Title: « The Complete Guide to Effective Oven Cleaning with Baking Soda and Vinegar »

Baking Soda: A mild abrasive that breaks down grease and lifts tough stains.
Vinegar: A natural degreaser and disinfectant that reacts with baking soda to loosen dirt and grime.
Safe and Non-Toxic: Unlike chemical cleaners, this method is safe for you, your family, and the environment.
What You’ll Need:
Baking soda (½ cup)
White vinegar (¼ cup)
Water
A spray bottle
A scrubbing sponge or cloth
A small bowl
Rubber gloves (optional, for sensitive skin)
A spatula or scraper (plastic, to avoid scratches)
Step-by-Step Cleaning Process
1. Prepare Your Oven
Remove all oven racks, trays, and thermometers.
Soak the racks in warm, soapy water (you can clean these separately using the same baking soda and vinegar method).
2. Make the Baking Soda Paste
In a small bowl, mix ½ cup of baking soda with 3-4 tablespoons of water to form a spreadable paste.
Adjust the water amount until the mixture has a toothpaste-like consistency.
3. Apply the Paste
Using a sponge, cloth, or your hands (with gloves), spread the baking soda paste over the oven’s interior.
Focus on areas with heavy buildup but avoid the heating elements.
Let the paste sit for 8-12 hours or overnight for tough stains.
4. Spray with Vinegar
Pour ¼ cup of white vinegar into a spray bottle.
After the baking soda paste has set, spray vinegar over the treated areas.
The vinegar will react with the baking soda, creating a fizzy effect that helps break down grease and grime.
5. Wipe and Scrub
Use a damp sponge or cloth to wipe away the loosened dirt and paste.
For stubborn spots, scrub gently with a sponge or plastic scraper.
Repeat the vinegar spray and wiping process as needed.
6. Clean the Oven Racks
While the oven interior is soaking, scrub the oven racks with baking soda and vinegar in the sink.
Rinse thoroughly and dry before placing them back in the oven.
