Let’s be honest — cleaning the oven is one of those chores we all put off until it looks like something out of a science experiment.
Grease buildup.
Burnt-on splatters.
Carbonized crusts from last year’s casserole mishap.
And don’t even get me started on that stubborn grime behind the glass on the oven door.
I used to rely on the self-clean function — until I realized it only gets you halfway there.
The real magic happens when you go beyond the button.
Thankfully, there’s a simple, natural way to clean your oven top to bottom — using ingredients most of us already have in the pantry.
Let’s explore how to tackle your oven from the inside out — with less elbow grease and more smart strategy.
🔥 Why You Should Deep Clean Your Oven Regularly
Your oven works hard — but rarely gets the love it deserves.
Over time:
Grease builds up and becomes harder to remove
Food residue can burn and smoke during future baking
Odors linger, affecting how your food smells
Thick grime makes the self-clean cycle less effective
A clean oven isn’t just about looks — it improves performance, reduces fire risk, and keeps your meals tasting fresh.
So if you want your baked chicken to smell like herbs and not old cheese…
It’s worth the effort.
Even better?
This method works on:
Interior walls
Racks
Door window
Burner area
No toxic sprays required.
