Steps:
- Make a Paste: Combine ½ cup baking soda with a few tablespoons of water until it forms a spreadable paste.
- Apply the Paste: Spread the paste over the interior of your (cool) oven, avoiding heating elements. Let it sit overnight (or at least 6 hours).
- Wipe Clean: Use a damp cloth to remove the paste. For stubborn areas, use a plastic spatula.
- Spray Vinegar: Fill a spray bottle with vinegar and spritz inside the oven. It will react with the baking soda residue, making it easy to wipe away.
- Deodorize: After cleaning, place a small oven-safe bowl filled with lemon juice in the oven and warm it at low heat for 15 minutes to neutralize any lingering odors.
Final Tips
- Always test a small area first, especially on delicate or porous surfaces.
- Never mix vinegar and baking soda in a closed container—they react and create gas that can build pressure.
- Combine all three ingredients carefully and strategically for specific tasks rather than mixing them all at once.
