1. Make a cleaning paste
Mix the baking soda with a small amount of water until you get a thick, spreadable paste.
2. Apply inside the oven
Spread the paste over the interior surfaces of your oven (avoid heating elements). Focus on greasy or burnt areas.
3. Let it sit overnight
Leave the paste for at least 8–12 hours. This allows it to break down stubborn grime.
4. Wipe it off
Use a damp cloth or sponge to remove as much of the dried paste as possible.
5. Spray with vinegar
Spray white vinegar over any remaining residue. It will react with the baking soda and foam up—this helps lift off the last bits of dirt.
6. Final wipe
Wipe everything clean with a damp cloth. Your oven should now look fresh and grease-free.
✨ Bonus Tip for Faster Cleaning
If your oven isn’t extremely dirty, you can:
Let the paste sit for just 1–2 hours instead of overnight
Use warm water to speed up the cleaning process
