Cleaning the oven is a task that most households dread, especially when it comes to the glass door. The longer this chore is delayed, the more difficult it becomes to remove the stains. But according to Erin, a natural cleaning expert and the mastermind behind the Lemons Lavender and Laundry blog , it's not as intimidating as it seems.

She recently revealed an easy cleaning method that claims to handle even the toughest, baked-on messes without using any harsh chemicals. Erin admitted: "I have to confess, I never really paid attention to the inside of my oven door. I simply ignored the fact that baked-on food had been accumulating for years.", reports the Express .

"I hadn't cleaned it in the five years we lived in our house, and let's be honest, I'm guessing the previous owners probably didn't clean it often either. This means I could be dealing with 14 years of greasy, grimy, baked-on food. While there are plenty of tips and tricks on how to clean a glass oven door, I love this method because it uses one simple, natural ingredient: baking soda."

So, what makes baking soda so effective?

Its high pH level makes it a formidable opponent against acidic grease and charred food, providing a gentle yet abrasive solution for dirty oven doors.

Erin shared a game-changing tip for getting that oven door looking like new again with nothing but baking soda, water, and a bit of elbow grease. "While using baking soda takes a little more time and effort than using an oven cleaner, it certainly does the job; and without harmful chemicals."

She divulged the steps for a spotless oven without scratches: just mix up a baking soda paste, slather it on the glass door, let it sit, and then scrub away.

With patience and a homemade paste, Erin advised: "The goal is to cover the entire glass oven door with the baking soda paste. If you find you do not have enough paste, simply add more baking soda and water."

Then she gave a pro tip for achieving just the right consistency: "If the paste is thick and clumpy, add more water; if it's thin and runny, add more baking soda."

After letting the mixture work its magic for at least 30 minutesor even overnight for those tougher jobsit's time to scrub in small sections before clearing away the residue with a damp sponge.

Gleefully celebrating the fruits of her labor, Erin couldn't help showing off her sparkling oven glass, exclaiming: "It's like a mirror! I'd say that was one successful cleaning tip! ".
