Here’s nana’s no-fuss oven-cleaning trick—simple, cheap, and effective. No harsh chemicals needed.
Nana’s 3-Ingredient Oven Cleaner
You’ll need:
- Baking soda
- White vinegar
- Warm water
How It Works (Easy Steps)
- Make a paste
Mix ½ cup baking soda with a few tablespoons of warm water until thick and spreadable. - Spread it on
Coat the greasy areas inside the oven (avoid heating elements). - Let it sit
Leave it for 8–12 hours (overnight is best). This does most of the work for you. - Wipe it out
Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe away the dried paste and loosened grime. - Spray vinegar
Lightly spray white vinegar on any remaining spots. It will fizz and lift residue. - Final wipe
Wipe clean with warm water. Done.
Why nana swears by it
- 🧼 No scrubbing marathon
- 🌿 No harsh fumes
- 💰 Costs almost nothing
- ✨ Works even on baked-on grease
Tip: For really tough spots, repeat on just that area and let it sit another hour.
