Oven Cleaning Without Harsh Chemicals: Our Method

How to get a genuinely clean oven using baking soda, vinegar and patience — no caustic fumes.

Oven cleaners you buy in a supermarket work, but the fumes are brutal. Our eco version: mix half a cup of baking soda with a few tablespoons of water into a paste, coat the interior (avoid the heating elements), and leave overnight. Scrape with a plastic spatula, then spray white vinegar on the residue — it foams and lifts the grease. Wipe everything with a damp cloth until no paste remains. Racks can soak in the sink with soda crystals and hot water. It takes patience instead of chemicals, which is why we use this method for family homes. For an oven you can't face, Dee Spark does professional oven cleaning across Birmingham.
