How to Make & Use Homemade Oven Cleaner
Step 1: Prepare the Cleaning Paste
- In a bowl, mix the baking soda, dish soap, and warm water until it forms a thick paste.
- Slowly add white vinegar, which will create a slight fizzing reaction. Stir well.
- Add a few drops of lemon essential oil for a fresh, natural scent.
Step 2: Apply the Cleaner
- Remove the oven racks and set them aside.
- Spread the paste evenly inside the oven, focusing on greasy or burnt areas.
- Let it sit for 6-8 hours or overnight to break down tough stains.
Step 3: Wipe & Rinse
- Using a damp cloth or sponge, wipe away the paste.
- For stubborn spots, use a scrubber or an old toothbrush to gently scrub.
- Dampen another clean cloth with warm water and wipe down the oven interior.
- For extra shine, spray a little vinegar and wipe it dry.
