1. One of the most unpleasant cleaning tasks is getting rid of the grease and g
rime that builds up inside your oven. Make a paste of 1 cup vinegar and 1/4 cup
 powdered laundry detergent. Heat your oven for 5 minutes at 350 degrees and tu
rn off. Spread the paste around the oven, applying it more heavily to very grea
sy areas. Leave the paste on for an hour, then use a plastic spatula to gently 
scrape the dirt away.

2. To prevent grease, grimy buildup in your oven from happening in the first pl
ace, dip a sponge in full-strength vinegar and wipe down all sides of the oven.

3. If you've already used a commercial oven cleaner to tackle your oven, you ca
n remove the smelly residue by spraying the surfaces with a mixture of equal pa
rts vinegar and water. Wipe dry with a clean cloth.
