I don’t even think about scrubbing my dirty oven anymore: a friend taught me this trick and now it’s as good as new, simply!

Extra Tips for a Fresh-Smelling Oven

• Place a bowl of vinegar in the oven (turned off) overnight
• Wipe spills immediately after cooling
• Use a baking sheet to catch drips
• Avoid sugary spills, which harden quickly

Is This Method Safe?

Generally, yes—for most standard ovens.

However:

• Avoid heating elements
• Don’t mix vinegar and baking soda in closed containers
• Always test a small area if unsure

If in doubt, check your manufacturer’s guidelines.
