Here’s a simple, chemical-free oven cleaning hack that works surprisingly well:
🧼 Baking Soda + Vinegar Method (Deep Clean)
What you’ll need:
- Baking soda
- White vinegar
- Water
- Spray bottle
- Sponge or scrub brush
- Damp cloth
Step 1: Make a Paste
Mix ½ cup baking soda with a few tablespoons of water until it forms a thick, spreadable paste.
Step 2: Spread It
Coat the inside of your oven (avoid heating elements) with the paste.
Focus on greasy or burnt areas.
Step 3: Let It Sit
Leave it for at least 8–12 hours (overnight works best).
Step 4: Wipe It Out
Use a damp cloth to wipe away as much dried paste as possible.
Step 5: Spray Vinegar
Spray white vinegar over any remaining residue.
It will foam — that reaction helps lift grime.
Step 6: Final Wipe
Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Your oven should look noticeably fresher ✨
🔥 Quick Steam Hack (Light Cleaning)
If your oven isn’t heavily dirty:
- Place an oven-safe dish filled with water + 1 cup vinegar.
- Heat at 200°C (400°F) for 20–30 minutes.
- Let it cool slightly.
- Wipe away loosened grime easily.
If you’d like, tell me how dirty your oven is (light grease vs. heavy burnt buildup) and I can tailor the method.
