1. One of the most unpleasant cleaning tasks is getting rid of the
   grease and grime 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°F and turn off. Spread the paste around
   the oven, applying it more heavily to very greasy 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 place, 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 can remove the smelly residue by spraying the surfaces
   with a mixture of equal parts vinegar and water. Wipe dry with a
   clean cloth.
