An Ingenious Method to Clean Your Oven Overnight
Let’s get started:
Materials Needed:
- An oven-safe bowl
- A saucepan
- White vinegar and dish soap
Simple Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 80°C (175°F).
- Simultaneously, bring a saucepan of water to a boil.
- Once the oven is hot, turn it off.
- On the top rack of the oven, place the oven-safe bowl filled with white vinegar. Place the saucepan of water on a lower rack. Close the oven door.
- Tip: Boiling water with vinegar and using it directly works too!
- Let it work its magic overnight. The next steps are for the next day:
- Open your oven, letting the vinegar vapor dissipate. If it’s too strong, open a window.
- Take out the saucepan and the bowl of vinegar. Mix a little dish soap with the vinegar. Use this mixture to scrub the inside of your oven. Rinse and wipe clean.
- If you want a slightly bubblier experience, sprinkle some baking soda over the oven surfaces before scrubbing with the vinegar-soaked sponge. Remember, use them quickly together for the best scrubbing power.
Why Does This Work? - The cleaning power of vinegar combined with the heat of the oven results in a steam that can soften and dissolve the most stubborn oven grime.
Your oven does a lot for you, so give it some TLC with this gentle, eco-friendly cleaning method!
