Cleaning the oven is a universally dreaded chore—until you discover this simple, nearly hands-off trick. Using a common household item, you can break down stubborn grease and baked-on grime with minimal scrubbing. Here’s your step-by-step guide to a sparkling oven without the elbow grease.
Why This Method Works
Dishwasher tablets are powerhouses of enzymes, degreasing agents, and surfactants designed to dissolve tough food residue and grease. By creating a concentrated paste and letting it sit, these agents penetrate and lift the grime right off the oven’s interior surfaces.

2–3 dishwasher tablets (any standard brand will work)
-
Hot water

A small bowl (metal or glass is best)
