6. Dealing with Difficult Areas and Baked-On Greenery

Although the baking soda approach is quite good for overall oven cleaning, you could come across some especially tough stains or baked-on filth that call for further care. Mixing baking soda with a little white vinegar will produce a more powerful cleaning mixture for these difficult places. Even the toughest stains may be lifted with the fizzing action between these two components. Direct this paste to the troublesome areas, let it rest for one more hour, then gently scrub with a soft sponge or towel. You may also try creating a paste of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide for really tough areas. This combination makes a strong, yet still natural cleaning solution capable of removing even the toughest stains. Apply this paste to the problematic areas; let it sit for around half an hour; then, as normal, scrub and rinse. To be sure these stronger solutions won't harm the surface of your oven, always first test them on a tiny, discreet area first. Using these natural, low-cost techniques, even the most obstinate baked-on food and oil may be cleaned patiently and persistently.
