How to Clean Your Entire Oven (Including the Window) with Minimal Effort 🧼✨
Say goodbye to scrubbing for hours! This easy, low-effort method will leave your oven (and its window) sparkling—without harsh chemicals or back-breaking labor.
What You’ll Need:
✔ Baking soda (1/2 to 1 cup)
✔ White vinegar (or lemon juice)
✔ Dish soap (a few drops)
✔ Spray bottle
✔ Microfiber cloths or sponges
✔ Plastic scraper (optional, for tough grime)
Step-by-Step Guide
1️⃣ The Baking Soda Paste (For Oven Interior & Door)
-
Mix baking soda + water (3:1 ratio) into a thick paste.
-
Spread it all over the oven interior, avoiding heating elements.
-
For the door window, apply the paste and let it sit.
-
Let it sit overnight (or at least 3-4 hours)—the grime will loosen!
2️⃣ Wipe Away the Grime
-
Dampen a cloth with vinegar (or spray vinegar on the paste)—it’ll fizz and break down grease.
-
Wipe clean with a microfiber cloth. For stubborn spots, use a plastic scraper gently.
-
Repeat if needed (but usually one round does it!).
3️⃣ For the Oven Racks
-
Place them in a bathtub or large sink with hot water + 1/2 cup baking soda + 1/4 cup vinegar.
-
Let soak 1-2 hours, then scrub with a sponge.
-
For extra shine, add a few drops of dish soap.
4️⃣ Final Touch: Glass Door Streak-Free
-
Mix vinegar + water (1:1) in a spray bottle.
-
Spray the oven window, then wipe with a dry microfiber cloth for a streak-free shine.
🔥 Pro Tips for Even Easier Cleaning
-
Prevent future buildup: Place a baking sheet under dishes to catch spills.
-
For tough grease: Add a few drops of dish soap to the baking soda paste.
-
Microwave trick: Use this same method for a dirty microwave (but only 10-15 mins of soaking).
