Wiping the Interior Surface
Remove the lemon bowl carefully using heat protection.
Take a soft cloth or sponge and gently wipe the interior oven surfaces.
You will notice that grease and dirt have become softer and easier to remove.
Apply gentle pressure while wiping. There is no need to scrub aggressively because the lemon steam has already done most of the work.
If some stubborn stains remain, dip the cloth lightly in the remaining lemon solution and wipe again.
Cleaning the Oven Door
The oven door often collects grease splatters and fingerprints.
Use the same lemon solution to wipe the glass surface.
Move the cloth in circular motions to remove smudges effectively.
If grease marks are stubborn, allow the lemon solution to sit on the surface for a few minutes before wiping.
Dealing With Strong Odors
If your oven has lingering food smells, lemon is especially helpful.
Citrus oils help neutralize unpleasant odors by interacting with odor molecules.
After cleaning, leave the oven door open for about 15 minutes to allow fresh air circulation.
