Cleaning the oven is one of the hardest and most tedious household tasks. That's why it's worth knowing how to make it easier. There is a trick using lemons that will help you effortlessly get rid of all the dirt.

Cleaning the oven is not usually done regularly. If you clean its inner walls after every use, you can call yourself a true master. However, due to high temperatures, dirt and grease typically accumulate, drying out and sticking. And there's your problem.

Lemon as a natural cleaning agent

That’s exactly why this particular kitchen appliance is the hardest to clean. If you're not a fan of scrubbing with a sponge and using store-bought chemical products, you should try a natural, effective method that requires almost no effort.

For this trick, you need only three lemons. It's worth noting that lemon juice often outperforms store-bought detergents. It has antibacterial and disinfecting properties, removes dirt, polishes, whitens, and absorbs bad odors.

How to clean the oven?

How do you clean the oven? Simply take an ovenproof dish and pour some water into it, then add the juice of three squeezed lemons. The halves of these tart fruits, or rather the rinds, should also be placed in the dish. The dish should then go into the oven preheated to 300 degrees Fahrenheit for an hour. After this time, turn off the appliance and let it cool down.

It will likely turn out that the oven has cleaned itself, but if you still see dirt, take a cloth or sponge, dip it in the lemon water, and manually remove the grease and burnt food residues.
