Step 4: Spray with Vinegar
- Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar and lightly mist the oven interior.
- The vinegar reacts with any leftover baking soda, creating a gentle fizz that helps lift residue.
Step 5: Final Wipe Down
- Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe away the remaining mixture.
- Repeat as needed until the oven is completely clean and streak-free.
Step 6: Clean the Oven Racks
- While waiting for the baking soda paste to work, soak the oven racks in hot water with a few tablespoons of baking soda and vinegar.
- Let them sit for at least an hour, then scrub off any remaining grime with a sponge.
- Rinse and dry before placing them back into the oven.
Bonus Tip: Keep Your Oven Cleaner for Longer!
- Place a baking sheet on the bottom rack to catch spills.
- Wipe spills immediately to prevent buildup.
- Use this cleaning method every 1–2 months to maintain a spotless oven.
