If you’re someone who appreciates a tidy home yet dreads the task of oven cleaning, you’re not alone. The oven, being a workhorse in many kitchens, often accumulates grime and grease that can seem daunting to remove. While the self-clean feature on many ovens offers some relief, it sometimes falls short of a thorough clean. However, there’s a hack shared by Juggling Act Mama that promises to transform this daunting chore into a manageable task, ensuring your oven, including its window, shines with minimal effort.
Here’s how to achieve a sparkling clean oven:
Preheat Preparation: Begin by preheating your oven to 150 degrees Fahrenheit or its lowest setting. Meanwhile, boil some water.
Ammonia and Water Placement: After preheating, turn off the oven. Place one cup of ammonia into an oven-safe bowl and set it on the top rack. Then, place a bowl of the boiled water on the bottom rack. Close the oven door and leave both inside overnight. This setup will work to loosen the buildup of grease and grime.
Morning Steps:
The following morning, carefully remove both bowls from the oven. Set aside the ammonia for later use and remove the oven racks. Leave the oven door open for about 15 minutes to air out.
Creating the Cleaning Solution: In the bowl of ammonia, add a couple of teaspoons of liquid dish soap and four cups of warm water to dilute the ammonia.
