From Greasy to Gleaming: Transform Your Oven with This Dishwasher Tablet Trick

9.Cleaning removable parts and oven racks

Remember the racks and other removable components even if the main cavity of your oven has changed. The dishwasher tablet technique can help these elements equally. Dissolve one or two dishwasher tablets in warm water in your sink or a big basin first. Making sure the oven racks and any other removable components are entirely covered, submerge them in this solution. For especially dirty racks, let them soak for at least one hour—or perhaps overnight. The same potent cleaning solutions that worked miracles in your oven will be breaking away the grease and filth on these parts. Wipe the racks with a non-abrasive sponge or towel following soaking. Most of the filth will probably come off easily, but for tough stains a light scrub with a soft-bristled brush might help. To eliminate all traces of the cleaning solution, completely rinse the racks with fresh water. Use a crushed dishwasher tablet and a little water to make a paste for any last stubborn areas. Direct this paste to the trouble spots, let it sit for a few minutes, then wash and rinse. Once clean, totally dry the racks and other components either by air drying or with a fresh towel. Check them one last time to be sure no spots were missed before returning them to your now-sparkling oven. This complete cleaning of every component guarantees that your oven—not only the main cavity—is restored to its original splendour.
