#### Step 4: Let It Sit Overnight
Once the paste is applied, leave the oven door **slightly ajar** to allow some air circulation. Now comes the waiting game! Let the baking soda paste sit for at least **12 hours**—preferably overnight. During this time, the baking soda will begin to break down the grease and grime, lifting it away from the oven walls.
#### Step 5: Spray with Vinegar
After the paste has had time to work its magic overnight, it’s time to give it a little boost with **vinegar**. Fill a **spray bottle** with the **white vinegar**, and spray it generously over the baking soda paste. When vinegar comes in contact with baking soda, it will fizz and bubble, which helps lift and loosen even more grime.
Let the vinegar sit for 5 to 10 minutes. The bubbling action is doing all the work for you, breaking down the gunk without you needing to scrub at all.
#### Step 6: Wipe It All Away
Now comes the easy part—wiping everything down. Use a **damp cloth** or **sponge** to wipe away the baking soda and vinegar mixture. You’ll be amazed at how easily the grime lifts off! If there are any stubborn spots left, you can repeat the process with a little more baking soda paste and vinegar.
If necessary, use a small brush or sponge to get into tight corners, but with this method, most of the work is done for you, so you won’t need to spend hours scrubbing.
#### Step 7: Optional Step—Clean the Racks
If you removed the oven racks, you can clean them separately by soaking them in a mixture of hot water and a few tablespoons of baking soda. Let them soak for a few hours, then scrub them with a sponge to remove any grease and grime.
### The Results: A Sparkling Oven by Morning!
By the time you wake up, your oven will be **clean, fresh, and ready to use** without all the harsh chemicals and hard work. The baking soda will have lifted away the grease, food spills, and stains, while the vinegar will help dissolve any remaining residue. This trick saves you time and effort, and the best part is that the process is natural and safe.
### Why You Should Try This Trick:
1. **Effortless**: There’s no need for scrubbing or hard labor. The cleaning agents do all the work for you while you sleep!
2. **Non-Toxic**: Unlike store-bought oven cleaners, which can contain toxic chemicals, this method uses simple, safe ingredients that won’t harm your health or your oven.
3. **Time-Saving**: You don’t have to spend hours cleaning your oven. Letting the mixture sit overnight means you can do other things while your oven cleans itself.
4. **Eco-Friendly**: This trick is not only safe for you but also for the environment. It uses natural, biodegradable ingredients, unlike harsh chemical cleaners that can pollute the environment.
5. **Cost-Effective**: Forget about expensive oven-cleaning products. The ingredients you need (baking soda, vinegar, and water) are super affordable and are probably already in your pantry.
### Additional Tips:
– **For Stubborn Grease**: If you have tough, stuck-on grease, you can add a little bit of **lemon juice** to the vinegar in the spray bottle. The acidity of lemon helps break down grease even more effectively.
– **Use Plastic Wrap**: If you want to prevent the paste from drying out or becoming too hard, cover the oven with a **plastic wrap** after applying the baking soda paste. This helps keep the paste moist overnight and makes it easier to wipe away in the morning.
– **Routine Cleaning**: Regularly cleaning your oven every 1-2 months using this method will prevent buildup from becoming too tough to remove.
### Conclusion
Cleaning your oven doesn’t have to be a dreaded chore. With this clever trick, you can clean your oven **while you sleep**, saving time and effort, all while using natural and safe ingredients. Just apply a simple baking soda paste, let it sit overnight, and wake up to a sparkling clean oven without any of the hassle.
Give this method a try, and enjoy a clean, fresh oven with minimal effort—so you can spend more time enjoying your cooking and less time scrubbing away at stubborn grease!
