For Heavy Duty Cleaning: If your oven has built-up grease and burnt-on food that's harder to remove, you can add a teaspoon of dish soap to the baking soda and water mixture. This will increase the cleaning power.
For a Fresh Scent: Add a few drops of essential oils like lemon or lavender to the vinegar for a refreshing scent while cleaning.
