How to clean your oven quickly using natural tips

A sticky oven, lingering odors, stains that seem to be there forever… We all know that moment when we open the oven door hoping for a miracle. What if the solution was already in your kitchen, ready to use without any extra effort? Three everyday ingredients can transform a chore into a simple, even somewhat satisfying routine… but which ones?
Cleaning your oven naturally: why we love it

Who hasn't put off a thorough oven cleaning due to lack of time or fear of using harsh products? Yet, a clean oven makes all the difference: it heats better, preserves flavors, and eliminates those lingering odors that have no place in our recipes. The good news is: there's no need to bring out a chemical arsenal to achieve a spotless result. The gentlest solutions are often the most effective, and they're probably already in your cupboards.

Often underestimated, baking soda, lemon, and vinegar have a little superpower for gently sanitizing spaces. They aren't meant to "disinfect," but they refresh, eliminate grease, and make cleaning much more pleasant. A true winning trio for those who want to combine effectiveness, savings, and simple daily routines.

Tip 1: Baking soda and salt mixture for stubborn residues

Open your oven and discover splatters from a raclette party? Don't panic. A mixture of baking soda and salt acts as an exfoliating treatment for your oven. Simply mix a little hot water with these two ingredients until you get a thick paste. Spread it with a soft sponge, leave it for about an hour, then rinse: the grease will almost completely peel off.

The secret? A slightly grainy texture, perfect for removing residue without damaging the surfaces. A method as easy as pie… and remarkably effective.

Tip 2: Lemon, the freshness ally that naturally perfumes

When your oven starts to smell unpleasant, lemon becomes your best friend. Its fresh scent and gentle acidity help loosen grime while leaving a pleasantly clean feeling.

Pour a little water and lemon juice into an ovenproof dish, heat for about thirty minutes, then wipe with a damp cloth. The steam does the work for you: it loosens impurities and naturally perfumes the interior. A truly delightful touch for simple and sensorial cleaning.

Tip 3: Vinegar + salt for a quick clean

When you're short on time but still want your oven ready for a delicious Sunday meal, the vinegar and salt duo is a quick and easy solution. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes before applying it with a sponge. The most stubborn stains will soften quickly, making rinsing a breeze.

In addition to being economical, this trick makes walls shine effortlessly. A sure-fire solution for busy weeks.

How to restore shine to the inner glass
of your oven. The oven glass is often the most dreaded part… and yet, it's not as difficult as it seems. By following the manufacturer's instructions, you can usually remove it in just a few steps: open the door, unlock the hinges, carefully remove the glass, clean, dry, and then put everything back in place. A bit like putting together a very simple puzzle, but with an incomparable sense of satisfaction. 

What is the correct cleaning frequency?

After a generous gratin or a particularly flavorful dish, a quick clean prevents splatters from becoming ingrained. On a regular basis, monthly cleaning (or twice a month if you cook often) is more than enough to keep your oven clean, pleasant, and easy to use.
