Combine these three ingredients until you have a ‘smooth paste’ that is easy to spread.

‘Apply a thin layer to your oven and leave it on overnight,’ Chantel said.

The next morning, simply find a cloth and wipe down the surfaces, taking care to remove the paste and focusing on any difficult areas. 

You should follow this by spraying your oven with white vinegar, which will help to remove any ‘residue’ or grease.

The reason why this works is because baking soda is alkaline, which means it cuts through any acidic oven grease.

Meanwhile, the dish soap will ‘help to soften any built up grease’.

‘If you find it still doesn’t work, try leaving the mixture on for longer, or you may need to repeat the process a few times if there is a lot of built-up grease,’ Chantel said.

‘But it works a treat!’
