Cleaning the oven is one of those house cleaning chores that we love to ignore (Brits reported it as their least favourite household cleaning task<\/a>!). Close that oven door, and you can pretend all is well for a couple more months at least!<\/p>\n

But this is one chore you really shouldn\u2019t ignore for too long. Ovens accumulate grease and food debris over time, which can result in excessive smokiness and even result in a grease fire.<\/p>\n

Plus, the longer you wait to clean your oven, the harder it gets to do. So take a deep breath, buckle down and start cleaning!<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an easy, non\u2010toxic solution for oven cleaning:<\/b><\/h2>\n

Clean your oven racks<\/strong><\/h3>\n

1. Remove the racks from your oven.<\/p>\n

2. Sprinkle baking soda over the racks, then spray with vinegar. Watch out for the bubbling effect as the baking soda reacts to the vinegar.<\/p>\n

3. Place the oven racks in a large bucket big enough to soak your racks (you can use your bathtub for this too!) If using the tub, lay down some towels at the bottom first.<\/p>\n

4. Fill the bucket or tub with enough hot water to cover the racks, and let it sit overnight.<\/p>\n

5. The next day, scrub the oven racks with the coarse end of a sponge. Rinse thoroughly after.<\/p>\n

Make your own cleaning solution<\/strong><\/p>\n

Clean your oven with items that can be found in most household pantries: vinegar, coarse salt and baking soda.<\/p>\n

1. In a spray bottle, combine 100ml of vinegar with 200ml of water.<\/p>\n

2. Spray the inside of your oven with the solution, including the inner side of the oven door.<\/p>\n

3. Sprinkle baking soda all over the oven, and spray some directly onto any stubborn stains or tough dirt.<\/p>\n

4. Sprinkle a thick layer of coarse salt over the baking soda.<\/p>\n

5. Spray the oven again with your vinegar and water solution.<\/p>\n

6. Leave to sit overnight.<\/p>\n

Use some elbow grease<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Now you won’t be able to get away with zero scrubbing. But the good news is, with your pre-clean and your homemade solution, the rest of the oven cleaning shouldn\u2019t take much time at all!<\/p>\n

1. With the coarse side of a sponge, scrub the oven. Prepare to be amazed at how easily all that muck comes off!<\/p>\n

2. Spray with the vinegar and water solution again to remove the last of your oven debris.<\/p>\n

3. Wipe everything down with old towels or kitchen towels, and you’re all done!<\/p>\n

Time spent cleaning: <\/strong>2 -3 hours<\/p>\n


\nTime spent getting other things done while the racks clean:\u00a0<\/strong>8 hours<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now that your oven is nice and clean, use it to make the rest of your house smell amazing. Put two teaspoons of vanilla into an oven-proof coffee mug and place in a 150 degree Celsius oven for an hour.<\/div>\n
