🧽 Nana’s No-Fuss Oven Cleaning Trick
You’ll need:
- Baking soda
- White vinegar
- Water
- Spray bottle or cloth
Steps:
- Remove loose debris
Take out racks and brush or wipe away crumbs. - Make a baking soda paste
Mix ½ cup baking soda with a few tablespoons of water until spreadable. - Apply the paste inside the oven
Spread on the bottom, sides, and back (avoid heating elements). Let it sit overnight or at least 6–8 hours. - Spray vinegar
Lightly mist white vinegar over the baking soda. It will fizz, helping lift grease and grime. - Wipe clean
Use a damp cloth or sponge to remove the paste and dirt. Repeat for stubborn spots if needed. - Clean oven racks
Soak racks in hot, soapy water, scrub lightly, rinse, and dry. - Replace everything
Return racks and enjoy a sparkling oven!
✅ Why it works:
- Baking soda breaks down grease and burnt-on food.
- Vinegar reacts with baking soda to loosen grime for easy wiping.
