A dirty oven is not exactly a representative element of our kitchen. When a visitor comes, we are often ashamed of the condition of the oven. In addition, settled dirt reduces baking efficiency, so we just waste energy. How to clean properly?
Follow the basic rule
Before we look at effective cleaning procedures, one important rule needs to be remembered. It will be difficult to start cleaning when the oven is idle and nothing has been prepared in it for a long time. It is ideal to use the moment when you just baked. Close the door and do not allow the oven to ventilate. You need the moisture that has formed here.
Or you can now turn on the oven for half an hour and put a pot of water inside. The effect will be the same. Humidity will be released and you will be able to work effectively and without toil.
Cleaning vinegar also disinfects the oven
Vinegar is one of the most effective cleaners ever. It is a natural disinfectant and its ability to remove unpleasant odors and dirt is famous. The steel parts of the oven are right to degrease them well.
First, pour into the nebulizer three quarters of the vinegar content, add hot water to the rest. Spray the contents of the oven with this mixture and leave it to act for at least a quarter of an hour. Then bring an ordinary kitchen sponge to help and ruthlessly remove the loose dirt.
Degrease and clean with ordinary lemon
Citrus fruits are known to be great bleaches. In addition, they have cleaning and degreasing capabilities. Squeeze the juice of two lemons and then pour it over a sieve. Add a little water and pour the mixture into the sprayer. Spray the inside of the oven again with this mixture and leave it to act for 10 minutes. After releasing grease and dirt, just wipe everything with a sponge.
Baking soda has abrasive properties
Do you need to clean up places where the dirt is really relentless? Ordinary baking soda will be enough for this. Make a gel-like mixture of soda and a little water to coat the affected areas. Leave on for a few minutes and then wipe with a sponge. Don’t be afraid to press, you can also use the rougher part of the sponge.
And it’s clean, finally the oven is in perfect condition again.
