Step-by-Step: How to Clean Your Oven with Steam
1️⃣ Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
2️⃣ Prepare your mixture: Pour 1 cup water + 1 cup white vinegar into the oven-safe dish.
3️⃣ Place the dish inside your oven, on the middle rack.
4️⃣ Let it steam for 30–45 minutes. The hot vinegar steam will loosen baked-on grime and grease.
5️⃣ Turn off the oven and let it cool slightly (you want it warm, not hot).
6️⃣ Wipe away the grime using a damp cloth or sponge. You’ll be amazed at how easily the mess comes off!
Tips for Best Results
✨ For stubborn spots, dip your sponge in a little baking soda and scrub lightly.
