Step 2: A magic baking soda paste
In a bowl, mix 100g of baking soda with a few tablespoons of water to form a thick paste. This paste is ideal for removing baked-on grease. Apply it to the inside walls of the oven (avoiding heating elements) and leave it for at least 30 minutes.
Step 3: Pamper your grids
Soak the grates in a mixture of hot water and baking soda for 20 to 30 minutes. Gently scrub them with a sponge or brush, rinse, then let them air dry.

Step 4: The magic of vinegar
After letting the baking soda paste sit, wipe the oven walls with a damp sponge. Then, spray a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water onto any remaining residue. An effervescent reaction will occur, making it easier to remove the grime.
Step 5: Opt for steam cleaning
For tougher stains, fill a bowl with a mixture of equal parts water and vinegar. Place it in the oven and heat at 120°C (250°F) for 20 minutes. The steam will help loosen the stains.
Step 6: Impeccable finishing touches
Carefully wipe the inside of the oven with a damp cloth, then wipe with a dry cloth to avoid streaks. Replace the racks and admire the result: a sparkling oven, almost like new.
