'Don't use vinegar' to clean oven glass as natural item works 'better' in 20 minutes
Oven cleaning can be a daunting task, but one cleaning hack has been shown to be more effective than white vinegar at removing grease from ovens - and it takes just minutes
Cleaning an oven can be a real chore, often requiring a lot of elbow grease and still not achieving that perfect shine. Spills and fallen food particles can become baked onto the inside of your oven.
Unfortunately, most traditional oven cleaners are packed with highly toxic chemicals that can be dangerous to breathe in.
For those stubborn "baked-on grease marks", there's a household staple that is "simple" yet "the most effective natural oven cleaner" - and it's not white vinegar. After testing eight different home remedies for oven cleaning, the experts at Soapranos Cleaning Services found that a combination of baking soda and water gives the "best results" for dealing with greasy ovens.

To use this trick, just mix three tablespoons of water with two tablespoons of baking soda until you have a smooth paste.
Spread this onto the inside of the oven and leave it for 20 minutes, then "wipe it off clean with ease," reports the Express.
The experts said: "Baking soda and water is one of the easiest cleaning solutions you can make and actually has better results than the ones that rely on white vinegar as the main cleaning ingredient.
"While white vinegar can be a good cleaning agent in other cases, its acid level isn't quite potent enough to dissolve the tough grime that's typical in most ovens."
What makes the baking soda solution so impressively effective is the inherent power of this everyday kitchen item.

They further explained, "Baking soda can absorb stubborn grease and help loosen the stuck-on burnt debris when used inside an oven."
However, they contested common advice about lemon juice's effectiveness on oven grease, finding that "lemon juice struggles to make a significant impact" on tough oven grime.
Despite lemon juice's efficiency in cleaning surfaces like countertops and bathtubs, these pros emphasize that it "does not have the power to break down the stuck-on grime" that lines the interior of ovens.
