Applying the Baking Soda Paste:
Whether you have an electric or gas oven, applying a baking soda paste can effectively remove stubborn stains and grease. Follow these steps for optimal results:
Prior to applying the paste, make sure to avoid getting it on light and heating elements, thermostat, wiring, or any openings in the oven with foil.
Use a paintbrush to evenly spread the baking soda paste throughout the oven’s interior, excluding bare metal surfaces and the oven door.
For reaching tight corners and tackling tough spots, an old toothbrush can be quite handy.
For a deep and thorough clean, allow the paste to work its magic for 12 to 24 hours.
Removing the Baking Soda Paste:
After the designated time has passed, it’s time to remove the baking soda paste and reveal your sparkling clean oven:
Use a plastic scraper to gently remove the paste, wetting it as needed for easier removal.
Wipe down the oven’s interior with a damp cloth, repeating as necessary to eliminate streaks and residue.
Cleaning the Oven Door:
A clean oven door not only enhances aesthetics but also ensures a clear view of your cooking. Follow these steps for a spotless oven door:
Create a mixture by combining equal parts water and white vinegar.
Use a soft cloth to clean the oven door and glass, ensuring not to wet the gasket.
By following these steps, your oven will not only be clean but also free from harmful bacteria, making it a safer and more efficient cooking appliance.
