1. Steam Clean with Vinegar & Water
- Fill a heatproof dish with equal parts water and white vinegar.
- Place it in the oven at 450°F (232°C) for 20–30 minutes.
- The steam will loosen grime, making it easier to wipe off with a damp cloth.
2. Baking Soda Paste for Tough Stains
- Mix ½ cup baking soda with a few tablespoons of water to make a spreadable paste.
- Apply it to greasy areas and let it sit overnight.
- Wipe it off with a damp cloth or sponge the next day.
- Spray with vinegar for extra cleaning power and wipe again.
3. Use a Dishwasher Tablet for Stubborn Grease
- Dampen a dishwasher tablet (the solid, compressed type) and scrub the grime directly.
- The detergent cuts through grease easily.
4. Magic Eraser for Quick Spot Cleaning
- A damp Magic Eraser works wonders on stubborn burnt spots and buildup.
5. Clean Racks in the Bathtub
- Place oven racks in a bathtub with hot water and a few dryer sheets or dish soap and baking soda.
- Let them soak for an hour, then scrub and rinse.
6. Prevent Messes in the Future
- Place a sheet of aluminum foil or an oven liner on the bottom to catch spills.
- Wipe up small spills as soon as the oven cools down.
