How to deep clean your oven with lemon and baking

Instructions

1. Remove the oven racks and set them aside to soak in warm soapy water.
2. Mix the baking soda and water into a thick paste in a small bowl.
3. Spread the paste over the interior oven walls avoiding the heating elements.
4. Let the paste sit for at least 12 hours or overnight to break down grime.
5. Place an oven-safe bowl filled with water and lemon slices inside the oven.
6. Heat the oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes to create steam.
7. Wipe away the softened paste and residue with a damp microfiber cloth.

Tips

• Wear rubber gloves to protect your hands from grease while scrubbing.
• Use a plastic spatula to gently scrape off thick chunks of burnt food.
• Repeat the lemon steam step if the oven has heavy smoke residue.
