You may have heard people raving about using baking soda as a cleaning product. Once you\u2019ve tried using it in your home, you\u2019ll see what they mean! Baking soda can be particularly effective for oven cleaning.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s inevitable that food will splatter down the inside of our ovens. Our pasta bakes bubble over, oil spills from a roast, and sauces drip onto the racks. At some point, we\u2019re all faced with a black, sticky mess in our oven. That, let’s be honest, we try and ignore for as long as possible!<\/p>\n

But eventually, the time will<\/em> come when we need to clean it. This means you’ll need an oven cleaning service to remove the baked-on grime. Or you could simply turn to two simple supermarket ingredients – baking soda and vinegar.<\/p>\n

One of the best things about using a baking soda and vinegar solution is it means not exposing your skin to another cleaning product laden with chemicals. What’s more, it’s cheap and you probably already have it in your kitchen!<\/p>\n

\"Baking<\/a><\/p>\n

Baking soda and bicarbonate of soda (\u201cbicarb soda\u201d) are leavening agents, meaning they create bubbles that expand while baking, causing batters to rise. Bicarb soda is the purer form of the leavening agent and requires an acid plus moisture to cause the bubbles. Baking soda is simply bicarb soda which has already been premixed with an acid (often cream of tartar).<\/p>\n

It\u2019s this bubble-making action that is so effective in lifting food debris from your oven. When you use baking soda or bicarb soda together with highly acidic vinegar, the resulting mixture breaks down food particles like nobody\u2019s business.<\/p>\n

Because it\u2019s a natural product, you may be assuming it can\u2019t be effective on a crusted-up oven. But it actually does a brilliant job at oven cleaning. Best of all, there are no harsh fumes emanating from your oven next time you bake, and no harmful chemicals lingering in the place where you cook your food. Sure, you may want to wear rubber gloves if old food grime is a bit icky, but at least you won\u2019t be risking burns if you don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

So what\u2019s the best way to use baking soda for an oven cleaning service?<\/h2>\n
