Oven cleaning is one of the most neglected household chores as it can be tricky to get rid of the burned food stains and grease stuck onto the glass door.
However, it is incredibly important to clean oven doors as the build-up grease will cause your kitchen to become smoky and a big fire risk.
Having to scrub away at an oven door can be time-consuming, but Katie Wells, a cleaning expert and founder of Wellness Mama, has shared that there is one natural product that can dissolve grease without scrubbing.
Katie said: “Though it seems like a simple fix, a quick baking soda paste applied to oven grime is really effective and makes the daunting task of oven cleaning a little easier.”
It may seem strange but baking soda is alkaline, which means it can easily break down acidic grease and food without any hassle so you can have a clean oven in no time.
Not only is baking soda one of the best cleaning methods to get rid of burned food stains but it is also a natural deodoriser, which means it will get rid of any burnt or greasy smells that can linger in your oven.
This is a safe and cheap solution to clean an oven door without having to use harsh chemicals or spend lots of money on commercial cleaning products.
How to clean an oven door naturally
To begin, spray the entire oven door with water and make sure it is completely damp before applying the baking soda.
Spread the baking soda so it mixes into the water and begins to form a paste. If there are any dry spots, use a spray bottle filled with water to mist the surface of the oven door.
Leave the baking soda paste on the oven door for a couple of hours, but preferably overnight to give the cleaning solution time to break down the greasy stains.
After the time is up, simply use a cloth or a tea towel to wipe the paste away, and the oven grime should completely come away.
Rinse the oven door again with clean water to get rid of the baking soda paste completely, and the oven glass should now be sparkling clean.
Katie said: “For really baked-on grime, this may take a couple of applications, but it always works and it is 100 percent natural.”
