How to Clean Your Oven with Baking Soda and Vinegar

You can clean a greasy oven without harsh fumes using two pantry staples and a bit of patience.

What you’ll need

  • baking soda
  • white vinegar
  • water
  • spray bottle
  • plastic scraper
  • gloves
  • cloths

Step by step

  1. Take out the racks and soak them in hot soapy water.
  2. Spread a paste of baking soda and water over the inside, avoiding the elements.
  3. Leave it overnight, then scrape and wipe off the paste.
  4. Spray vinegar on any residue, wipe clean and refit the racks.

When to call a pro

for a deep clean before an end-of-lease inspection, a professional cleaner can do the oven, rangehood and cooktop in one visit.
