Eco‑friendly oven cleaning: Tips and tricks for a spotless finish
Cleaning the oven is an important task that many people overlook. If your oven hasn't been cleaned in a while, be sure to take care of it. You just need to learn some simple, homemade tricks to help you.
Cleaning the oven doesn't have to be cumbersome if you use effective methods. You don't need to go to the store for specialised chemical agents, which are not only expensive but often harmful to health. Discover household tricks that are just as good.
How to clean the oven?
One of the most popular ways to clean the oven is to create a paste from baking soda and water. Simply add a few drops of water to 100 grams of baking soda to create a thick paste. Rub it on the walls of the appliance and leave it for an hour. Then remove the paste with a cloth, and clean the oven thoroughly with a sponge soaked in vinegar.
Another solution is lemon juice. Lemon effectively handles unpleasant odours and adds shine to the cleaned surfaces. Soak a paper towel with lemon juice and wipe the oven with it, then clean with a clean, wet cloth.
Ways to clean the oven
If you're looking for eco-friendly methods, steam might be the answer. Simply pour water with the addition of vinegar or lemon into a heatproof dish, place it in the oven, and heat it to 50°C. After several minutes, the inside of the appliance will become cleaner, and the dirt will easily come off after wiping with a regular, damp cloth.
By using steam, you avoid using chemical agents and save time, which is an added bonus for people who value natural solutions.
An innovative approach is to use a dishwasher tablet, which, combined with hot water, can work wonders. The trick is to dissolve the tablet in water and use the solution as a cleaning agent. Simply spread it over the surface of the oven, leave it for a while, and then wipe it off.
