We never realize how dirty our oven can get after using it repeatedly but it does in fact can get very, very dirty. Usually when we clean it we go to the store and buy kitchen cleaning supplies. Often, we use a foamy time of cleaning spray for our oven but this article gives us other things that can clean it just as well. This article says we can clean an oven with Baking Soda and Vinegar to get the same result, or better. Although it may cause extra effort the pictures in the article show the results are worth it.
Key Takeaways:
- Make a baking soda paste: In a small bowl, mix a 1/2 cup of baking soda with a few tablespoons of water. Adjust the ratio of both as needed until you have a spreadable paste.
- Coat your oven: Spread the paste all over the interior surfaces of your oven, steering clear of the heating elements. Let it sit overnight: Allow the baking soda mixture to rest for at least 12 hours, or overnight.
- Wipe out the oven: After 12 hours or overnight, take a damp dish cloth and wipe out as much of the dried baking soda paste as you can. Do a final wipe down: Take your damp cloth and wipe out the remaining foamy vinegar-baking-soda mixture.
“You can buy extremely harsh chemicals that will eat through any remaining debris, but the fumes are strong enough to singe off your eyebrows. The accompanying dizziness probably isn’t worth it either.”
