Run an empty wash cycle, allowing the dishwasher detergent tablets to thoroughly clean the equipment. This process also helps remove limescale and detergent residue.
Now let’s move on to the oven rack, which can become a nightmare to clean due to caked-on food and grease.
OVEN RACK CLEANING: THE CHALLENGE
The oven rack is essential for cooking but can get dirty. While commercial cleaners often fall short, there is a quick and more natural method to degrease your rack surprisingly well.
QUICK CLEANING SOLUTION
You’ll need a large garbage bag that fits over your oven rack and dishwasher detergent or a laundry detergent tablet as a replacement.
Prepare a solution with the detergent and warm water in a bowl. Make sure the water isn’t too hot to avoid damaging the bag. If necessary, help the tablet dissolve with a fork.
Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of baking soda to the solution to create a powerful grease-cutting agent. Pour this mixture into the bag, making sure it’s not too thick and that the bag remains intact.
Seal the bag tightly to prevent leaks. Place it with the holder inside, allowing the solution to work its magic on grease and grime.
