Introduction:
Cleaning a dirty oven can often feel like a never-ending task. We’ve all been there, scrubbing away at stubborn grease and burnt stains with little success. But what if we told you that there’s a much easier way to get your oven sparkling clean without all the hard work? This simple trick, which my neighbor swore by, has completely changed the way I approach oven cleaning. If you haven’t tried it yet, you won’t believe the results—no more scrubbing for hours!
Ingredients:
Baking soda
Vinegar
Water
A spray bottle
A microfiber cloth or sponge
A bowl for mixing
Instructions:
Create the Cleaning Paste: In a small bowl, mix baking soda with a little water to form a thick paste. It should be spreadable but not too runny.
Apply the Paste: Spread the baking soda paste generously over the inside of your oven. Focus on areas with built-up grease or stains. Avoid applying the paste to any heating elements.
Let It Sit: Leave the paste to sit for at least 30 minutes, but for tougher stains, you can leave it overnight.
Spray with Vinegar: After the waiting period, fill a spray bottle with vinegar and lightly mist the oven’s interior. You’ll see the paste start to fizz as the vinegar reacts with the baking soda.
Wipe It Down: Once the fizzing subsides, use a microfiber cloth or sponge to wipe down the oven. For tougher spots, use a little more vinegar to loosen the grime.
Final Wipe: Use a clean damp cloth to wipe away any remaining residue, ensuring that your oven is clean and free of streaks.
