1. Start by sprinkling a cup of baking soda on the bottom of the oven to clean it. Then fill a spray bottle with two cups of white vinegar to create a non-toxic cleaning solution.

Baking soda and vinegar
Place the white vinegar in an ovenproof bowl and place on the lowest rack of the oven. Preheat the oven to a low level or around 200 degrees and let the water boil for around an hour. If you have a self-cleaning mode, you can use this setting as an alternative. The vinegar will evaporate and absorb any bad smells from the oven.
