Cleaning a baking sheet is not an easy task. We often use a scouring pad, but it's quite risky—we can easily scratch it, leading to faster wear and damage. On the other hand, store-bought chemical products are expensive and often ineffective. Fortunately, there are some home methods.

How to clean a baking sheet? There is a very simple way to get rid of grime and burnt residue. All you need is vinegar and potassium bitartrate (E336), also known as cream of tartar. This substance, which is also found in baking powder, is readily available in online stores.
Mix both ingredients into a thick paste. Then spread it over the baking sheet you want to clean and wait for the paste to solidify. Afterwards, thoroughly wash the surface with a sponge soaked in warm water and rinse the baking sheet.

Another effective baking sheet cleaning method is baking soda and salt. How to do it? First, rinse the baking sheet with water and dry it, then sprinkle it with baking soda and salt. Next, place it in the oven preheated to 392 degrees Fahrenheit for half an hour. This will dissolve even the most stubborn grime. Finally, once the baking sheet has cooled, just wash it using dish soap.
You can also make a paste with baking soda and a dissolved dishwasher tablet. Rub it onto a slightly warm oven surface and leave it for at least 30 minutes. Finally, wipe the baking sheet with a microfiber cloth.
