Instructions:
Make a Paste: Start by mixing baking soda with enough water to create a spreadable paste. The exact proportions can vary, but a good starting point is ½ cup of baking soda with 2 to 3 tablespoons of water. Adjust as needed to achieve the desired consistency.
Apply Generously: Spread this paste liberally on the interior surfaces of your oven, avoiding any heating elements or gas inlets. Focus on areas with the most buildup and let the paste sit for at least 12 hours, or overnight for best results.
Spray Vinegar: After the waiting period, fill a spray bottle with white vinegar and spritz it over the baking soda paste. The vinegar will react with the baking soda, creating a foaming action that helps lift grime.
Wipe Clean: Once the foaming subsides, take a damp cloth or sponge and wipe away the paste along with the loosened dirt and grime. For stubborn spots, a gentle scrubbing with a non-abrasive sponge may be necessary.
Final Rinse: After all the paste and grime have been removed, give your oven one final wipe-down with a clean, damp cloth to remove any residue. Your oven should now look significantly cleaner and be ready for your next cooking adventure.
This homemade cleaner is not only effective but also safer for your health and the environment. Say goodbye to the days of chemical burns and watery eyes, and hello to a naturally clean oven. This DIY approach proves that sometimes, the best solutions are the simplest—and they’re often right in your kitchen cabinet.
