How to clean your oven in no time thanks to a simple and effective grandmother’s trick

 

Want to stick to a 100% natural routine? Here are two simple and equally effective alternatives.

The baking soda + lemon combo

A homemade paste that smells great and does the job perfectly:

Mix 3 tablespoons of baking soda with the juice of one lemon.
Apply generously to the dirty areas.

Leave on for 30 minutes, then lightly scrub with a damp sponge.

Result: Baking soda dissolves grease and neutralizes odors, while lemon disinfects and leaves a fresh scent.

White Vinegar Steam Bath
Steam is the best ally for softening residue without scrubbing.

Fill an ovenproof dish with a mixture of half water and half white vinegar.
Heat at 120°C (250°F) for 30 minutes in a closed oven.
Once cooled, simply wipe with a soft cloth.

Why does it work? The heat helps loosen dirt, and the vinegar gently deodorizes and disinfects.
