Is your oven caked in grease and grime from everyday cooking? It's a common issue, but harsh chemical cleaners aren't necessary. As a home cleaning expert with years of experience using natural methods, I've relied on my grandmother's proven baking soda paste recipe to restore ovens effortlessly.
Her time-tested trick tackles even the toughest baked-on messes without scrubbing.
Contents - 1 full tablespoon of baking soda
- 2 teaspoons of water
- White vinegar
- Microfiber cloth
- 2 sponges
- 1 bowl
1. Pour the baking soda into the bowl.
2. Add water.
3. Mix to form a smooth paste.
4. Dampen a sponge.
5. Apply the paste generously to the oven bottom and walls using the damp sponge.
6. Let it sit for at least one hour.
7. Dampen an old sponge.
8. Wipe away the paste and loosened dirt with the old sponge.
9. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and a fresh sponge.
10. Soak a microfiber cloth in white vinegar.
11. Wipe down the interior to degrease.
12. Finish with a clean, lightly damp sponge.
Voilà! Your oven sparkles like new, thanks to this simple baking soda paste. It's quick, effective, and uses 100% natural ingredients to dissolve encrusted grease without harsh chemicals.
This method works on pyrolysis or catalysis ovens, cleaning walls, glass doors, and more. Just allow time for the paste to penetrate.
Always apply the paste to a cold oven to avoid burns and ensure maximum effectiveness.
Use an old sponge for removal, as it picks up heavy grime that may ruin a new one.
Scale up proportions for larger batches, but prepare fresh each time—it doesn't store well.
Baking soda, a staple natural cleaner, breaks down grease and lifts dirt with its mild abrasive action and alkaline properties.
Vinegar's acidity then neutralizes residues and cuts through remaining fats for a spotless finish—no vigorous scrubbing required.
