Keeping the oven clean is a significant challenge that is not easy to tackle. Despite regular cleaning, the oven's interior will sooner or later require thorough cleaning. Fortunately, there is one simple method that significantly eases this task.

Lately, more and more people are discovering simple yet effective ways to maintain cleanliness at home, using everyday products in unconventional ways. One such trick is placing a dishwasher tablet in the oven. While this may sound unusual, these tablets contain strong cleaning agents that can effectively remove stubborn dirt and grease that accumulate on the oven walls. This way, your home oven can shine clean without using expensive chemical agents.

How to clean the oven easily?

How to clean the oven with a dishwasher tablet? It's not about tossing it inside the oven and waiting for a miracle, but about a refined method. Cleaning the oven with a dishwasher tablet starts with emptying its interior of all elements. When the oven is empty, proceed to the next steps.

Prepare an oven-safe dish that can hold about 1 litre of water. If you have such a dish, pour about 1.2 litres of water into it, and then add a dishwasher tablet. Place the prepared solution in the oven, set the temperature to 100 degrees Celsius, and leave it for about 2 hours. You don't have to wait for the oven to heat up – place the dish with the tablet and water, turn on the heat, and monitor the time.

After this time, remove the dish with the water and dissolved tablet, and then wipe off the remaining dirt in the oven. The solution that spent 2 hours inside should handle most of the grime. Wipe the oven interior with a dry and soft cloth, such as a paper towel or a cotton cloth, and the effect will immediately surprise you.

How often should you clean the oven with a dishwasher tablet?

When cleaning the oven, remember regularity. The best results come from the systematic use of this method. Therefore, it is worth refreshing the oven once a month if you use it often or once every two months if you use it less frequently. This is an excellent way to keep the oven clean and maintain its new look, as well as solve the problem of persistent dirt that you want to minimise.
