Cleaning an oven can be a dreaded chore, but Nana has a simple, no-fuss trick that makes it easy, using just three natural ingredients! No harsh chemicals, no heavy scrubbing—just an effortless way to get your oven sparkling clean. This method is budget-friendly, eco-friendly, and safe for your kitchen.
What You’ll Need
- Baking Soda – A natural cleaner that cuts through grease and grime.
- White Vinegar – Helps dissolve stains and disinfects surfaces.
- Water – Activates the baking soda into a paste.
Step-by-Step Guide to a Sparkling Oven
Step 1: Prepare the Baking Soda Paste
- In a bowl, mix ½ cup of baking soda with 3–4 tablespoons of water to create a thick paste.
- Adjust the water amount as needed until the mixture has a spreadable consistency.
Step 2: Apply the Paste
- Remove the oven racks and any loose debris from the oven.
- Using a sponge or an old paintbrush, spread the baking soda paste evenly over the inside of the oven, especially on greasy spots and baked-on grime.
- Avoid applying the paste on heating elements.
- Let it sit overnight (or at least 8–12 hours) for deep cleaning.
Step 3: Wipe Off the Paste
- After letting the paste work its magic, use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe off as much of the dried baking soda as possible.
- For stubborn residue, use a plastic scraper.
