A simple way to use it is the following:
- We put 1/2 cup of baking soda in a container and pour 2 tablespoons of warm water. The mixture will take on a doughy consistency. Of course, the amount we prepare will depend on the surface that needs to be treated.

Since if we use chemical agents, we must protect the floor with newspaper, ventilate the room, use gloves and, if possible , face mask.
To absorb the degreasing substance and the detached dirt, use a sponge soaked in warm water, rubbing the surfaces with relative force. We remove the remains with kitchen paper.
And as for toxic odors, we avoid them by turning the oven on at about 50 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes. Then we left the door open for an hour.

After using, cleaning the glass and oven door is the key
Once we know that the most difficult thing is to loosen the dirt if we let it accumulate, it is preferable then that, at the end of baking, we hope it cools down to clean the oven glass and door . Just a cloth with water and vinegar would be enough to remove the greasy film from the recent activity.
After the cloth we take an absorbent paper and with movements of the hand in one direction we dry thoroughly. At the end, it is advisable to turn on the oven for about 10 minutes so that it dries and does not retain undesirable odors.
