The oven is always closed, so often it is neglected to clean it, putting off such worries until later. Ultimately, it may turn out that it is not so easy to wash away the accumulated dried carbon deposits. In this situation, you can do it in different ways. Many will spend hours rubbing the oven with corrosive detergents. Others will use tough brushes to speed up the process, risking scratches. There is a third very simple and easy way that does not exactly harm the coating of the oven.
Inventory Required
To clean the oven you will need:
- baking soda;
- vinegar;
- water;
- heat resistant plate;
- sponge;
- paper towels.
Oven cleaning process
First, half a glass of soda is poured into a deep plate.
Then the same volume of water and a quarter cup of vinegar are added.
Exact observance of the proportion is not critical, the main thing is that vinegar and soda should not be less than the specified volume.
A chemical reaction will begin in the saucer, as a result of which carbon dioxide will be released. So that it does not become too active, it is better not to mix the contents. You need to soak the sponge in the solution and spread it over the most burnt areas in the oven.
It makes no sense to moisten the vertical planes of the oven, as far as the solution immediately drains down. Having processed all the horizontal spots, you need to put a plate with the rest of the mixture in the oven.
Now the fun begins. It is necessary to set the temperature on the thermostat to 100 degrees and turn on the heating for 45 minutes. It is worth starting the hood, because there is a slight smell of vinegar.
After warming up with a sponge and paper towels, you can erase the stained spots.
Best of all they go while the oven is hot, but still it’s worth a little wait so as not to get burned. While the inner surface is cooling, you can clean the glass of the door, which is safer.
This method works perfectly on ovens that support the steam self-cleaning function. On ordinary ovens, it is worthwhile to increase the duration of heating and accordingly use a larger solution. If you use paper towels to remove softened soot, the process will go faster, and soak the liquid dirt more thoroughly. The paper absorbs everything without streaks, so you do not need to finish wiping the surfaces with grease.
