Oven cleaning often demands heaps of effort, and even then, achieving that gleaming finish is still a challenge.
Those pesky spills and dropped bits of food can get seared onto your oven’s interior.
Worse still, many standard oven cleaning products pack a toxic punch, loaded with chemicals that are hazardous to inhale.
Lucky, Kelly who goes by @mrs.ds.cleaning.reviews on Instagram, has shared her “easy way to make your oven shine” – and it’s all-natural.
Kelly claims that it’s lemons and baking soda that make this cleaning task so “easy”.
She added in the comments section that “it will change the way you clean your oven from now on”.
Sharing a video of the oven cleaning hack, Kelly instructed: “Place fresh lemons in a heatproof bowl and place in the oven for 20 minutes.
“While the oven is warm, sprinkle on some baking soda and use the lemon water (once cooled down) to clean inside your oven and glass door.”
The cleaning pro explained that it’s the citric acid from the lemons that helps “cut through grease” and the baking soda “makes scrubbing easy”.
Lemons also contain di-limonene in their rinds that soften the grime for easier cleaning.
Taking to the comments section, one user asked how hot the oven needs to be to which Kelly replied: “I put mine on at 170 degrees for 20 minutes.”
