Washing soda is considered an all-rounder in the household. Here are a few tips on how to clean the oven or burnt-in pots in a flash.
If you want to get the oven clean again despite stubborn dirt, you can use special cleaners. Others prefer to rely on tried and tested home remedies. So-called pure soda (not to be confused with baking soda, which is also known as cooking soda or baking soda) can also be used as a simple remedy for certain cleaning tasks in the kitchen. The agent, also known as washing soda, can be bought in drugstores, for example. It can be used as a spray solution to clean the racks or the walls of the oven.
Clean the oven: Spray solution with washing soda
To do this, it is recommended to mix some of the pure soda with water in a spray bottle (about a tablespoon in half a liter of water) and spray the solution (after shaking the spray bottle well) onto the heavily soiled areas. Then let it act for a while and wipe off any remaining residue with a damp cloth. Don't forget: You should always wear household gloves when cleaning with washing soda, as it can irritate the skin. Soda in powder form also forms dust very easily, as a report on

also states, and it can also irritate mucous membranes, eyes or respiratory tract. Therefore, you should be a little careful when handling it and, for example, make sure not to inhale dust or fumes and not to get the product in your eyes.
