Provisions
- Combine ingredients
In a medium bowl or spray bottle, mix the dish soap, lemon juice, vinegar, and water until well combined. If using a bowl, transfer the mixture to a spray bottle for ease of application. - Prepare the oven
Turn off and unplug the oven, if possible. Remove the racks, trays, and removable parts for separate cleaning (you can soak them in warm, soapy water). - Apply the
spray cleaner or generously pour the homemade cleaner onto the interior surfaces of the oven, focusing on greasy or burnt areas. Let the solution sit for 10 to 15 minutes to allow it to break down dirt and grime. - Gently scrub
After letting the cleaner work its magic, use a sponge or non-abrasive cloth to gently scrub the oven surfaces. For tricky spots, sprinkle a little baking soda over the area before scrubbing – it acts as a mild abrasive to remove stubborn stains. - Rinse thoroughly
Clean the vacuum cleaner and loose debris with a damp cloth or sponge. Repeat if necessary for particularly dirty areas. - Dry and enjoy
Once clean, dry the oven with a clean towel and admire your sparkling results! Reinsert the racks and baking trays, then turn the oven back on to ensure no residue remains after heating.
Tips for using this natural oven cleaner
- Test on a small area first: Before applying cleaner to the entire oven, test it on a small patch to ensure compatibility with the surface of your oven.
- Avoid stainless steel surfaces: Vinegar can dull stainless steel finishes, so avoid spraying directly on these areas.
- Add baking soda for extra potency: Create a paste by mixing baking soda with water and apply it to heavily soiled spots before spraying the cleaner for added effectiveness.
Let it sit longer for tougher jobs: For extra greasy or burnt messes, let the vacuum sit for up to 30 minutes before cleaning.
