Steps to Clean Your Oven Without Scrubbing
1. Remove Racks and Loose Debris
Take out the oven racks and soak them in warm, soapy water to loosen any grime.
Wipe the interior with a dry cloth to remove loose crumbs and debris.
2. Make a Baking Soda Paste

In a bowl, mix ½ cup of baking soda with a few tablespoons of water until it forms a spreadable paste.
For a pleasant scent, add a few drops of lemon juice or your favorite essential oil.
3. Apply the Paste
Spread the baking soda paste all over the interior of the oven, focusing on greasy and stained areas. Avoid applying it directly to the heating elements.
Let the paste sit for 8–12 hours, or overnight, to break down the grime.
4. Spray with Vinegar
After the baking soda paste has done its work, fill a spray bottle with white vinegar.
Spray the vinegar over the baking soda. It will fizz and bubble, loosening stubborn grease and grime.
