STEPS TO CLEANING YOUR OVEN
- ๐๐บ๐ฝ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ป
- ๐ ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ ๐ฎ ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ผ๐ฑ๐ฎ ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ: In a small bowl, mix a 1/2 cup of baking soda with a few tablespoons of water, and 5 drops of Orange essential oil. Adjust the ratio of both as needed until you have a spreadable paste. For me this took about 3 tablespoons of water to get the desired spreadable consistency.
- ๐๐ผ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ป: Spread the paste all over the interior surfaces of your oven, steering clear of the heating elements.
- ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ถ๐ ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ป๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐: Allow the baking soda mixture to rest for at least 12 hours, or overnight. Enjoy those zzzzzzzzz ๐ด
- ๐๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ป ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ธ๐: Meanwhile, clean your oven racks.
- ๐ช๐ถ๐ฝ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ป: After 12 hours or overnight, take a damp dish cloth and wipe out as much of the dried baking soda paste as you can. Use a plastic or silicone spatula to help scrape off the paste as needed. I found that the damp cloth was enough for me, but a spatula might come in handy in those hard-to-reach places.
- ๐ฆ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ ๐น๐ถ๐๐๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐ด๐ฎ๐ฟ: Put a little vinegar in a spray bottle and spritz everywhere you still see baking soda residue in your oven. The vinegar will react with the baking soda and gently foam.
- ๐๐ผ ๐ฎ ๐ณ๐ถ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ถ๐ฝ๐ฒ-๐ฑ๐ผ๐๐ป: Take your damp cloth and wipe out the remaining foamy vinegar-baking soda mixture. Repeat until all the baking soda residue is gone. Add more water or vinegar as needed while wiping to really get the oven clean and shiny.
