How to Clean an Oven FAST with NO Harsh Chemicals
Here’s a quick and easy way to clean your oven without harsh chemicals:
1. Gather your supplies:
- Baking soda
- White vinegar
- Spray bottle
- Sponge or cloth
- Rubber gloves (optional)
2. Prepare the cleaning paste:
- In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup baking soda with 1/4 cup water to form a thick paste.
3. Apply the paste:
- Turn off and unplug your oven.
- Let it cool completely.
- Wear gloves if desired.
- Apply the baking soda paste generously to all surfaces inside the oven, including the racks.
4. Let it sit:
- Leave the paste on for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight, for tougher messes.
5. Wipe it down:
- Spray the paste with white vinegar. It will fizz and help loosen the grime.
- Wipe down all surfaces with a damp sponge or cloth.
- For stubborn spots, use a slightly abrasive sponge or a gentle scrub brush.
6. Rinse and dry:
- Wipe down the entire oven interior with a clean damp cloth to remove any residue.
- Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.
Tips for extra cleaning power:
- Steam clean: If you have a self-cleaning oven, run a short steam clean cycle after wiping down the paste.
- Tackle tough spots: For burnt-on food, make a thicker paste with baking soda and a little water. Apply it directly to the stubborn areas and let it sit for longer.
Important Note: Always refer to your oven’s manual for specific cleaning instructions.
This method is effective for light to moderate oven messes. For very heavy buildup, you may need to repeat the process or consider a professional cleaning.
