Cleaning burnt-in oven: How to do it.

Step by step clean the burnt oven
- Kitchen sponge
- brush
- microfiber cloth
- Mixing bowl
- Bucket
1. mix the cleaner
For the cleaner made of baking soda, only the baking soda should be mixed with water at first. For simple dirt, the baking soda alone is also sufficient to loosen the dirt. However, really baked-on grease dirt still needs a little vinegar in the baking soda mixture.
2. apply baking soda mixture
You can even apply this mixture on top of the oven over the heating elements. Only directly on the heating elements you should not put the self-mixed cleaner. Therefore, the best way to spread the mixture evenly on the dirt is with a brush. However, some housewives swear by the yellow household sponges and like to dab the baking powder with them.
3. fill the baking tray
Now fill the baking sheet to the brim with water and leave it in the oven on about the middle rack while you heat the baking soda. The water vapor should be kept in the oven, so keep the door closed during the soaking time.
4. temperature and duration
The cleaning mixture must be left to soak in the oven at a low temperature for up to one hour. The temperature should not exceed 120 degrees and should not fall below 90 degrees. You can also put already warm water on the baking tray to shorten the heating time a little.
5. cleaning
Once the temperature inside has dropped enough for you to touch it, you should clean the greasy dirt with a microfiber cloth and plenty of water.
