Out of all the chores to get done in the home, oven cleaning is arguably the worst. Caked with spatter and coated in grime, it’s the ultimate time and budget buster for busy homeowners who would rather be doing something else — including you.
While looking the other way might work for a while, there will come a time when the dirt in your cooking area is simply too much to ignore. But with so many other things on your to-do list, cleaning up can feel like a Herculean undertaking.
Follow along as we explore the best way to clean an oven inside and out, followed by tips, tricks, and how Jim’s Cleaning can help.
Before we get into the nitty-gritty, let’s gather our products first.

Oven cleaning isn’t your average household chore. Unlike sweeping or dusting, ovens take hours and multiple ingredients to clean — not a great scenario for those short on time.
The good news? It can still be done in a day or less.
Here’s how to clean an oven easily, both inside and out.
The interior of your oven will be the toughest part to clean.
Start by wiping down the inside as much as possible. This isn’t really to clean the space but to prepare the oven for your cleaning mixture.
Now it’s time to create your paste. Combine the baking soda with a few tablespoons of water to make a thick scrub, then apply it to the walls of your oven using a rag or sponge. The scrub may turn brown on contact — this is normal!
You’ll want to wait twelve hours or more for the paste to dry completely. Let the mixture sit overnight while your oven racks soak in hot water. In the morning, you can wipe down both the racks and the oven with a damp cloth. Use your toothbrush and other utensils to remove caked-on food.
With most of the scrub mixture gone, your final step is to detail clean. Use your spray bottle of vinegar to spritz the oven’s sides, floor and ceiling, wiping up the foam with your damp cloth. Buff until clean and dry.
The inside of your oven should look leagues better than before!
Even if the inside of your oven looks spotless, the door and glass pane may not. Thankfully, the process of getting it clean is much faster than you’d think.
There are just three steps:
That’s it! Your oven door should look good as new.
With so many moving parts, you may not have time to complete a full oven cleaning on your own. Luckily, you can still make a difference with a five-minute pass-through.
These easy oven cleaning hacks do a lot with just a little:
Quick cleans are a great place to start with oven cleaning — but they definitely aren’t where you should stop. While regular five-minute passes can slow the dirtying process, they can’t and won’t take the place of a serious clean-up (which not all of us have time to do).
