Title: Want a Clean and Fragrant Oven? Use These Two Ingredients After Each Use!
A clean, fresh-smelling oven is a true kitchen asset, but keeping it that way can seem like a never-ending battle. Grease, food spills, and lingering odors can quickly build up, leaving your oven less than desirable. The good news? You don’t need harsh chemicals or hours of scrubbing to maintain a spotless oven. In fact, you can achieve a clean and fragrant oven with just two simple ingredients—and they’re probably already sitting in your kitchen.
Let’s dive into how you can use these two magical ingredients to maintain a sparkling clean oven after every cooking session!
🧴 The Power of Vinegar and Baking Soda
Vinegar and baking soda are two of the most versatile cleaning agents you can find in your home. Individually, they’re great for tackling grime, but together, they work even better.
- Baking soda is a natural abrasive that helps lift stuck-on food, grease, and grime without scratching the surface.
- Vinegar is a natural deodorizer and degreaser, which helps cut through grease and neutralize unwanted odors, leaving your oven smelling fresh.
✨ How to Use Baking Soda and Vinegar for a Fresh, Clean Oven After Every Use
Here’s the simple two-ingredient routine you can follow after each cooking session to keep your oven spotless and fragrant:
What you’ll need:
- Baking soda
- White vinegar (or apple cider vinegar if preferred)
- Water
- Spray bottle
- Cloth or sponge
🧼 Step-by-Step Guide:
- Let the Oven Cool: After cooking, allow the oven to cool completely. Cleaning while it’s still warm could burn you, and you want the surface to be safe for cleaning.
- Sprinkle Baking Soda: Once the oven is cool, take a generous amount of baking soda and sprinkle it across the oven floor, oven racks, and any areas that are soiled. Focus on areas where grease or food spills are visible.
- Spray Vinegar: Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar and lightly spray over the baking soda. You’ll see it start to bubble—this reaction helps lift grease and grime. Don’t over-saturate; a light misting will suffice.
- Let It Sit: Allow the baking soda and vinegar mixture to sit for about 10–15 minutes. This gives it time to break down grease and odors.
- Wipe Clean: Using a damp cloth or sponge, gently scrub the surfaces. The baking soda will have loosened up any grease or residue, making it much easier to wipe away. For tougher areas, use a bit more elbow grease.
- Rinse and Dry: Once all surfaces are clean, rinse the cloth with clean water and wipe down the oven to remove any baking soda residue. Dry with a clean towel for a shiny finish.
