Sticky oven, stubborn odors, stains that seem to be there forever… We all know that moment when we open the oven door and expect a miracle. What if the solution is already in the kitchen, ready to use, without any extra effort? Three everyday ingredients can transform a household chore into an easy, even somewhat satisfying routine… but what are they?
Natural Oven Cleaning: Why We Love It
Who hasn’t put off a thorough oven cleaning due to lack of time or fear of using harsh products? A clean oven makes all the difference: it heats better, preserves flavors, and eliminates those stubborn odors that have no place in our recipes. The good news is that you don’t need to pull out your arsenal of chemicals to achieve spotless results. The gentlest solutions are often the most effective, and you probably already have some in your cupboard.
Baking soda , lemon and vinegar, often underestimated, have a little superpower in gently disinfecting spaces. They are not for “disinfecting”, but they refresh surfaces, remove grease and make cleaning much more pleasant. A real winning trio for those who want to combine efficiency, savings and a simple daily routine.
Tip 1: Baking soda and salt mixture for stubborn dirt
Open the oven and see stains from a raclette party? Don’t panic. A mixture of baking soda and salt works as an exfoliating treatment for your oven. Simply mix a little hot water with the two ingredients until you get a thick paste. Spread it with a soft sponge, leave it for about an hour, then rinse: the grease will almost completely come off.
The secret? A slightly granular texture that is perfect for removing residue without damaging surfaces. A method that is child’s play … and extremely effective.
Tip 2: Lemon, an ally of freshness that naturally scents
When your oven starts to smell bad, lemon will be your best friend. Its fresh scent and mild acidity will help loosen dirt while leaving a pleasantly clean feeling.
Pour a little water and lemon juice into an oven-safe dish, heat it for about thirty minutes, then wipe it with a damp cloth. The steam will do the work for you: loosening dirt and naturally scenting the interior. A truly pleasant touch for easy and sensory cleaning.
How to restore the interior light of a window?
The oven door glass is often the most dreaded part… but it’s actually not that difficult. Following the manufacturer’s instructions, it can usually be removed in just a few steps: open the door, undo the hinges, carefully remove the glass, clean it, dry it, and then put everything back in place. It’s a bit like putting together a very simple puzzle, but with incomparable satisfaction.
What is the appropriate cleaning frequency?
A quick clean after a hearty gratin or a particularly tasty dish will prevent splatters from setting in. Regular monthly cleaning (or twice a month if you cook often) is more than enough to keep your oven clean, pleasant and easy to use.
