How to Deep Clean Your Oven
For stubborn stains and baked-on residue, a deep clean is necessary. This takes 7 simple steps but with them, you can effectively deep clean your oven, ensuring it remains free from stubborn stains and baked-on residue:
1. Remove Loose Debris: Begin by wiping away any loose debris from the interior surfaces of your oven using a damp cloth or sponge.
2. Prepare Baking Soda Paste: In a small bowl, mix baking soda with water to create a paste-like consistency.
3. Apply the Paste: Spread the baking soda paste evenly over the interior surfaces of the oven, focusing on areas with stubborn stains and baked-on residue.
4. Let it Sit: Allow the baking soda paste to sit for several hours or overnight to penetrate and loosen grease and grime.
5. Wipe Away Residue: After the designated time, use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe away the baking soda mixture, along with the loosened residue.
6. Use a Plastic Scraper: For particularly stubborn stains, gently scrape away residue using a plastic scraper, being careful not to damage the oven’s surface.
7. Rinse and Dry: Thoroughly rinse the interior of the oven with clean water to remove any remaining baking soda residue. Dry the oven surfaces completely before reinserting the oven racks.
