Oven cleaning is one of those mammoth chores that can seem to take all day, with the hardest part often being the glass door.
Your oven door goes through a lot. The frequent opening and closing, the spilt sauces, and the accidental touch with oily hands – it’s a battleground of stains and smudges.
The interior face of the oven door witnesses the brunt of baking and roasting. It gets splashed with sauces, coated with grease, and often ends up displaying a mosaic of baked-on food.
Instead of reaching for chemical-filled oven cleaning solutions or the white vinegar and baking soda combination, one cleaning enthusiast recommended using a kitchen scrap item.
Taking to her Instagram page @tanyahomeinspo, Tanya showed viewers how to clean ovens with orange peels.
She claimed that oven grease can be “easily” tackled when combining water with orange peels.
To do so, add water and orange peels to an oven-proof dish and put it in the oven for 20 minutes.
Tanya explained: “The heat and the ingredient work to lift off all of the grease in your oven and it leaves it smelling so fresh.”
Tanya replied to the comments saying “defiantly” and even noted that the orange peels can be “reused” multiple times.

One user asked what temperature the oven should be on with this hack. Tanya replied: “The lowest temperature is fine for 20 minutes as long as it gets hot.”
