## How to Make and Use Your Oven Cleanser
### 1. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, combine the baking soda and salt. Baking soda is excellent for breaking down grease and burnt food, while salt acts as a gentle abrasive to scrub away grime.
### 2. Add the Wet Ingredients
Add the liquid dish soap and white vinegar. The vinegar reacts with baking soda to help lift tough stains. Stir everything together until it forms a thick paste. If needed, add a little water to adjust the consistency — you want it spreadable but not too runny.
### 3. Optional: Add Essential Oils
Add your favorite essential oils for a pleasant scent and extra cleaning power.
### 4. Apply to Your Stove and Oven
Using a sponge or cloth, spread the paste generously over the oven’s interior surfaces or stovetop areas that need cleaning. Focus on greasy spots and baked-on messes.
### 5. Let it Sit
Allow the cleanser to sit for **15 to 30 minutes**. This gives the ingredients time to break down the grime.
### 6. Scrub and Wipe
Using a scrub brush or non-abrasive sponge, scrub the surfaces gently but firmly. Wipe away the paste with a damp cloth. For stubborn spots, repeat the process as needed.

## Tips for Best Results
* For very tough stains, leave the cleanser on overnight and wipe clean in the morning.
* Regular cleaning prevents buildup and makes maintenance easier.
* Test a small hidden area first to ensure the paste won’t damage surfaces.
* Use gloves to protect your hands if you have sensitive skin.
