Cleaning your oven can be a daunting task, especially if it has been neglected for a while. However, there is a simple and effective way to clean your oven with a dishwasher tablet. Yes, you read that right! You can use a dishwasher tablet to clean your oven and make it look like new. Here’s how to clean your oven with a dishwasher tablet:
- Gather your supplies
You’ll need a few supplies to clean your oven with a dishwasher tablet. These include:
- Dishwasher tablets (2-3)
- A bowl of hot water
- Rubber gloves
- A sponge or cleaning cloth
- A scraper or spatula
- A spray bottle filled with water
- Remove the oven racks
Before you start cleaning, remove the oven racks and set them aside. You’ll clean them separately later.
- Crush the dishwasher tablets
Take two to three dishwasher tablets and crush them into a powder. You can use a mortar and pestle, a rolling pin, or a plastic bag and a hammer.
- Mix the dishwasher tablet powder with hot water
Mix the crushed dishwasher tablet powder with hot water in a bowl. Stir the mixture until it forms a thick paste.
- Apply the paste to the inside of the oven
Put on your rubber gloves and use a sponge or cleaning cloth to apply the dishwasher tablet paste to the inside of the oven. Apply the paste evenly and make sure to cover all the dirty areas.
- Let the paste sit
Allow the dishwasher tablet paste to sit on the oven’s interior for at least 30 minutes. If your oven is extremely dirty, you can let the paste sit for up to 2 hours.
- Scrub the oven
After the paste has had time to sit, use a scraper or spatula to loosen any stuck-on dirt or grime. Then, use a sponge or cleaning cloth to wipe away the paste and dirt. You can use the spray bottle filled with water.
