⏳ The Power of a Good Scrub: Baking Soda Paste
This is the step where you put in minimal elbow grease for maximum effect.
Apply the Paste: In a small bowl, mix ½ cup of baking soda with a few tablespoons of water to create a thick, spreadable paste (like frosting) . Spread this paste over the oven’s interior surfaces and the glass door, but be careful to avoid the heating elements .
The Wait Is the Work: This is where the “effortless” part comes in. Leave the paste to sit for several hours, or ideally overnight . The longer it sits, the more time it has to break down the grease and grime.
Wipe It Away: Once the paste has sat for a while, use a damp microfiber cloth or sponge to wipe it away. For stubborn spots that are still clinging on, use a plastic scraper or an old gift card to gently scrape them off .
The Final Rinse: To finish, lightly spray the interior with white vinegar and wipe it down one last time with a clean, damp cloth to remove any final residue . Once it’s dry, put your clean racks back in, and you’re done!
