Clean Oven Racks
Remove the oven racks and soak them in dish hot water and dish detergent. A bathtub works great for this. Line your tub with an old towel to keep it from getting scratched. Then place your oven grates on the towels. Add 1 cup of liquid dish detergent and fill the tub to cover the racks. Allow the racks to soak for several hours or overnight if you can. Then take a scrub brush or sponge and scrub all the grim off the oven grates. The grim should come over very easily after soaking for several hours.
Clean Out Crumbs and Protect Heating Elements
Clean out all the crumbs from the bottom of your oven with a vacuum or damp cloth. Then take pieces of aluminum foil and carefully wrap up the heating elements. This will ensure that the heating elements won’t come in contact with the baking soda solution. In the case of a gas oven, use the foil to block the interior vents to keep the baking soda from falling down there.
Apply Baking Soda Paste
Spread this paste onto the bottom, sides and door of your oven using a silicon spatula or a thin cheap paint brush. Sprinkle a little salt onto the really dirty portions of your oven. Let the paste sit for at least one hour, but it you have the time, overnight is better.
