How to prepare your DIY oven cleaner?

It's very easy: just squeeze half a lemon into a container, add a spoonful of white wine vinegar and mix this together. Once this is done, add a spoonful of baking soda, mixing again until you get a homogeneous compound.

To use this compound, apply it (with the help of a sponge) to the dirty spots/areas.Then, leave on to act for half an hour. After this time has passed, heat the (empty) oven to 180 degrees C for 15 minutes. Then, let the oven cool down and remove the compound (and dirt) with a damp cloth. Mission accomplished! Your oven will be as clean and fragrant as when it left the factory (or will be close enough).

Don't forget that keeping your oven clean is also a health and hygiene matter of significant importance.
