Introduction
Cleaning a dirty oven can be a dreaded chore, especially when grime and grease seem impossible to remove. But what if you could restore your oven to its sparkling best without the hassle of scrubbing for hours? A friend shared a simple trick with me, and now I don’t even think about scrubbing a dirty oven anymore! This method is easy, effective, and uses common household ingredients. Say goodbye to stubborn stains and hello to a spotless oven, effortlessly.
Ingredients
1 cup of baking soda
½ cup of white vinegar
A few drops of liquid dish soap (optional)
Warm water
A soft cloth or sponge
A spray bottle
Directions
Prepare the Baking Soda Paste:
Mix the baking soda with warm water to create a thick, spreadable paste. If you want an extra grease-fighting boost, add a few drops of liquid dish soap to the mixture.
Apply the Paste:
Spread the paste generously over the dirty areas of your oven, focusing on spots with baked-on grime or grease. Avoid coating the heating elements.
Let It Sit:
Allow the paste to sit for 12–24 hours. This waiting period gives the baking soda time to break down the dirt.
Spray with Vinegar:
Pour white vinegar into a spray bottle and spritz it over the dried baking soda paste. The vinegar will react with the baking soda, creating a fizzy effect that loosens grime.
