Let's get started because my oven really needs a cleaning! Here is what it looks like before I start to clean. 

1. Remove Racks

First, remove the racks from your oven.

2. Prepare DIY Cleaning Ingredients

Take out your pure white vinegar and baking soda.

You'll need 1 cup of baking soda which you should pour in a glass bowl as well as a third of a cup of water until it makes a thick paste. 

Add them together and mix it well.

3. Apply the Paste

Spread the baking soda mixture onto the surface of your oven.

Clean in circular motions. 

I used a cloth but I think using a sponge might work even better!

I moved inside the oven to clean the bottom and sides. 

4. Let the Mixture Sit Overnight

Now it's time to let it sit overnight.

A little patience can go a long way.

5. Clean the Racks

I also cleaned the oven racks with an all-purpose cleaner just to go one step further! 

6. Apply Vinegar

Approximately 12 hours later, I found an empty spray bottle and filled it with vinegar. Spray it onto the surface of your oven! 

It will fizz which is super satisfying

7. Scrub the Oven

Once your oven is covered in vinegar take a cloth and rub away the baking soda mixture and grime!

Take a spatula to scrape away the bits stuck onto the bottom of the oven.

This step can get messy and might take a while depending on how nasty your oven is.

For my oven, it took a good 10 min.

Once all the nasty stuck-on grime is removed, wipe your oven down with a warm damp cloth to get rid of the vinegar and baking soda.
