Here are three pro hacks to help you get through your next oven-cleaning session.

“Remember, some ovens have an inbuilt self-cleaning feature. If your oven has the feature, turn on self-cleaning for a better and easier cleaning process.”

It uses about 8kW of energy. It’s a smoky process, so make sure you keep your windows and doors open and keep the air circulating.

Clean your oven glass

• Take a long, thin plastic or metal rod — like a straightened hanger — and attach a piece of clean cloth or tissue to one end.
• Then dab the cloth with cleaning liquid and insert that end through the slot between the door and the glass.
• Wipe away dust and grime.
• It’s an easy and effective method and lets you monitor your baking process through the glass.

Remove unpleasant odors

• If you bake quite often, you would know the problems of unpleasant odors all too well.
• Add a few drops of vanilla extract in a baking dish, put it in, and turn on your oven.
• Let the scent of fresh vanilla fill your kitchen and you’ll get rid of all unpleasant smells in your oven.

Remove grease and dirt

• Combine baking soda, white vinegar, and liquid soap with water to form a paint-like paste.
• Remove all the racks and trays from your oven and, with a brush, coat the entire interior of your oven with the paste.
• Close the oven and let it sit overnight.
• In the morning, use a sponge and water to wipe away all the grease and you’ll have a sparkling oven.
