    Sprinkle the bottom of your oven with 1/3 cup baking soda then spray over it with water.
    Leave it alone overnight or at least for several hours to let it work in.
    After letting it sit, you can scrape off the spills with a spatula.

    You can get the soapy taste off plastic bowls by spritzing with a mild solution of isopropyl alcohol and water. That works to take the dish detergent taste off Tupperware and plastic bowls so that your food doesn't taste like soap. I've been using this trick for years. And, it really works.
