Cleaning the oven is one of the least favorite household chores. Stuck-on dirt, grease and old food residues can be a real nightmare. If you don’t have a self-cleaning function, don’t despair! There is a simple trick that will help you clean the oven quickly and effortlessly – all you need is a dishwasher tablet.
How to clean the oven with a dishwasher tablet?
This easy trick removes burnt-on dirt without scrubbing. The procedure is simple:
-
Take a dishwasher tablet and place it in a baking dish or saucepan.
-
Pour in 1 liter of water.
-
Put the baking dish with the tablet into the oven.
-
Set the oven to the highest temperature and let the water boil until the tablet has completely dissolved.
-
After reaching the boiling point, turn off the oven, but do not open it for another 30 minutes.
The hot steam with the active ingredients from the tablet will spread throughout the oven interior and dissolve grease and burnt-on food residues. After the time has passed, simply wipe the oven with a damp sponge or cloth – without unnecessary effort!
Alternative method: cleaning with a paste made from the tablet
If you need to clean the oven more quickly, you can use a second method:
-
Take a dishwasher tablet and sprinkle it with a little hot water (not boiling!).
-
Once it softens and forms a thick paste, apply it to the soiled areas in the oven.
-
Let it sit for 30 minutes.
-
After the time has passed, simply wipe the oven with a damp cloth.
Why does it work?
Dishwasher tablets contain powerful degreasing agents that break down even baked-on grease. Thanks to them you can clean the oven without scrubbing and restore its original shine.
This trick is great not only for the oven but also for other greasy surfaces that need thorough cleaning. Try it and you’ll never have to scrub the oven with a sponge again!
