FAQ:
Q: Can this method be used on other surfaces, like stovetops or countertops? A: Yes! This natural cleaning paste works great for various kitchen surfaces, including stovetops and countertops. Just be sure to test a small area first to ensure it doesn't scratch the surface.
Q: How often should I clean my oven glass? A: It’s best to clean your oven glass monthly or as needed, depending on how much you cook. If you use your oven frequently, you may want to clean it more often to prevent buildup.
Q: Will this method remove really stubborn stains? A: While this natural method is effective for regular grime and grease, extremely stubborn stains or baked-on residue may require extra time or multiple applications. For very tough spots, you may want to try a second round of the paste and vinegar treatment.
Q: Is this safe for all oven glass types? A: Yes, this method is gentle and safe for most oven glass types. However, it's always a good idea to check the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning your specific oven model. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that might scratch the glass.
Q: Can I use this for oven racks as well? A: Yes, you can use the same paste to clean your oven racks. Just apply it as you would to the glass, let it sit, then scrub and rinse. For heavy-duty cleaning, let the racks soak in warm soapy water first.
By using these simple, natural ingredients, you can keep your oven glass looking spotless and shiny without resorting to harsh chemicals!
