Homemade recipe to clean your oven, Learn

First of all, all you'll need to clean your oven are two pantry staples, probably already in your kitchen: baking soda and vinegar.

In addition, they are great ingredients for cleaning, completely simple and natural, with a lot of cleaning power. However, safer than many conventional oven cleaners, which can often leave harmful residual fumes in your oven.

Ingredients and characteristics

Baking soda (a natural alkali) and vinegar (a natural acid) work together to help remove stubborn stains and grease for easier cleaning.

If you don't like the smell of vinegar, you can add 2 or 3 drops of tea tree essential oil or Sicilian lemon to the recipe.

Way of doing

Mix 3/4 cup of baking soda and 1/4 cup of warm water, as a result you will have a paste. Remembering that being a large oven may require more. If you want to add essential oil, you can (two to three drops should be enough, but you can add more if you like).

How to apply the solution

First of all, always remove the shelves/grids, even if you use the oven's self-cleaning function. Once removed, soak them in liquid detergent for a few hours, scrub with a scouring pad, then rinse well and dry. 

If the grates need a more intense cleaning, apply the paste. Use only on stainless steel grills; baking soda can discolor aluminum.

How to clean the oven

Using a brush, spread the paste all over the inside of the oven, avoiding exposed metal surfaces and the oven door. To access narrow corners and difficult places, you can use a toothbrush. Let sit for a few minutes.

removing the solution

Remove the paste with a plastic spatula, dampening as needed. Wipe with a damp cloth, repeating to remove stains.

cleaning the door

To clean the oven glass, make a spray of equal parts water and distilled white vinegar with a few drops of lemon oil added for a pleasant scent. Use a soft cloth

cleaning frequency

The frequency of cleaning is variable, it can be once a week or once a month. Although, it will depend on how often you use the oven. However, if your oven has a self-cleaning function, it can be a great “quick” cleaning alternative.

However, you should still try to clean your oven regularly, as it is always good to preserve your appliance. Chances are you've spent a lot of money on your oven, so you should take good care of it.
