Homemade Oven Cleaner

Ingredients:

Baking Soda
(Yep that's it!)

Directions:
After using the oven, let it cool. Then sprinkle a thick layer of baking soda on all the grease spots. Then with a spray bottle of clean water, mist the baking soda until it forms a paste. Close the oven doors and let it set for a few hours. Check on it from time to time, and spray a little water on it if the paste has become dry. Scrub a little here and there to get up the grime. Then after a few hours wipe it all away with a clean, wet, dish cloth or sponge.
For better and faster results, spray it with distilled white vinegar instead of water.

Be sure to leave the oven open to dry after you're finished.

Baking Soda is super absorbent. Plus it's a little coarse which makes it perfect for tough messes. And you don't have to stop at the oven with this recipe either. Use it all over your kitchen, and your bathroom too!

    1. Same thing, Baking Soda! Use a baking soda paste and put it on the walls, then use a tooth brush to scrub it out. You can also try making a paste with Arm & Hammer washing soda. That will help get the grime off really well too.
