Let the Marseille soap mixture act on the dirty surfaces of the oven for at least 30-60 minutes. This will allow the soap to soften the burnt residue, making it easier to remove.
5. Clean with a spatula or scraper:
After the soap has taken effect, use an oven scraper or plastic spatula to scrape away the softened residue.
Be sure to work gently so as not to scratch the oven surfaces.
6. Rinse with clean water:
Use a cloth or sponge soaked in clean water to rinse the oven surfaces and remove any remaining soap residue and dirt.
You will need to apply several passes to clean thoroughly.
7. Dry and evaluate the result:
Dry the surfaces thoroughly with a dry cloth and evaluate the result. If necessary, repeat the cleaning process to remove any remaining residue.
8. Periodic cleaning:
To keep your oven clean, perform this cleaning with Marseille soap periodically, especially after cooking fatty dishes or when you notice burnt residue forming.
If you don’t have Marseille soap available
A great alternative to Marseille soap is baking soda. Mix a few tablespoons of baking soda with water until you get a spreadable paste. Apply this paste evenly to the inside surface of the oven, focusing on areas with burnt oil encrustations.
Let the baking soda paste sit for at least 30 minutes or more, so it can work on the buildup and soften it. After that time, use a damp sponge or cloth to gently remove the paste, along with the softened burnt oil. You may need to do a little bit of work to completely remove stubborn buildup.
Finally, rinse the oven thoroughly with clean water and dry it with a dry cloth.
In conclusion, Marseille soap is a natural and effective solution to remove burnt oil from the oven. By following this guide, you can keep your oven clean and in tip-top condition without the use of harsh chemicals.
