Introduction:
Cleaning a greasy, blackened oven can be one of the most dreaded household chores. Over time, spills, splatters, and residue build-up, turning your oven into a greasy mess. Fortunately, there's a 2-minute trick that can make this task a lot easier. With the right ingredients and a little patience, you can restore your oven to its pristine condition in no time. Say goodbye to tough scrubbing and hello to a sparkling clean oven with this quick and effective cleaning hack!
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon of baking soda
1 tablespoon of water
1 tablespoon of white vinegar
A sponge or microfiber cloth
A plastic spatula or scraper (optional)
A bowl (for mixing)
Directions:
Prepare the Cleaning Paste: In a small bowl, mix the baking soda and water to form a thick paste. If the paste is too runny, add a little more baking soda.
Apply the Paste: Using a sponge or your fingers, apply the baking soda paste generously to the greasy, blackened spots inside your oven. Be sure to cover all the areas with visible stains, avoiding the heating elements if possible.
Add Vinegar: Pour the white vinegar into a spray bottle. Lightly spray the vinegar over the baking soda paste. The vinegar will fizz when it reacts with the baking soda, helping to lift the grime.
Wait for Two Minutes: Allow the paste and vinegar to sit for about two minutes. This short waiting period is key to loosening up the grease and grime, making it easier to wipe away.
Wipe Clean: After two minutes, use a sponge or microfiber cloth to wipe away the paste and grime. For stubborn spots, use a plastic spatula or scraper to gently lift off the residue.
Final Wipe: Once most of the grime is gone, give the oven a final wipe with a clean, damp cloth to remove any remaining residue and vinegar smell.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Oven Ready: Once you've wiped down your oven, allow it to air dry for a few minutes before turning it on again. This ensures that no cleaning residue remains.
Storage Tips for Cleaning Supplies: Store the leftover baking soda, vinegar, and any extra paste in sealed containers for future use. The ingredients are inexpensive and easy to keep on hand for quick clean-ups.
