Cleaning the oven is a chore that many dread, but one savvy woman has taken to social media to share her ingenious cleaning hack that promises to make the task a breeze.
The clever lady, known as Auri, posted her tip on TikTok under the username @aurikatariina, and it quickly spread to Instagram, causing quite the stir among cleaning enthusiasts.
In her viral video, Auri begins with a bold statement: “This hack will change your life.”
She proceeds to demonstrate by spraying oven cleaner on the grimy surface before covering it with cling film. After leaving it for 24 hours, she reveals that the stains should have ‘melted away’.
For the finishing touches, Auri suggests using a Scour Daddy for scrubbing, which she finds ‘so satisfying’. Once scrubbed, simply wipe it down, apply some stove polisher, and voila a sparkling clean oven.
The clip made its way onto Instagram, where it was hailed as “The best cleaning hack ever”, amassing thousands of likes and enthusiastic comments.
One viewer praised the results saying, “It turned out wonderful,” while others queried about the specific products used. Some followers responded to these queries by pointing out that any standard oven cleaner available in stores should do the trick.
This hack has surfaced hot on the heels of another oven cleaning revelation that went viral earlier this week, specifically aimed at tackling the tough grime and grease on oven glass.
Erin, the natural cleaning expert and creator of Lemons Lavender and Laundry, has a simple solution for tackling the dreaded oven clean just use baking soda.
Baking soda’s alkaline nature means its high pH can tackle acidic grime such as grease or burnt-on food, and its mild abrasiveness allows it to scrub away dirt without harming surfaces.
Erin explained: “While using baking soda takes a little more time and effort than using an oven cleaner, it certainly does the job; and without harmful chemicals.”
