This natural hack will leave your oven sparkling
Ready to give your oven a deep clean without harsh chemicals? This simple, eco-friendly method uses just a lemon, some bicarbonate of soda, and a bit of elbow grease. It’s safe, effective, and leaves your kitchen smelling fresh.

What you’ll need:
- 1 lemon
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- A scrubbing brush
- A small oven-safe dish
- Water
Instructions
Steam first
Cut your lemon in half. Slice one half and place the slices in an oven-safe dish with a little water. Heat at 180°C for 20 minutes. The steam will help loosen grime and grease.
Natural scrub
Take the other half of the lemon, sprinkle on the bicarbonate of soda, and use it to scrub the oven door and interior.
Brush it clean
Grab your brush and get scrubbing. The combination of lemon and bicarb lifts dirt and cuts through grease naturally.
Don’t waste that lemon water
Use the warm, lemony liquid from the oven dish to soak and clean your oven trays and shelves.
Final wipe
Wipe everything down with a damp cloth and enjoy your fresh, clean oven.
Simple, sustainable, and seriously effective. Will you give it a try?
