2. **Make a Paste:**
Mix the baking soda with water until it forms a spreadable paste.
3. **Apply the Paste:**
Spread the paste all over the interior of the oven—walls, floor, and even the inside of the door (but avoid heating elements). Let it sit overnight or for at least 8 hours.
4. **Spray with Vinegar:**
The next day, spritz vinegar wherever you see dried baking soda. It will foam and help lift off the grime.
5. **Wipe It Clean:**
Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe everything down. For stubborn spots, a plastic spatula can help scrape gently without scratching.
6. **Final Rinse:**
Wipe the surfaces again with clean water to remove any leftover residue. Let the oven air-dry with the door open for a while.

### **Bonus Tip:**
Want a fresh scent? Add a few drops of lemon juice or essential oil (like lavender or eucalyptus) to the vinegar before spraying.
