A dirty oven can be a real eyesore and can even affect the taste of your food. If you’re tired of a greasy, grimy oven, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and give it a thorough degreasing. With the right approach and a little effort, you can restore your oven to its former glory. In this article, we’ll explore eight effective tips to help you degrease very dirty ovens and make them look like new.
1. Safety First:
Before you begin cleaning your oven, ensure that it is switched off and completely cool to avoid burns. Additionally, open windows or turn on the ventilation to prevent inhaling any fumes from the cleaning agents you may use.
2. Remove Loose Debris:
Start by removing any loose debris, such as burnt food particles or large crumbs, from the oven. Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe away the loose dirt. If necessary, you can use a soft brush or toothbrush to reach into crevices and corners.
3. Make a Natural Degreaser:
Create a homemade degreaser by mixing equal parts water and vinegar in a spray bottle. Alternatively, you can use a mixture of baking soda and water to form a paste. These natural solutions are effective and safe to use.
4. Apply the Degreaser:
Spray the vinegar and water mixture or spread the baking soda paste over the interior surfaces of the oven. Pay special attention to heavily greased areas like the oven door, walls, racks, and bottom. Allow the degreaser to sit for at least 30 minutes to work its magic.
