Cleaning the oven doesn't have to be cumbersome if you use effective methods. You don't need to go to the store for special chemical agents that are not only expensive but often harmful to your health. Learn home tricks that are just as effective.

How to clean the oven?

One of the most popular ways to clean the oven is to create a paste from baking soda and water. Simply add a few drops of water to 3.5 oz of baking soda to create a thick paste. Apply it to the walls of the appliance and leave it for an hour. Then, remove the paste with a cloth and thoroughly clean the oven with a sponge soaked in vinegar.

Another solution is lemon juice. Lemon effectively handles unpleasant odors and adds shine to cleaned surfaces. Soak a paper towel with lemon juice and wipe the oven with it, then clean with a clean, wet cloth.

Ways to clean the oven

If you're looking for eco-friendly methods, steam might be the answer. Simply pour water mixed with vinegar or lemon into a heatproof dish, place it in the oven, and heat it to 125°F. After several minutes, the inside of the appliance will become cleaner, and the dirt will easily come off after wiping with a regular, damp cloth.

By using steam, you avoid chemical agents and save time, which is an added bonus for those who value natural solutions.

An innovative approach is to use a dishwasher tablet, which, when combined with hot water, can work wonders. The trick is to dissolve the tablet in water and use the solution as a cleaning agent. Simply spread it over the surface of the oven, leave it for a while, and then wipe it off.
