Introduction:
Cleaning the oven can often feel like one of those dreaded chores that gets put off for weeks. However, it doesn't have to be a time-consuming or difficult task. With a few simple tricks and ingredients you probably already have at home, you can achieve a sparkling clean oven in no time. This method not only saves you effort but also helps maintain the longevity of your appliance. Let’s dive into how you can clean your oven quickly and easily!
Ingredients:
Baking soda
White vinegar
Water
A bowl
A sponge or soft cloth
Rubber gloves (optional)
A spray bottle (optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the cleaning paste: In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup of baking soda with a few tablespoons of water. Stir until you get a thick paste that you can easily spread.
Apply the paste: Wearing gloves if desired, spread the baking soda paste all over the interior surfaces of your oven, especially on areas with grease or grime. Be careful to avoid the heating elements.
Let it sit: Allow the paste to sit for at least 12 hours or overnight. This waiting period gives the baking soda time to break down the dirt and stains.
Spray with vinegar: Once the paste has had time to work, fill a spray bottle with white vinegar and spritz it over the baking soda-coated surfaces. The vinegar will react with the baking soda, creating a foamy fizz that helps lift away stubborn grime.
Wipe it clean: Using a damp sponge or cloth, wipe down the interior of the oven. You may need to use a little elbow grease for any areas that are particularly grimy, but the baking soda should make it much easier to remove the dirt.
Final touch: For any leftover residue, simply wipe the surfaces again with a clean, damp cloth. Let the oven dry before using it.
