A dirty oven rack can cause great frustration to anyone who has tried to clean it thoroughly. Detergents, intense scrubbing, and dirty hands are all too familiar. Fortunately, there's a simple and less obvious method to tackle this problem—all you need is a bin bag and a few common products.
A dirty rack will no longer be a problem
To effectively clean the rack, you will need:
- baking soda,
- a dishwasher tablet,
- washing-up liquid,
- some warm water,
- a large bin bag.
How to prepare the cleaning solution
First, dissolve a dishwasher tablet in warm water in a bowl. Then, add four tablespoons of baking soda to the solution. Mix everything until you achieve a paste-like consistency, which will become our cleaning agent.
How to clean the oven rack?
After preparing the cleaning agent, it's time to get to work. Place the oven rack into the large bin bag. Pour the prepared paste inside, ensuring that it covers all the crevices of the rack. Then seal the bag and leave the rack inside overnight. After this time, take it out, rinse it thoroughly under running water, and wipe it with a cloth soaked in washing-up liquid. This will make the rack shine like new.
Using this trick allows you to avoid the tedious scrubbing of the rack, and the results will surely surprise you. Regularly remove larger stains to keep your oven and its accessories in the best condition. This way, our kitchen will be clean and ready for any culinary challenge, not just during the holidays.
