Stove Electric Oven Cleaning with White Vinegar and Steam

Using steam and white vinegar to clean the inside of your oven is chemical-free and does a lot of the hard work for you – bonus!

  1. To begin the steam clean, first remove the oven racks, but leave one in place, in the middle of the oven.
  2. Get a oven safe dish or bowl, halve filled with water and half with white vinegar.
  3. Turn your electric oven onto a high setting and place the bowl on the middle rack.
  4. Leave the steam to work its magic for 30-40 minutes.
  5. After the time has passed, turn the oven off and allow to cool.
  6. Once cold, open the oven door and wipe the inside of the oven with a damp cloth. The grime should melt away and make the task much easier.

Lemons and Water Bake Cleaning

This cleaning technique is similar to the above with uses lemons instead of white vinegar for a fresh natural scent. All you need is two lemons and some hot water.

  1. Fill an oven-proof pan with hot water and squeeze in the juice of two lemons.
  2. Once all squeezed, add the remaining lemon to the pan.
  3. Pop the pan in the oven, turn the heat on full, close the door and allow enough time for the water to boil. The combination will break down the grease and grime ready for cleaning.
  4. Turn off the oven and allow the oven to cool down before using a damp cloth to wipe away all the grime. Not only will the grease come off much easier, the kitchen will have a fresh citrus scent from the lemons.

Clean Stove Racks in the Bathroom!

The size of oven racks can sometimes make them difficult to clean in the kitchen sink. However there is another option – the bath tub!

  1. Before you begin, line the bath tub with old towels to prevent it from being scratched.
  2. Fill the bath with hot water and a few drops of washing up liquid or a dishwasher tab.
  3. Once nice and bubbly, submerge the oven racks under the water and allow them to soak for a couple of hours.
  4. Once soaked, give them a good scrub using a heavy-duty scrubber. Top tip: Get in the nooks and crannies by using an old toothbrush!
  5. Give the racks a rinse, dry and pop them back in the oven.
