Baking soda: A gentle abrasive that loosens baked-on gunk and neutralizes odors
Vinegar: Reacts with the baking soda to lift grime and cut grease
Water: Activates the baking soda into a paste that sticks and penetrates messes
This combo is non-toxic, safe for your oven, and doesn’t leave behind harsh fumes — just a clean, fresh finish.
👵 Nana’s Bonus Tips
Line your oven bottom with foil or a silicone liner to catch future spills.
