Cleaning Tips
and Hints

Keeping your oven smelling fresh is simple with this easy method using lemons and steam. The natural acidity of lemons helps to break down grime, while the steam loosens it, making it easier to clean. Follow these steps to refresh your oven:

Materials Needed:

• Lemon
• Microwave-safe bowl
• Water
• Soft cloth or sponge

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare the Lemons: Slice a lemon into several pieces. You can use more than one lemon for a stronger effect.
2. Fill the Bowl: Place the lemon slices in a microwave-safe bowl and fill it with water, leaving some space at the top to prevent boiling over.
3. Microwave the Lemon Water: Place the bowl in the microwave and heat it on high for about 3-5 minutes, or until the water starts to boil and steam is produced.
4. Let It Sit: Leave the bowl in the microwave with the door closed for a few minutes. The steam from the lemon water will loosen grime and absorb odors inside the oven.
5. Wipe Down the Oven: Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave. Use a soft cloth or sponge to wipe down the interior of the oven, including the walls and door. The loosened grime should come off easily.
6. Repeat if Necessary: If there is still grime remaining, repeat the process or use the lemon slices to scrub stubborn spots directly.

Additional Tips:

• Regular Maintenance: Use this method regularly to keep your oven smelling fresh and to prevent buildup of grime.
• Natural Freshener: This method is a natural and chemical-free way to clean and deodorize your oven.
• Alternative Fresheners: You can also use other citrus fruits like oranges or limes for a different fresh scent.

By following these steps, you can easily keep your oven smelling fresh and clean using the power of lemon steam, ensuring a pleasant cooking environment.
