Directions for How to Clean an Oven Naturally

Make Baking Soda Paste

Add 3 parts baking soda with 1 part water (2 cups baking soda to 2/3 cups water is about enough to cover the bottom, sides, door and back of the oven). Mix baking soda and water together until it forms a smooth paste. You don’t want it too watery or too thick. Optional: add in several drops of tea tree or lemon essential oil. Tea tree and lemon are good clean smells and they will help with cutting through the grease. Stir together.
