If it looks like someone smeared lasagna all over your oven a year ago, here's the easy solution. Cleaning an oven and its windows can seem like an insurmountable task, especially when dealing with burnt-on food residue that has turned the oven's interior a reddish-brown color.
However, there's a simple trick to tackle the mess without using harmful chemicals. Here's how:
What you'll need for oven cleaning
Water
A spray bottle
Baking soda
Cloth
Vinegar
Small bowl
Cleaning the oven
Remove the racks and baking sheets.
Mix a few tablespoons of baking soda with water in a bowl to create a thick paste.
Apply the paste to the areas in the oven that need cleaning. The baking soda will turn brown.
Let it sit for at least 12 hours.
Wipe it off with a wet cloth the next day.
Fill a spray bottle with vinegar and spray it on areas where baking soda residue remains.
Wipe it off with a wet cloth.
Turn on the oven at low heat for 15-20 minutes to dry it out.
Cleaning the window
Make another mixture of water and baking soda in a bowl to form a thick paste.
Apply the paste to the window and let it sit for 30 minutes.
Use a wet cloth to wipe off the dirt and baking soda residue.
Now you have a sparkling clean oven that you can actually see into, and it won't smell like burnt meat sauce or look like a prop from a horror movie. Enjoy!
