Cleaning the oven is a task that often requires a lot of effort, and therefore many people put off the task for a long time. However, Australian cleaning influencer and mother-of-two Chantel Mila has a simple "trick" that she says is "the way to keep it cleaner longer."
The mum, who shares home and lifestyle content on her TikTok page @mama_mila_ , said she's had many requests to make a video on how to clean an oven. Instead of buying expensive oven cleaners, however, she recommended using two kitchen items you may already have.
Chantel added that the items will leave her oven "shinier longer." All you need for the trick is baking soda and dish soap.
Chantel recommends making a solution of 1 cup baking soda and 3 cup dish soap and mixing the two together until they form a thick paste.

In addition, the mineral structure of baking soda acts as a mild abrasive to remove dirt build-up without leaving hard scratches.
Since ovens tend to be greasy, dish soap is a good choice as many of its properties are aimed at removing grease and other cooking materials. If you want to reduce the use of harsh chemicals, be sure to choose a natural detergent.
After allowing the soap and baking soda solution to sit, Chantel recommends using a scraper blade to "gently remove baked-on dirt."
The scraper blades lie flat and low against oven surfaces, including the oven door, to lift stuck fat shavings. Oven scrapers can be bought from Amazon for just £6.99.
Finally, wipe off any excess mixture with a clean, damp cloth and allow the inside of your device to dry. Chantel also recommends lining your oven with a reusable oven liner.
This will work to catch any mess created during cooking and most oven inserts are easily washed. You can buy a twin pack of non-stick oven sheets from Amazon for £7.99. Chantel's video has garnered almost 700 likes on TikTok at the time of this writing.
