Or clean your oven with both baking and washing soda
While you may never have heard of washing soda before, it could pay to keep some of the sodium carbonate-based cleaning product handy at home. It’s not only great for cleaning laundry (its intended purpose), it can clean your oven, too.
“Mix a box of baking soda and ¼ cup washing soda” and spray it on the grimy surfaces inside your oven, leaving it overnight, suggests Sean Parry, a cleaning expert at U.K.-based home cleaning company Neat Services.
In the morning, remove the dried mixture with a soft cloth—or scouring pad for tougher messes—and follow up with a damp cloth to remove any remaining residue.
