To add a finishing touch, create a mixture of water and a few drops of dish soap. Use this to wipe down the oven’s interior one more time to remove any remaining traces of grease or cleaning agents.
Don’t forget to clean the oven racks separately. You can soak them in a tub filled with warm, soapy water or scrub them with a scrubbing brush.
Additional Tips:
For very stubborn stains or burnt-on residue, consider using a commercial oven cleaner. Follow the product’s instructions carefully, and make sure to ventilate the area.
To keep your oven cleaner for longer, consider using oven liners or placing a baking sheet on the rack below whatever you’re cooking to catch spills.
Regular maintenance can help prevent heavy grease buildup. Wipe up spills and splatters as soon as they happen, and schedule periodic cleanings to keep your oven looking its best.
Cleaning a very dirty oven may take some time and effort, but the results are worth it. A sparkling clean oven not only looks great but also functions more efficiently. Plus, you’ll be cooking in a healthier and more pleasant environment.
