An Ingenious Method to Clean Your Oven Overnight

By Lesia

Let’s get started:
Materials Needed:

  • An oven-safe bowl
  • A saucepan
  • White vinegar and dish soap
    Simple Steps:
  1. Preheat your oven to 80°C (175°F).
  2. Simultaneously, bring a saucepan of water to a boil.
  3. Once the oven is hot, turn it off.
  4. 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!
  1. 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!
