If you don’t want to scrub a dirty oven, many people use a steam-cleaning trick that loosens grease and burnt food so it wipes away easily. 🧽🔥
Easy No-Scrub Oven Cleaning Method
Ingredients
- 1 cup White vinegar
- 1 cup Water
- 2–3 tbsp Baking soda
- A heat-safe baking dish
Steps
- Preheat the oven to about 120–150°C (250–300°F).
- Mix water and vinegar in a heat-safe dish.
- Place the dish inside the oven and let it heat for 20–30 minutes.
- The steam loosens grease and baked-on food.
- Turn off the oven and let it cool slightly.
- Sprinkle baking soda on stubborn spots and wipe with a damp cloth.
Why This Works
- Steam softens burnt residue.
- Vinegar breaks down grease.
- Baking soda lifts stains and odors.
Extra Tip
For very dirty ovens, make a paste of baking soda + water, spread it inside the oven, leave overnight, then wipe and spray with vinegar to foam away grime.
