Cleaning an oven can often be a daunting task, especially when using commercial oven cleaners that emit strong fumes. Luckily, there's a natural and effective alternative that requires ingredients you likely already have at home. This method, taught to me by my grandmother, is easy to follow and minimizes the need for scrubbing. Here’s how you can clean your oven using a homemade cleaner.
Ingredients and Supplies
For this cleaning method, you’ll need the following items:
White Vinegar: Acts as a natural degreaser and helps to break down grime.
Dawn Dish Soap: Known for its grease-cutting power. You can use any brand, but Dawn is particularly effective.Baking Soda: Provides a gentle abrasive action and helps to lift stains and grime.A Large Mixing Bowl: To contain the bubbling mixture.Measuring Cups: For accurate measurement of ingredients.A Stirring Utensil: To mix the ingredients.Old Rags: For wiping down surfaces. These will get quite dirty, so use old ones.Scrubbing Tools: A crocheted scrubby or similar tool works well for applying the paste.
