5. Let it sit: Once you’ve applied the mixture, close the oven door and let it sit for a few hours or overnight. This allows the cleaning agents to work on loosening the dirt and stains.
6. Scrubbing and rinsing: After the soaking period, use a sponge or cloth to scrub the interior surfaces of the oven. Pay extra attention to stubborn stains or greasy areas. Rinse the sponge or cloth frequently and continue scrubbing until the surfaces are clean.
7. Wipe down and dry: Use a clean damp cloth or sponge to wipe down the interior of the oven and remove any residue from the cleaning mixture. Afterward, dry the surfaces thoroughly.
8. Clean the oven racks: Take the oven racks that you set aside earlier and clean them using an appropriate method, such as soaking them in warm, soapy water or using a dedicated oven rack cleaner.
It’s important to note that using dishwasher tablets to clean your oven is not a method endorsed by oven manufacturers, and the effectiveness may vary depending on the severity of the oven’s dirt and stains. For heavy grease or burnt-on residue, you may need to use dedicated oven cleaners or other specialized cleaning methods.
Always exercise caution and follow the instructions provided by the oven manufacturer to ensure safe and effective cleaning.
