🧼 Easy Trick to Clean a Dirty Oven (No Scrubbing)
A simple method many people use involves steam cleaning with baking soda and vinegar. It helps loosen grease and burnt food so the oven wipes clean easily.
📝 What You Need
- ½ cup Baking Soda
- Water
- ½ cup White Vinegar
- Spray bottle or bowl
- Sponge or cloth
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Method
1️⃣ Make a Paste
Mix baking soda with a little water to form a thick paste.
2️⃣ Spread in the Oven
Apply the paste to the inside of the oven (avoid heating elements).
3️⃣ Let It Sit Overnight
Leave it for 8–12 hours. It helps break down grease and burnt residue.
4️⃣ Spray Vinegar
Spray vinegar over the dried baking soda.
It will foam and lift dirt.
5️⃣ Wipe Clean
Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe everything away.
✨ Why This Works
- Baking soda loosens grease and burnt food.
- Vinegar reacts with baking soda and helps dissolve grime.
- The combination reduces the need for heavy scrubbing.
💡 Extra Tip
For very greasy ovens, place a bowl of water with lemon slices in the oven and heat it at 120–150°C for about 20 minutes. The steam softens baked-on grease so it wipes off easily.
✅ Result: A cleaner oven with minimal scrubbing and no harsh chemicals.
