How to Clean Your Oven Without Harsh Oven Cleaner!

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Remove Oven Racks:
   Take out the oven racks and soak them in hot, soapy water for easier cleaning while you tackle the oven.
2. Make the Cleaning Paste:
   In a bowl, mix ½ cup of baking soda with a few tablespoons of water until it forms a thick paste. The consistency should be spreadable but not runny. Spread this paste all over the inside of the oven (avoid the heating elements). Make sure to cover all greasy and grimy areas.
3. Let It Sit Overnight:
   Leave the baking soda paste on for at least 8 hours (or overnight) to allow it to break down the grease and grime. This gives it time to lift off even the toughest stains.
4. Wipe Away the Paste:
   After the paste has had time to work its magic, use a damp sponge or cloth to wipe away the baking soda paste. You may need to apply a little extra elbow grease to scrub away any stubborn spots.
5. Spray with Vinegar:
   Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar and spritz any leftover residue inside the oven. The vinegar will react with the baking soda, creating a fizzy reaction that helps loosen any remaining grime and makes it easier to wipe away.
6. Final Wipe & Dry:
   Use a clean, damp cloth to remove any remaining residue. Wipe down the oven to leave it sparkling clean. Let your oven air dry before placing the racks back in.

Why This Works:

• Baking Soda – A natural, effective degreaser that lifts grease and grime without damaging surfaces.
• Vinegar – Breaks down tough stains and sticky grease when combined with baking soda.
• Lemon (optional) – Adds a fresh scent and natural degreasing power.

Pro Tip:

For extra tough stains, apply a paste made of baking soda and lemon juice. Let it sit for 15 minutes before gently scrubbing to lift off baked-on grease.

Enjoy a sparkling clean oven—without the harsh chemicals! This simple, natural method is not only effective but also safe for you and the environment.
