With these natural methods, you will be able to keep your oven clean and shiny easily and effortlessly.
1. With baking soda and vinegar
Baking soda and vinegar are two star ingredients for cleaning the home. When combined, they create an effervescent reaction that helps break down grease and dirt embedded in the oven.
Procedure:
- Mix half a cup of baking soda with a few tablespoons of water until it forms a paste.
- Apply the paste to the walls and bottom of the oven, avoiding resistances.
- Leave it on overnight or for at least 12 hours.
- The next day, drizzle white vinegar over the dry pasta. You’ll notice that it starts to bubble.
- Clean it with a damp cloth or sponge, removing any remaining dirt.
Advice: If the oven is very dirty, you can repeat the procedure or add a little lemon juice to the vinegar to enhance its degreasing effect.
2. With lemon
Lemon is a powerful natural degreaser that also leaves a fresh and pleasant aroma.
Procedure:
- Cut two lemons in half and squeeze them into an oven-safe bowl.
- Place the squeezed lemons in the bowl as well.
- Take the container to the oven and turn it on at 120°C for 30 minutes.
- Turn off the oven and let it cool slightly before wiping down the walls with a damp sponge or cloth.
Advice: The steam in the lemon will help loosen the embedded dirt, making it easier to remove.
3. With coarse salt and baking soda
Coarse salt is a natural abrasive that can help remove stubborn stains without damaging surfaces.
Procedure:
- Mix one cup of coarse salt, one cup of baking soda, and one cup of water.
- Apply the mixture to the dirty areas of the oven.
- Leave it on for an hour.
- Wipe it with a damp cloth or sponge.
Advice: This mixture also works great for cleaning oven racks.
Additional Tips to Keep Your Oven Clean
- Clean it after each use: If you prevent dirt from accumulating, cleaning will be much easier.
- Use aluminum foil or protective trays: I covered the base of the oven to prevent spills and make cleanup easier.
- Ventilate the oven well: Leave it open after cleaning to dry thoroughly and remove odors.
- Do not use abrasive products: Avoid metal scouring pads or harsh chemicals that can damage the oven lining.
