Lately, more and more people are discovering simple yet effective ways to maintain cleanliness at home using unconventional everyday products. 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?

Cleaning the oven with a dishwasher tablet isn't about tossing it inside and waiting for a miracle—it's about a refined method. Start by emptying all the elements in the oven. Once it's empty, proceed to the next steps.

Prepare an oven-safe dish that can hold about 1 quart of water. Pour about 5 cups of water into the dish, then add a dishwasher tablet. Place the prepared solution in the oven, set the temperature to 212 degrees Fahrenheit, and leave it for about 2 hours. You don't have to wait for the oven to heat up—just place the dish with the tablet and water inside, turn on the heat, and monitor the time.

After 2 hours, 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 you will be surprised by the immediate results.

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's worth spending time 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 minimize.
