Who hasn’t put off a thorough oven cleaning due to lack of time or fear of using harsh products? A clean oven makes all the difference: it heats better, preserves flavors, and eliminates those stubborn odors that have no place in our recipes. The good news is that you don’t need to pull out your arsenal of chemicals to achieve spotless results. The gentlest solutions are often the most effective, and you probably already have some in your cupboard.
Baking soda , lemon and vinegar, often underestimated, have a little superpower in gently disinfecting spaces. They are not for “disinfecting”, but they refresh surfaces, remove grease and make cleaning much more pleasant. A real winning trio for those who want to combine efficiency, savings and a simple daily routine.

Tip 1: Baking soda and salt mixture for stubborn dirt
Open the oven and see stains from a raclette party? Don’t panic. A mixture of baking soda and salt works as an exfoliating treatment for your oven. Simply mix a little hot water with the 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 come off.
The secret? A slightly granular texture that is perfect for removing residue without damaging surfaces. A method that is child’s play … and extremely effective.
Tip 2: Lemon, an ally of freshness that naturally scents
When your oven starts to smell bad, lemon will be your best friend. Its fresh scent and mild acidity will help loosen dirt while leaving a pleasantly clean feeling.
Pour a little water and lemon juice into an oven-safe dish, heat it for about thirty minutes, then wipe it with a damp cloth. The steam will do the work for you: loosening dirt and naturally scenting the interior. A truly pleasant touch for easy and sensory cleaning.
