The best way to clean your oven might surprise you.
, I made do with the sink. If you’re lucky enough to have a tub, I’d suggest doing this there—the sink was cramped.“I'd hardly count it as a "trick", but oven cleaner actually does a very good job of cleaning ovens. Whod'a thunk it.”Once the racks were covered, I submerged a handful of dryer sheets , poured in a few tablespoons of dish soap to help break up the food grease, and swirled the water a bit to mix it all in.
Then, I walked away and let the racks soak while I cleaned the rest of the apartment, had some lunch, answered emails, and lounged around on the couch with a book. A few hours and an ice cream later, I headed back to the kitchen, drained the sink, and used the wet dryer sheets to wipe down the racks, one rung at a time—and the built-up grime wiped off easily, no elbow grease needed. I felt like I was in one of those infomercials: The metal racks were clean and silver, the way they were intended.
If you have a few extra dryer sheets lying around, this is an effective way to put them to good use without tossing them. Plus, it’s a hack that requires minimal effort: The dryer sheets literally do the work while you sleep . Next weekend I plan on getting my stovetop grates sparkling clean—while I spend the afternoon at the pool.
