If you prefer a quicker clean for light dirt, mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle and spray the oven interior. Let it sit for 30 minutes, then wipe with a damp cloth. This method is less intense but effective for maintenance cleaning.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use commercial oven cleaners instead of baking soda?
A: Yes, but many commercial cleaners contain harsh chemicals that require good ventilation and gloves. The baking soda method is safer, eco-friendly, and effective for most cleaning needs.
Q: How often should I deep clean my oven?
A: Ideally, deep clean every 3-6 months depending on how frequently you use it. Spot clean as needed to prevent build-up.
Q: Is this method safe for self-cleaning ovens?
A: Yes, but always consult your oven’s manual. Some self-cleaning ovens use high heat to burn off residue, which complements this natural cleaning method.
Q: Will this method remove smoke or burnt odors?
A: Yes, baking soda and vinegar neutralize odors as they clean, leaving your oven fresh.
