How to do it
Put on gloves made of plastic and mix bicarbonate of soda and water to make a paste. Take the racks out of the oven. Be careful not to get the paste on the door, the burning element, or the light bulb when you put the paste inside the oven. Spend the night with the paste.
Fill up a sink or bathroom with hot water and some dish soap. Put the oven racks in water for at least two hours. First wash it well, then rinse it and let it dry. It’s possible that the baked-on grime won’t come off. To do this step again, soak a dish soap pill in hot water and let the racks soak again before you scrub, rinse, and dry them.
Overnight, let the bicarbonate of soda break down the grease. Use a dish brush or scour sponge that won’t scratch to clean the oven well the next day. Spray white vinegar that hasn’t broken down on the oven and let it sit for a few minutes. If you still see dirt that is baked on, wipe it down again. After that, wipe it down with a wet cloth.
Now is the time to clean the glass. Mix bicarbonate of soda and water to make a paste. Cover the oven window with the paste. Wait thirty minutes. Use a soft, wet cloth to wipe off the paste and grease. Then, use a wet cloth to wipe down the glass after spraying it with vinegar. You can clean between the glass in some oven doors by pulling them apart. (Read the instructions that came with your oven to find out how to do this safely.)
The oven’s outside needs to be cleaned. Use a wet microfiber cloth with some dish soap on it to clean the buttons, the outside glass, and the door handle. You’re done when you put the clean oven racks back in.
