This secret remedy costs pennies, but works better than store-bought sprays.

Vinegar and soda

Take regular baking soda and vinegar. The soda eats away at old dirt, and the vinegar enhances the effect by removing grease and odor.

Mix a couple of tablespoons of baking soda with water to form a thick paste.

Apply it to dirty spots inside the oven with a sponge or cloth.

Then pour vinegar into a spray bottle and spray it over the baking soda.

The mixture will begin to hiss and bubble, softening the carbon deposits in a matter of minutes.

After 15-20 minutes, wipe the surface with a damp cloth and you will see that the dirt comes off on its own, without long friction.

For particularly difficult areas, add a little more baking soda and leave the paste for half an hour.

Vinegar can be replaced with citric acid to enhance the effect.

The method has been tested by dozens of housewives on old ovens with a thick layer of fat, and it works flawlessly.

The savings are significant, because soda and vinegar cost pennies compared to household chemicals.

Sometimes the simplest things solve problems better than they seem at first glance.
