Thankfully, there seems to be an easier way to remove old bits of food and grease from your oven that will leave it sparkling.

Fans of cleaning guru Mrs Hinch have shared their go to methods for cleaning this area of the appliance, reports Express.

Taking to Facebook page dedicated to Mrs Hinch cleaning tips, one woman asked for advice on how to clean her oven door.

She said: "How do I clean my oven door?"

Mrs Hinch fans were quick to comment on ways to tackle the task, as the post received over 100 comments.

Of all the comments, the most popular was to use a wet dishwasher tablet.

Dishwasher tablets were even dubbed as a "miracle" product when cleaning ovens by one cleaning fanatic.

One commenter said: "After years of using strong chemical cleaners to clean my oven door, I was suggested to use a dishwasher tablet and it has changed my life.

"I am amazed that all it takes to remove stubborn stains from my oven is a regular dishwasher tablet. It's honestly a miracle cleaner, you have to try it.

"All you have to do is wet a dishwasher tablet and use it to lightly scrub the glass. Make sure to keep dipping the tablet in water to keep it moist so it doesn't scratch the glass."

Another replied: "Yes, I totally agree! It gets the job done so well and its so cheap. A box of dishwasher tablets lasts me ages."

A third wrote: "Wet a dishwasher tablet and rub it all over and wipe with wet cloth."

"Cheap dishwasher tablet and use like a pumice stone - it's a 10 minute job", said a fourth.

They advised: "Wet a dishwasher tablet, rub on oven door and it takes all the little burnt bits off."

Another added: "Scouring can damage the integrity of the glass so instead use a wet dishwasher tablet. It works a treat."

Dishwasher tablets are made of concentrated dishwasher detergent and promise to cut through tough grease and leave your dishes sparkling.

It makes sense that those powerful cleaning agents work on oven grease and food stains as well, especially since the tablets promise to remove baked-on food, and stains in the oven are definitely baked-on.

Plus, the hard powder tablets have an abrasive surface that helps to scour away those stuck-on stains but is gentle enough not to scratch the oven glass.
