Over the years, the oven has suffered quite a bit: With these home remedies, you ensure that it always shines.
Gravy, fat splashes, leftovers: They all create unsightly residues and crusts that burn into the oven each time they are used. Then, at some point, it will be difficult to remove food particles from the surfaces - but not impossible. With certain household remedies, you can ensure that your oven is quickly polished to a high gloss again. We'll tell you which they are.
How to prepare your oven for cleaning
Before you start scrubbing, make sure that small parts in the oven are removed . In the tube, for example, this could be the side grids that can be removed from some ovens. The bottom can also be partially removed.
After that, you should soften coarse dirt such as burned-in material so that the residues can detach from the surface. All parts that you have previously removed can be soaked in a diluted vinegar cleaner for several hours. Then wipe again with a tea towel or rag and you're clean again.
You can clean the oven with these home remedies:
- salt
- baking powder
- lemon juice
- bicarbonate of soda
- shaving cream
- vinegar
- washing powder
Cleaning the oven: How to save your oven with salt
There is no household without salt - and fortunately, it is not only suitable for cooking, but also for cleaning. After use, wipe the oven with a damp cloth and then sprinkle it generously with salt.
Heat the oven to 50 degrees and wait until the salt turns brown. Then let it cool down before you use a damp cloth to remove the salt and dirt, which should now easily come off, from the oven.
Home remedies: baking powder makes the oven shine again
Chemical aids are completely unnecessary if you have baking soda in the house. If you mix it into a paste together with water, it is excellent for removing leftover food from the oven. Simply rub the affected areas with it, let the whole thing take effect and then wipe everything with a damp cloth.
