The Natural Solution
You don’t need strong chemicals to tackle baked-on grease. The secret ingredient is something you probably use in your kitchen every day: lemon. Lemons contain natural acids that break down grime and lift away grease without damaging the surface of your oven. It’s safe, quick, and surprisingly powerful. Forget spending money on special cleaning products. One lemon and a bit of water can do the job beautifully.
Step-by-Step Method
- Slice two or three lemons in half and squeeze the juice into an oven-safe bowl or dish.
- Drop the squeezed halves into the same dish and add enough water to fill it halfway.
- Place the bowl on the middle rack of your oven.
- Set the temperature to about 200°C and let it heat for roughly 30 to 40 minutes.
- Turn the oven off and allow it to cool for a few minutes. The steam will have loosened grease and residue from the sides and door.
- Wipe everything with a soft cloth or sponge. The dirt will come away easily, revealing a clean, shiny surface underneath.
As an added bonus, the fresh citrus scent will fill your kitchen and replace any unpleasant odors. This gentle, natural cleaning method keeps your oven looking great and saves time and effort. Once you try it, you’ll never go back to chemical sprays again.
