How to Use It:
1️⃣ Make a paste: In a bowl, mix baking soda with a little warm water to create a thick paste.
2️⃣ Apply to the surface: Spread the paste inside the oven, over greasy areas, and on the stove top. Let it sit for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
3️⃣ Spray vinegar: Pour vinegar into a spray bottle and mist it over the baking soda. It will start to fizz, breaking down grease and dirt.
4️⃣ Wipe clean: Use a sponge or cloth to wipe away the loosened grime. For stubborn spots, scrub gently with a non-abrasive pad.
5️⃣ Rinse and dry: Use a damp cloth to remove any residue, then dry with a clean towel.
💡 Pro Tip: For oven racks, soak them in a bathtub filled with hot water and baking soda for a few hours before scrubbing.
