FAQ:
Q: Can I use this method on a self-cleaning oven?
A: Yes! This natural method is safe for all oven types, including self-cleaning ovens. Just avoid using it during the self-cleaning cycle.
Q: How do I clean the oven racks?
A: Soak the racks in warm, soapy water for a few hours, then scrub them gently with a sponge. For tougher spots, you can use the same baking soda paste.
Q: Can I use other types of vinegar?
A: White vinegar is recommended because it’s colorless and won’t stain your oven. However, apple cider vinegar can also work if you’re in a pinch.
Q: My oven still smells after cleaning. What can I do?
A: If there’s an odor lingering, try leaving a bowl of water with a few lemon slices in the oven and baking it at 200°F for 30 minutes. This helps eliminate any remaining smells.
Now you can keep your oven sparkling clean with minimal effort—no more burned-on grease or harsh chemical cleaners!
