### 🧼 **How to Make & Use It:**

#### **1. Make the paste**

In a small bowl, mix the baking soda with just enough water to form a thick, spreadable paste.

#### **2. Apply to oven**

* Remove the oven racks.
* Using gloves or a sponge, spread the paste all over the **interior of your (cool) oven** — especially on greasy spots.
* Avoid heating elements or vents.

#### **3. Let it sit**

Let the paste sit **overnight** (or at least 8 hours). This gives the baking soda time to break down grease and stuck-on food.

#### **4. Wipe clean**

Using a damp cloth or sponge, **wipe away** the dried paste. You may need a plastic scraper for stubborn spots.

#### **5. Spray with vinegar**

Spray the oven interior with white vinegar. It will fizz where any baking soda remains — this helps lift residue and adds extra shine.

#### **6. Final wipe-down**

Give the oven one last wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Let dry before replacing the racks.

### 💡 **Tips for Best Results**

* **For really tough stains:** Reapply paste and let sit a second time.
* **For oven racks:** Soak overnight in hot water with dish soap and baking soda.
* **For oven windows:** Use the same paste or a combo of vinegar and baking soda for a streak-free shine.
