Cleaning the oven might not be anyone’s favourite task, but it doesn’t have to be daunting. Regular maintenance keeps your oven working efficiently and prevents grease and grime from building up over time. The best part? You can get it sparkling clean without using toxic ingredients or harsh chemicals.
Here’s how to clean your oven naturally using Mint products.
Why It’s Important to Clean Your Oven
A clean oven doesn’t just look better, it performs better too. Built up grease and food residue can cause smoke, odours, and uneven heating. Regular cleaning helps extend the life of your appliance and keeps your meals tasting their best.
What You’ll Need
-
Old rag or microfibre cloths
-
Warm water
Step by Step: Cleaning Your Oven Naturally
Step 1: Use the Self Cleaning Feature (If Available)
If your oven has a self cleaning cycle, remove the racks first. Run the cycle according to the manufacturer’s directions. Once finished, move on to the next steps for a full refresh. If your oven does not have a self cleaning function, continue with these natural cleaning steps.
Step 2: Soak the Racks
Place the oven racks in a bathtub or large container filled with hot water and 2 to 3 Mint Dishwasher Tabs. Let them soak while you clean the rest of the oven. The longer they soak, the easier it will be to remove grease and baked on residue later.
Step 3: Clean the Inside of the Oven
Once the self cleaning cycle is done (or if you skipped it), start with a quick vacuum or wipe to remove loose debris. Spray the interior and the oven door glass with Mint All Purpose Cleaner. Sprinkle Mint Cleaning Scrub on the glass and any greasy spots.
For extra cleaning power, add a few drops of Mint Dish Soap and scrub from top to bottom using a Copper Scrubbie or cleaning brush. It might take a little elbow grease, but it is worth it for that fresh, spotless finish. Wipe everything clean with an old rag or microfibre cloths.
Step 4: Rinse and Replace the Racks
After soaking, check the racks. If any grease remains, use a Copper Scrubbie to remove it easily. Rinse and dry them thoroughly, then slide them back into your oven.
Now you have a sparkling oven, no toxic ingredients required!
Tips for Maintaining a Clean Oven
-
Wipe up spills right after cooking once the oven has cooled.
-
Do a quick spray and wipe with Mint All Purpose Cleaner every few weeks to prevent buildup.

Leave the door slightly open for a few minutes after using the oven to let moisture escape.
