Bowl and Baking Soda
Add a few drops of lemon juice, known for its degreasing effect, and mix well. Then dip a biscuit in the mixture and scrub all parts of the oven, paying special attention to the dirtiest and most crusted areas. Finally, rinse frequently with warm water.
To complete the oven cleaning, you can spray the still wet parts with water and baking soda with vinegar, creating a strong degreasing chemical reaction.
You can use a bottle with a spray device to facilitate the application of vinegar. Let the mixture act for at least an hour. Then thoroughly rinse the oven walls with a sponge and warm water, gradually removing all vinegar and baking soda particles.
Finally, dry everything with a clean cloth, ensuring no odors or dirt residues remain.
Then clean the grates and oven door, paying special attention to the joints. Sprinkle the grates on a work surface with baking soda powder and then spray the vinegar until it foams white.
For a more thorough cleaning, you can leave the grates immersed in boiling water for a whole day. Finally, rinse the grates well with hot water.
Vinegar and Baking Soda
Next, place the clean grates back in the oven and reassemble the door. Ensure there’s no vinegar smell remaining. If there are still odors, turn on the oven and place a pot with a liter of hot water and the juice of two lemons on the bottom rack. Let the mixture evaporate after turning off the oven to completely remove all odors.
A final remedy we recommend is lemon and baking soda, two very special ingredients that together have a surprising effect on the crusts of the oven.
Practical Advice
To naturally clean the oven, it’s advisable to do so at least once a week if it’s frequently used. It’s important to remove residues before they become limescale to ease cleaning. During cleaning, it’s recommended to make movements from inside out and clean the crevices.
If the scale is stubborn, you may need to repeat the steps more than once. You can use a dish brush with soft bristles to remove residues, but it’s important to wear thick gloves to protect your hands.
