Cleaning an oven covered in grease and food residue can be challenging, but these foolproof methods make the task much easier. Let’s dive into 8 powerful cleaning tips to restore your oven’s shine.
1. Lemon for a Fresh Clean
Lemon is a natural cleaner with impressive degreasing properties. To use it, simply cut a lemon in half and rub both halves on the greasy oven walls. Once the dirt softens, wipe it away with warm water and white vinegar. Finish by drying the surface with a clean cloth for a fresh, citrus-scented oven.
2. Newspaper: A Surprising Solution
Instead of tossing your old newspapers, repurpose them to clean your oven! Take a sheet, roll it into a ball, and lightly dampen it with water. Scrub the oven walls with this simple tool, and you’ll see how easily the grime disappears, leaving your oven walls gleaming.
3. Baking Soda and Salt for Stubborn Grease
For areas that are heavily stained, a paste made from baking soda and coarse salt works wonders. Mix one tablespoon of each with warm water to form a paste. Apply it to the tough spots and let it sit for an hour. Afterward, scrub gently with a sponge, and you’ll see the grease lift away.
4. White Vinegar: The All-Purpose Cleaner
White vinegar is a must-have for deep cleaning. Mix a little white vinegar with a liter of water, pour it into a spray bottle, and spray the solution onto the greasy areas inside the oven. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, then wipe down with a damp sponge. Your oven will be spotless and sparkling.
