This natural cleaning combination helps you tackle the toughest stains without resorting to chemical cleaners.
Cleaning the Oven Racks
Oven racks can accumulate a lot of grease and grime, making them challenging to clean. However, with the right approach, you can easily restore them to their original condition.
Prepare a Cleaning Solution: Fill a sink or large bowl with hot water and add a cup of lemon juice. The acidity of the lemon juice will help dissolve the grease.
Soak the Racks: Place the oven racks in the water and let them soak for at least 15 minutes. This will help loosen the dirt.
Scrub the Racks: Use a steel wool pad to scrub away any remaining grease or food residue. Rinse thoroughly with water once done.
Dry and Reinstall: Allow the racks to dry completely before placing them back in the oven.
Regularly cleaning the oven racks every time you notice a buildup will help prevent grease from accumulating, making the cleaning process much quicker and easier.
Additional Tips for a Clean Oven
Regular Maintenance: Clean your oven frequently, at least once a month, to prevent grease and grime buildup. This way, the cleaning process will be much easier each time.
Use a Liner: Place a liner at the bottom of your oven to catch drips and spills, making it easier to clean up after cooking.
Wipe Spills Immediately: If you notice a spill in the oven, wipe it up as soon as the oven cools down to prevent it from hardening and becoming more difficult to remove.
