QUESTION: How to clean the oven without harsh chemicals?

Cleaning the oven without using harsh household chemicals with a sharp odor is possible using simple and safe improvised means that can be found in any kitchen.

To prepare an effective cleaning paste, mix regular baking soda with a small amount of warm water until you get the consistency of thick sour cream. Distribute the resulting mass evenly over the inner walls and bottom of the oven, trying to completely avoid getting it on the heating elements and fan.

Leave the baking soda paste to work overnight so that the active components soften old grease and burnt food residues without mechanical effort. In the morning, carefully collect the softened dirt along with the soda using a damp soft sponge or a microfiber cloth.

To remove remaining grease traces and make surfaces shine, pour table vinegar into a spray bottle and spray it generously over the previously treated areas. As a result of the chemical reaction, active fizzing will begin, which will help lift micro-particles of dirt, after which you will only need to wipe the oven with a clean damp cloth.

If a very dense and old layer of grease has accumulated inside the oven, turn on the oven at about fifty degrees Celsius for just thirty minutes so that the interior warms up slightly. The heat will help soften stubborn stains, and the process of further manual cleaning with soda will become much easier and faster.

To effectively clean the glass door from the inside, prepare a fresh portion of paste made from soda and a drop of water, spread it over the glass and leave it for half an hour. Then gently rub the glass with a sponge and rinse off the remnants of the cleaning composition with warm water, achieving perfect transparency without scratches.
