Here’s a quick and effective way to clean your oven and make it look almost brand new without harsh chemicals:
🧽 Fast Oven Cleaning Method
🧾 Ingredients
- ½ cup baking soda
- 2–3 tbsp water (to make a paste)
- White vinegar in a spray bottle
- Optional: dish soap
👩🍳 Instructions
- Remove oven racks
Take out racks and soak them in warm soapy water for 10–15 minutes. - Make a baking soda paste
Mix baking soda with water until it forms a thick paste. - Apply paste to the oven interior
Spread over the back, sides, bottom, and door (avoid heating elements). Let it sit 10–15 minutes for quick cleaning (for very dirty ovens, 30 minutes–1 hour is better). - Spray with vinegar
Lightly spray white vinegar over the baking soda. It will fizz and help loosen grime. - Wipe clean
Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe away the paste and grime. Repeat spraying and wiping if necessary. - Clean racks
Scrub the soaked racks with a brush or sponge, rinse, and dry. - Optional finishing touch
Buff the oven glass with a little vinegar or glass cleaner for a streak-free shine.
💡 Quick Tips
- For stubborn spots, use a plastic scraper—don’t use metal, it can scratch the oven.
- Regular weekly wipe-downs prevent heavy buildup.
- Lemon juice can replace vinegar if you want a pleasant citrus scent.
