Homemade Oven Cleaner – A Natural and Effective Solution for a Sparkling Kitchen

 

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of baking soda
• 1/2 cup of salt
• 1/4 cup of white vinegar
• 1/4 cup of water

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Mixture
   In a medium-sized bowl, mix the baking soda and salt. Gradually add the white vinegar and water, stirring the mixture until it forms a thick paste.
2. Apply the Paste
   Ensure your oven is cool and turned off. Using a sponge or cloth, spread the paste evenly across the interior surfaces of your oven, especially focusing on greasy or dirty areas.
3. Let It Sit
   Allow the paste to sit for at least 6 to 8 hours or overnight for the best results. The baking soda will help break down tough grease and food residue.
4. Scrub and Wipe
   After the waiting period, use a damp sponge or scrub brush to scrub the oven’s surfaces, focusing on any stubborn spots. The salt in the mixture provides a gentle abrasive action that helps lift grime.
5. Rinse and Dry
   Once you’ve scrubbed the oven thoroughly, use a clean, damp cloth to wipe away the paste residue. Make sure all areas are completely rinsed off. Dry with a clean towel.
6. Optional Final Touch
   If you want an extra shine, you can give the interior a final wipe-down with a little white vinegar on a cloth to ensure everything is sparkling clean.

Now, your oven will be clean and chemical-free, ready for your next baking session!
