Here’s a classic Nana-approved easy oven cleaning trick that’s simple, safe, and uses common household items:
🧽 Nana’s Easy Oven Cleaning Trick
You’ll need:
- Baking soda
- White vinegar
- Water
- Spray bottle
- Cloth or sponge
Steps:
- Remove loose debris
Take out oven racks and brush out crumbs or burnt bits. - Make a baking soda paste
Mix ½ cup baking soda with a few tablespoons of water until it forms a spreadable paste. - Apply to the oven interior
Spread the paste on the bottom, sides, and back of the oven (avoid heating elements). Let it sit overnight for tough grime. - Spray with vinegar
Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar and lightly mist the baking soda. It will fizz, helping to lift grease and stains. - Wipe clean
After the fizzing stops, use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe away the baking soda and grime. You may need a little elbow grease for stubborn spots. - Clean the racks
Soak oven racks in hot, soapy water while the paste works its magic. Scrub lightly and rinse. - Dry and replace
Dry the interior and racks, then put everything back.
✅ Why it works:
Baking soda is mildly abrasive and alkaline, breaking down grease. Vinegar reacts with it to lift stains and make wiping easier.
