No chemicals are needed to remove stubborn dirt in the oven.
Baking soda cleans the oven quickly and naturally.
For stubborn incrustations in the oven, many use oven spray.
But there is a catch: the next time you bake, the chemical smell settles on cakes, fries and the like.
Apart from that, chemical cleaners harm the environment.
With a natural home remedy like baking soda, you play it safe when cleaning.
What is baking soda?
Baking soda (not to be confused with washing soda or plain soda) is also known as baking soda.
The white powder is available in every supermarket in the baking department or in drugstores with the cleaning products.
Good to know: When cleaning, baking soda can be replaced 1:1 with baking soda, since soda is also contained in baking soda.
However, this does not apply to baking: In addition to baking soda, baking powder also contains an acid and starch content.
If you want to use baking soda as the sole raising agent for muffins or similar, you need another acidic ingredient, such as yoghurt or sour cream, so that the dough rises.

Clean the oven with baking soda and salt
Baking soda is a versatile household remedy that is excellent for cleaning the oven.
All you need is baking soda, salt and water:
Mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda with 1 tablespoon of salt and 2 tablespoons of water.
This creates a creamy paste.
Now spread the paste over the burnt-in areas with a brush or sponge.
Make sure that the paste does not come into contact with exposed heating elements in order not to damage them.
Leave everything on for about 20 to 30 minutes.
The oven door should be closed so that the paste does not dry out.
Then wipe the oven with a damp microfiber cloth or sponge - done!
No salt in the house?
Then simply mix the baking soda with water in equal parts.
