For good reason, professional bakers and cooks never use oven spray or a chemical oven cleaner. This is because the chemical smell settles on the taste of the food that is subsequently cooked in the oven. Therefore, professionals prefer to use the home remedy baking soda for cleaning. The effect is similar. Here we show you how to clean the oven with baking soda.
Cleaning the oven with baking soda: how does it work?
For cleaning an oven, baking soda is an excellent home remedy. To do this, prepare a paste of baking soda, salt and water. Apply it to the dirty area and wipe it off after it has been left on for 20 to 30 minutes.
Allergy sufferers and oven cleaning
If there is an allergy sufferer in your family, you should avoid chemical cleaners as much as possible anyway. Whether neurodermatitis or asthma, especially children who suffer from a chronic disease show fewer symptoms when parents banish the chemical clubs from the household.
Sodium bicarbonate is one of the household remedies that not only protects sick or allergic people, but also helps to protect the environment. If baking soda then replaces an oven cleaner in an aerosol can, this additionally protects the environment.
Cleaning the oven with baking soda step by step
- Sponge
- Stirring bowl
- Brush
- Microfiber cloth
1. mix baking soda
Mix two tablespoons of baking soda and one tablespoon of salt with about two tablespoons of water to make a thick paste. The paste should be slightly thinner than your toothpaste.
2. coat the oven
You can press the paste onto the soils with a sponge or brush the baked-on dirt with an old baking brush. In places where no soiling is visible, you should not apply paste. Also, be careful not to smear exposed heating elements with baking soda.
3. reaction time
The exposure time for baking soda should be between 20 and 30 minutes. You should close the oven door so that the paste does not dry too quickly and the moisture remains in the oven for the time being.
4. post-cleaning of the oven
Ideal for cleaning the inside of the oven, is a microfiber cloth that you rinse repeatedly in clean water. The soda paste is relatively easy to wipe off with it and the dirt usually disappears without much scrubbing at the same time.
