To clean an oven with baking soda, start by making a paste with baking soda, dish soap, and water. There are no real measurements—just add the ingredients until the mixture is the consistency of toothpaste, and apply it directly with a microfiber cloth. Next, boil a pot of water on the stove, then put it in the oven and close the door. The steam will help loosen all the grime. After a few minutes, open the oven and wipe the paste off.

Create a mixture of warm water and baking soda, and then let it sit on the oven for about 10 to 20 minutes. Then, take a microfiber cloth and wipe the oven down, making sure you wipe any streaks and debris.
