- Cuts through grease
- Removes odors
- Leaves a refreshing citrus scent
4. Finish with a damp cloth
Wipe away the residue.
You’ll be amazed how clean the oven looks—no harsh chemicals, no scrubbing, no smoke next time you cook.
Why This Routine Works
Most of the grime inside an oven forms right after cooking, when surfaces are warm and moisture from food hasn’t fully dried.
Cleaning at this moment:
- Prevents grease from hardening
- Stops odors from lingering
- Reduces long-term buildup
- Makes deep cleaning far easier
Doing this after each use keeps your oven in near-perfect condition without major cleanouts.
Bonus Tips for a Naturally Clean Oven
✔ Use lemon water steam
When the oven is warm, place a heat-safe bowl inside with:
- 1 cup water
- Juice of 1 lemon + the peels
Let it steam for 10 minutes to loosen grime and add fragrance.
✔ Avoid harsh oven sprays
Many contain strong chemicals that smell unpleasant and require heavy ventilation.
✔ Clean spills immediately
A quick wipe while the oven is warm will prevent stubborn burnt spots.
Benefits of This Natural Method
- Safe for families and pets
- No toxic fumes
- Inexpensive
- Eco-friendly
- Works on both gas and electric ovens
- Leaves the kitchen smelling amazing
