"Baking Soda Paste: Mix baking soda with water to create a thick paste. Spread the paste over the interior surfaces of your oven, focusing on areas with grease and grime buildup. Let the paste sit overnight to loosen the dirt.
2. Scrubbing: The next day, use a damp sponge or cloth to scrub the baking soda paste, working in circular motions. You may need to use a scraper or old toothbrush for stubborn spots.
3. Vinegar Spray: Spray white vinegar onto the surfaces where you applied the baking soda paste. The vinegar will react with the baking soda, creating a foaming action that helps lift away dirt and grime.
4. Wipe Down: Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe away the baking soda and vinegar residue. Repeat this process until all the residue is removed.
5. Rinse and Dry: Once the oven is clean, rinse it thoroughly with clean water to remove any remaining residue. Dry the interior with a clean towel or cloth."
