**Here’s Nana’s No-Fuss Trick to Cleaning an Oven – You Just Need These 3 Ingredients**
### The Three Ingredients You’ll Need:
1. **Baking Soda**
2. **Vinegar**
3. **Water**
That’s it! These humble household staples are not only effective but also safe and natural. No toxic fumes or irritation—just a clean, fresh oven without the hassle. Let’s dive into Nana’s foolproof method for making your oven look brand new!
#### 1. **Prepare the Baking Soda Paste**
Start by making a simple cleaning paste. In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup of baking soda with a few tablespoons of water. Add the water a little at a time until you get a thick paste that can easily spread across the oven’s interior. The paste should be spreadable but not runny, so it clings to the surfaces that need cleaning.
2. **Apply the Paste**
Using your hands or a sponge, apply the baking soda paste generously to the interior of the oven. Focus on the greasy areas and any baked-on food, making sure to avoid the heating elements. Don’t worry about being too neat—this part is all about covering those tough spots with the paste. Let the paste sit for at least 12 hours (or overnight if you can), allowing the baking soda to break down the grease and grime.
