If you mean a simple way to clean a badly burned oven without harsh scrubbing, try this:
-
Let the oven cool completely. Remove racks and loose crumbs.
-
Make a paste of baking soda + a little dish soap + water.
-
Spread it over the burned-on areas, avoiding heating elements and electrical parts.
-
Leave it overnight (8–12 hours).
-
Wipe with a damp cloth or non-scratch sponge. For stubborn spots, use a plastic scraper.
-
Wipe several times with clean water to remove residue.
-
Wash the racks separately in hot, soapy water.
The trick: don’t try to scrub the burnt grease immediately. Soften it for hours first, then wipe it away.
Avoid mixing bleach with vinegar, ammonia, or other cleaners, and check your oven manufacturer’s instructions before using any commercial oven cleaner or the self-clean cycle.
