This method is safe, natural, and super effective for most ovens. Baking soda and vinegar are two household staples that cut through baked-on grime without harmful chemicals.
### **Step 1: Remove Oven Racks**
1. Take out all the oven racks and set them aside.
2. Wash them in warm, soapy water in your sink. Use a non-abrasive sponge to remove stuck-on grease. Rinse well and dry completely before returning them to the oven.

### **Step 2: Create a Baking Soda Paste**
1. In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup of baking soda with a few tablespoons of water until you create a thick paste.
2. The paste should be spreadable but not too runny—adjust the water as necessary.

### **Step 3: Apply the Baking Soda Paste**
1. Using your hands (wear gloves if you prefer) or a sponge, spread the paste over the interior surfaces of your oven. Avoid the heating elements to prevent damage.
2. Focus on areas with visible grease, burnt food, or stains.

### **Step 4: Let It Sit**
1. Allow the baking soda paste to sit overnight, or for at least **12 hours**. This will give it time to break down tough grime and grease.

### **Step 5: Wipe Away the Paste**
1. After the paste has had time to sit, use a damp microfiber cloth or sponge to wipe away as much of the baking soda paste as possible.

### **Step 6: Use Vinegar for a Final Touch**
1. Mix equal parts water and vinegar in a spray bottle.
2. Spray the mixture onto any remaining residue in the oven. The vinegar will react with any leftover baking soda, loosening grime further.
3. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.

### **Step 7: Clean the Oven Door**
1. Use the same baking soda paste (or a bit of dish soap) to scrub the oven door with a soft cloth or sponge.
2. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

### **Step 8: Replace the Racks and Test Your Oven**
1. Once the oven is clean and dry, put the oven racks back in place.
2. Turn on the oven for 5-10 minutes to ensure everything is dry and there are no lingering smells.
