I Will NEVER Carry a Dirty, Greasy Oven Again: A Friend Showed Me This Trick and Now It’s Like New — Effortlessly!
Cleaning the oven is one of those dreaded kitchen chores that most of us avoid until it’s absolutely necessary. The baked-on grease, the burnt food crumbs, and the greasy smell — it’s enough to make anyone want to just close the door and pretend it doesn’t exist.
But recently, a friend shared a simple, natural trick with me that completely changed how I clean my oven — and honestly, I’ll never go back. No harsh chemicals, no back-breaking scrubbing, and no choking on oven cleaner fumes. Just a few basic ingredients, and my oven looked like new in no time.
Here’s exactly how to do it.
π The Magic Combo: Baking Soda + Vinegar + Lemon
This trick uses three powerful, natural ingredients most people already have in their kitchen:
-
Baking Soda – gentle abrasive that loosens grime
-
White Vinegar – cuts through grease and deodorizes
-
Lemon Juice – boosts cleaning power and leaves a fresh scent
π§Ό What You’ll Need:
-
½ cup baking soda
-
2–3 tablespoons water (enough to make a paste)
-
1 cup white vinegar
-
Juice of ½ a lemon (optional but highly recommended)
-
Spray bottle
-
Damp cloth or sponge
-
Rubber gloves (optional but helpful)
π Step-by-Step: Effortless Oven Cleaning
✅ 1. Make the Baking Soda Paste
Mix the baking soda with just enough water to form a thick but spreadable paste.
✅ 2. Apply the Paste
Spread the paste all over the interior of your (cool) oven — door, walls, floor, and even the glass. Avoid the heating elements. Use gloves if you prefer.
Let it sit for at least 6 hours, or overnight for tougher buildup.
✅ 3. Wipe Off the Paste
Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe away the baking soda. You’ll notice the grime comes off much more easily than expected.
✅ 4. Spray With Vinegar
Put the white vinegar and lemon juice into a spray bottle and spritz it over any remaining residue. The vinegar will foam when it hits leftover baking soda — that’s the magic happening!
✅ 5. Final Wipe-Down
After the fizzing stops, wipe down all surfaces with a clean, damp cloth. Repeat if needed. The lemon helps neutralize odors and leaves a bright, clean scent behind.
✨ The Results?
Grease? Gone. Burnt bits? Loosened and wiped away. Funky smell? Replaced with fresh lemony goodness.
And the best part? No toxic fumes, no chemical burns, and no scrubbing for hours.
π Bonus Tip: For Oven Racks
Take the racks out and soak them in your bathtub or a large sink with hot water, a few drops of dish soap, and a sprinkle of baking soda. Let them sit for 1–2 hours, then scrub with a brush or sponge.
Why This Works
-
Baking soda gently scrubs without scratching.
-
Vinegar breaks down grease and sanitizes.
-
Lemon juice adds a natural degreasing boost and fights odors.
Together, they form a powerful, chemical-free trio that leaves your oven sparkling clean with minimal effort.
Final Thoughts
If you’ve been putting off cleaning your oven because it seems like too much work (or you can’t stand the smell of chemical cleaners), this is the trick you’ve been waiting for. I truly will never carry around the guilt or grime of a dirty oven again — not with this effortless method in my back pocket.
Try it once, and you might actually look forward to the next clean. Well… almost.
