Cleaning oven made easy: Home hack using vinegar and lemon

The oven gets dirty quite quickly and presents a challenge when cleaning. For this reason, many people postpone cleaning it, which results in even more work. Fortunately, there are ways to speed up this tedious task.

How do you clean the oven without putting in too much effort? Home methods can truly transform this sometimes irritating task and make the troublesome appliance shine in just a few moments. Everyone who struggles to keep their frequently used oven in order should know this method.

Dried grease and food residues often present a challenge when thoroughly cleaning the oven. Scrubbing is very labour-intensive, and not all cleaning products can handle tough stains. Interestingly, household products that you wouldn't expect to help can keep the kitchen tidy. The following method will make your oven shine. All you need is water, vinegar, and lemon.

Pour water into an oven-safe dish, add a small amount of vinegar and the juice of one lemon, place the dish on the middle rack of the oven, and heat it to about 120°C. Close the door and wait half an hour. The mixture should start to vaporize, dissolving all the dried dirt. After the designated time, turn off the oven and let it cool. Then, take a previously soaked cloth and wipe off the residues. Everything should come off effortlessly.

Both vinegar and lemon are natural acids with solid cleaning properties. When they turn into steam in the oven, they reach even the most hidden crevices.

This method is not only practical but also more eco-friendly. It doesn't require the purchase of expensive, specialized products, which is also beneficial for our wallet.
