How to clean your oven with baking soda
Now that you understand the science behind the effectiveness of baking soda, let’s explore how to use it to clean your oven efficiently. Start by creating a paste using baking soda and water. A common guideline is to mix three parts baking soda with one part warm water, or you can use ½ cup of baking soda combined with 3 tablespoons of water.
Next, take out the oven racks. If they are made of stainless steel, you can scrub them with a sponge or soak them in soapy water for a few hours. (Be cautious with aluminum racks, as they may oxidize when exposed to baking soda.) Then, using a sturdy sponge, a spatula, or even a paintbrush, apply the paste to the interior of the oven, covering all metal and glass surfaces. Avoid contact with lights, heating elements, wires, and openings. Allow the paste to sit overnight or for 12 to 24 hours. It will harden, making it easy to remove the baking soda with a spatula, scraper, or damp paper towels the next day. You should be left with a spotless surface!
To eliminate any remaining streaks or patches of dried paste, use a damp cloth. For a final shine, mix equal parts water and white vinegar in a spray bottle, then apply it to the surfaces, especially the glass, and wipe with a cloth until it gleams. And there you have it! You’ve achieved a clean oven without spending a fortune, exerting too much effort, or inhaling harmful fumes.
