The home oven is one of the most useful and convenient appliances we use. Whether it's a traditional fixed oven, a compact one like those in the Ariete range, or even a microwave oven, it is used to prepare countless sweet and savory recipes to amaze—and tempt!—the palates of friends and family. Precisely because of its extensive use, it is an appliance that tends to get very dirty: if we don't intervene immediately to remove grease stains and food residues, it inevitably becomes a sign of an unhealthy and unhygienic kitchen. Let's see how to clean the oven perfectly without using the many chemical products on the market, but only by using natural remedies and, in addition, an innovative and much more functional solution offered by the continuous research of Ariete. 

How to clean you oven with natural products (Eco-Friendly Solutions)

In the daily use of an oven, dirt tends to accumulate and become baked on. Over time, it can even penetrate into crevices and the hardest-to-reach parts, as well as slip between the double glass panels of the door. Many of us, in case of persistent build-up, would be tempted to buy some of those chemical products that promise optimal results in a short time. These, however, can compromise food preparation, because the typical scent of detergents could remain impregnated in the oven and transfer directly to the dishes. 

It is therefore natural to ask how to clean the oven in the best way without running into these unpleasant drawbacks. And, above all, without using overly aggressive substances that could prove harmful to our health and the environment in the long run. You will have already realized that the reference goes to natural compounds that we can create directly at home, all gentle on surfaces and quite effective remedies.  

Generally, the most commonly used for oven cleaning involves mixing a glass of white vinegar with half a glass of salt, to remove both the most stubborn stains and all bad odors. The resulting mixture should be put into a spray bottle, to then be sprayed inside the oven. At this point, we must let it act for about half an hour before rinsing the entire surface. Alternatively, you can also use one cup of water, one of salt, and one of baking soda, naturally well mixed together. Arming ourselves with a soft sponge, we apply the mixture to the entire surface of our oven and let it sit for an hour. Upon rinsing with lukewarm water and a cloth, the appliance should return to shine. Good results can also be obtained by mixing 4 tablespoons of salt in a glass of vinegar, which should be removed from the oven with a sponge after thirty minutes. 

Cleaning Burnt-On Oven Glass: The Ariete Solution

Now that we know how to clean the oven using only easily available natural products, it's time to discover an innovative and decidedly more effective solution for cleaning its glass, one of the most complex parts to degrease. This solution, like all those designed by Ariete and featured in its extensive catalog, makes our lives much easier, saving us time and effort in cleaning operations. This is specifically Vaporì Jet, the steam gun equipped with a 250 cc aluminum boiler and a pressure of 3.5 bar. This is a tool that will be hard to live without once you've tried it, and which allows steam to be generated in just 3 minutes and used for another 15 minutes. In this way, the oven glass will be sparkling and sanitized in a few moments.

We recommend using Ariete's Vaporì Jet to clean and degrease the oven glass, avoiding pointing the steam gun jet directly at the heating elements, which could be damaged. Thanks to the rich kit of accessories provided - including an injector nozzle and a multi-purpose round brush - it will be very easy to sanitize the oven glass quickly, without risking our health or that of our family. The 100-degree steam, in fact, guarantees complete sanitization, eliminating 99.9% of germs and bacteria, completely naturally, without the need to use chemical detergents in addition to simple tap water.
