Oven grime melts away thanks to professional cleaner's no-scrub method
Cleaning ovens can be a tough task, and it's one that many people put off for as long as possible - but a professional cleaner has shared a how to do it quickly and easily
Tackling the kitchen clean can often feel like a never-ending chore, as it typically begins getting messy and grubby again the instant you've completed your latest scrub - and sometimes even before you're done.
Ovens are arguably one of the most demanding areas of your kitchen to tackle. These appliances can gather substantial amounts of dirt and grime that prove tricky to shift, particularly if you haven't given them attention for ages.
Countless people waste far too much time crawling around on all fours, battling away at grease marks when they could simply employ these cleaning tricks from a professional cleaner.
Posting on TikTok, cleaning firm 'TheCleanGroup' has shared a video revealing their top three methods for getting your oven gleaming without needing to spend ages scrubbing at the grease.
"Scrub free oven hacks I learned as a professional cleaner," the cleaner said at the start of the video.
She then proceeded to outline her favourite tricks for dealing with grimy ovens.
1. Dishwasher tablets on greasy seals
Most people might forget that cleaning the seal of your oven will be just as important as cleaning the rest of your oven.
"A dishwasher tablet will do the hard work on your greasy seals," she said, as she was seen putting the seal in a large bowl before pouring over boiling water from the kettle.
She then added a dishwashing tablet and let it dissolve and work its magic on the greasy oven seal.
2. Wrap racks in foil
"Wrapping your [oven] racks in foil and putting it in the oven for 15 minutes at a low heat will soften up all that gunk [on the rack] so you can just wipe it away," she told her followers next. "Absolutely zero scrubbing required."
In the brief video, she can be seen covering her oven rack with kitchen foil before placing it in her oven at 100 degrees. Once it had warmed through, she simply used a tea towel to effortlessly remove any grime from the rack.
3. Hot water in baking tray
"Filling a baking tray with water and lemons. Put it in the oven for 45 minutes at a high heat is the ultimate stackable chore," she said. "You've just cleaned the oven and the baking tray without ever scrubbing a single thing."
When questioned in the comments about the temperature she used on her oven for this, she clarified: "I do it about 225 but it's not written in stone. Just enough to making the water boil! Hope that helps!"
People were blown away by her straightforward tips, with numerous viewers flocking to the comments to share their reactions.
"I have just scrubbed mine for 2 hours... now this video gets on my FYP?!" one viewer commented. Another person wrote: "You make it to be soo easy, I will definitely try out, no scrubbing that it a deal."
