix the baking soda with warm water to create a thick, spreadable paste. If you want an extra grease-fighting boost, add a few drops of liquid dish soap to the mixture.
Apply the Paste:
Spread the paste generously over the dirty areas of your oven, focusing on spots with baked-on grime or grease. Avoid coating the heating elements.
Let It Sit:
Allow the paste to sit for 12–24 hours. This waiting period gives the baking soda time to break down the dirt.
Spray with Vinegar:
Pour white vinegar into a spray bottle and spritz it over the dried baking soda paste. The vinegar will react with the baking soda, creating a fizzy effect that loosens grime.
Wipe It Clean:
Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe away the mixture and grime. For stubborn spots, use a gentle scrubbing motion.
Final Rinse:
Rinse the cloth or sponge and wipe the oven interior once more to remove any residue.
Serving and Storage Tips
For an ongoing clean oven, repeat this method every few months.
Store leftover baking soda in an airtight container to keep it fresh for your next cleaning session.
