Homemade Oven Cleaner (that really works!)

We have the best Homemade Oven Cleaner that really works without heavy fumes. It is so easy to make and all natural.

My oven is overdue for a good cleaning but I haven’t wanted to use lots of chemicals to get the job done. The fumes from the store bought oven cleaners are pretty strong so I started looking for another solution.

This is the best oven cleaner for baked on grease and very simple to make. It works great and is completely all natural. I think you will be pleasantly surprised how well an all-natural oven cleaner can actually work.

I have been making my own cleaners for years and also like DIY Hardwood Floor Cleaner and DIY All-Purpose Cleaner.

Why We Love This

With a little elbow grease and a few simple ingredients, you can make the best oven cleaner without harsh chemicals. I bet you already have what you need at home to make this.

You are going to be so amazed how few ingredients is really needed to make the best oven cleaner. After using this, we all agreed our oven has never looked better.

Plus, I didn’t have to expose myself and my family to all those yucky chemicals or use the self-cleaning function. I have never had much success with the self-cleaning cycle on a self-cleaning oven.

While there are other methods with dish soap, lemons or lemon juice and more, I prefer this simple method.

Supplies

• ½ cup baking soda
• 3 tablespoons water
• white vinegar
• spray bottle
• small brush or foam brush
• rags

Step By Step Instructions

Step 1. In a small bowl, add the baking soda and water.

Step 2. Combine until a baking soda paste forms. It will be a thick spreadable paste.

Step 3. Brush the past on the oven grime with a foam brush or rag. The mixture should cover but remain on the oven surface. Don’t forget to sprinkle some on the oven door.

Step 4. Allow the mixture to stay in the oven for 4-6 hours until dry. Allowing it to soak will make it easy to remove the stains. Use a dry rag to rub the dry baking soda mixture off of the oven and scrub away the dirt and grime.

Step 5. Scoop and brush away the loose and excess baking soda. Then add vinegar to a spray bottle and spray the vinegar onto the oven. Make sure to cover all the areas.

Step 6. The remaining baking soda will fizzle and dissolve. Wipe away any residue with a damp cloth, paper towel or sponge.
