The oven is considered one of the most convenient and functional appliances in the kitchen. Unlike a gas or electric stove, it is enough to set the time and temperature here and you can do your own thing. Over time, the internal surface of the device becomes covered with various contaminants, soot and greasy deposits. Users who have installed household appliances with a self-cleaning function easily solve this problem, but not everyone has such units. From our article, we learn how to clean an electric oven at home using improvised tools and chemical compounds.

Cleaning the device from soot and grease

Before cleaning the electric oven from grease and soot, it is necessary to determine the means that will be used for this. Experts recommend giving priority to national recipes for the fight against pollution. The materials at hand are absolutely safe for human health, do not damage the respiratory system and do not cause allergies.

Some products release toxins into the atmosphere, so you need to work with them in a respirator and rubber gloves. Next, we will get acquainted with the most popular folk remedies that are used to clean the electric oven from pollution.

Lemon acid

Many users do not know how to wash the electric oven inside. Lemon wedges or citric acid powder can be used for this purpose. There are several options for using these tools:

1. We mix water with a detergent in a deep bowl, then add citrus or citric acid powder (1 packet), cut into pieces. We boil the liquid for 40 minutes, then remove the container from the oven. During heating, the water will evaporate and settle on the surface of the household appliance. This substance will destroy stable compounds, it remains only to remove soot and fat. This can be done with a foam sponge.
2. The second option involves treating the working surfaces with a special solution, which consists of water and lemon juice, the ratio of the components is 1 to 1. This mixture should be absorbed into the material, after half an hour the coating is cleaned with a sponge.

Fat can be removed with an acidified solution of water and citric acid powder. The liquid is poured into a sprayer for flowers and sprayed on surfaces. After 35-40 minutes, soot will begin to lag. Pollution is washed off with a sponge moistened in warm water.

Ammonia

Ammonia based medical solution fights well with the most persistent contaminants. There are several methods for using ammonia:

1. We put the solution on a dirty coating and wait 10-12 hours, then clean the electric oven with a foam sponge and detergent.
2. We heat the appliance to a temperature of 100 degrees, install dishes with ammonia on the lower shelf, on the upper water tank. We close the door and leave the equipment for 12 hours. After the specified time, we wash the internal surfaces with a special solution (10 ml of detergent and 20 drops of ammonia are diluted in 3 liters of water).

After cleaning the device with a solution, wipe the coating with clean water. A solution with ammonia will well pick up soot and greasy spots.

Combined citric acid, soda and vinegar

To simplify the cleaning of the oven, it is necessary to warm the cabinet to a temperature of 100 degrees. Next, do the following:

• to prepare a cleaning solution, mix 100 milliliters of vinegar and 15 grams of citric acid;
•  apply the substance on the working surfaces except tenov.

The composition should work for 20 minutes, after which we wash the coating and wipe it with a dry cloth. After carrying out such procedures, open the door for 10-15 minutes for ventilation.

Vinegar and Salt

Few people know how to clean an electric oven with vinegar and salt. To do this, you must:

• pour 500 milliliters of water into a deep bowl, pour a kilogram of salt and a tablespoon of vinegar, mix the ingredients;
• install the mixture on the lower shelf of the oven, turn on the electric appliance;
•  the solution is heated for 25-30 minutes;
•  wait for cooling and wipe the coating with a damp sponge.

The specified tool allows you to destroy persistent dirt on the doors, walls and bottom of the device, as well as on trays.

Using vinegar and baking soda

Fatty contaminants are destroyed by hydrogen, which is released as a result of the reaction of table vinegar with baking soda. Such a composition is effective even in the fight against obsolete deposits. When using these components, you must adhere to the following algorithm:

• wipe the walls of the device with vinegar;
•  pour soda on the sponge and re-treat. sprinkle soda powder on the bottom of the appliance and door.
• After a few hours, remove the adhering grease and dirt with a sponge.

After removing all contaminants, rinse the inside of the oven with warm water.

Baking powder

Not all users know how to wash the electric oven inside. For this, an unusual tool baking powder can be used. The procedure is carried out in the following sequence:

• soak a cloth or sponge, wipe the surface;
• sprinkle the walls and bottom with a baking powder;
•  After a few hours, wipe the roasting pan with a sponge and rinse with water.

The baking powder knocks dirt into lumps, so cleaning the coating will take a minimum time.

Laundry soap

This substance is absolutely safe for human health, it does not contain allergens and toxins. Cleaning the oven from contamination is as follows:

• rub on a fine grater half of the bar of soap;
• add the substance to the container with water, mix thoroughly;
• install the solution in the oven, set the thermostat 180 degrees;
• leave the product for 40 minutes;
• wait for the solution to cool;
• wash the coating with clean water.

After processing, open the cabinet door for half an hour, this will help get rid of the persistent aroma of soap.

Soda

Many housewives wonder how to wash the electric oven inside. You can use soda for this. Cleaning the appliance is as follows:

• wipe the inside of the device with a soft, damp cloth;
• distribute the powder over the coating with a kitchen sponge with a pile;
• leave the composition to soak for 1.5 hours;
• wash the soot with a rag, wash off the soda with clean water.

After cleaning, the door of the electric oven is left open for half an hour. This time is necessary for the complete drying of the device.

Salt

This tool absorbs fats well, can be used to clean the frypot from all kinds of contaminants. The algorithm of actions is as follows:

• evenly distribute crystals on a baking sheet and other surfaces;
•  warm the device until the color of the salt changes from white to light brown;
•  after cooling the stove, wipe the coating with water and diluted detergent, then with a clean liquid.

To prevent burning, it is necessary to periodically mix the substance on a baking sheet. If the electrical cabinet could not be cleaned the first time, the procedure is repeated.

Get rid of bad odors

After cleaning the electric oven from dirt in the room, an unpleasant aroma of detergents hangs. To prevent its spread in the room it is necessary:

• close the door of the household appliance for 2-3 hours;
• we heat the dishes with water in the oven in which the packaging of activated carbon tablets (10 pieces) was previously dissolved.

After processing, we apply a solution of citric acid or citrus juice to the coating, we rub the walls and the bottom of the device with onions.

Mechanical cleaning

The interior of the oven will be cleaned by an abrasive kitchen washcloth. This item cleans well any dirt, including greasy stains and soot. The washcloth is not used to clean glass doors. After such exposure, scratches may appear on this material, where dirt will subsequently fall.

Hot steam

Using a steam generator is a good way to deal with pollution inside a household appliance. If such a technique is not at hand, an alternative method is used:

• pour water into a deep fryer, add 10 milliliters of detergent to the liquid;
• set the temperature in the cabinet 150-180 degrees, carry out heating;
• install a container of water in the oven;
• warm up for 40 minutes;
• wait for the device to cool;
• wipe off grease and soot with a soft cloth or foam sponge.

Do not use hard washcloths when processing, because they can scratch the surface. To simplify the process of removing carbon deposits and persistent contaminants, carry out such work at least once every 3-4 weeks. If you neglect this advice, then the cleaning process may be delayed, this will lead to increased costs of cleaning products.

Conclusion

Most users buy special cleaning products for processing household appliances, but such substances can affect human health. When working with such compounds, it is necessary to use protective equipment (respirator and rubber gloves), work in a well-ventilated area, and turn on the hood in the kitchen. All surfaces must be thoroughly washed with clean water, because the active chemicals can be eaten into the structure of the material and combined with food during cooking.
