Ovens can be an absolute nightmare to clean and over the years those stubborn brown stains can completely obscure the view of your food cooking. It takes a lot of time and energy to keep the oven clean, which leads to many people simply giving up.
But fans of cleaning guru Mrs Hinch have suggested some simple ways to get your oven sparkling again, reports The Mirror. Taking to the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips page, one woman asked followers of the page how to clean oven glass, posting a photo of the door, covered in dark brown stains.
She wrote: "How do I get this off the oven door, it's caked-on?" Most people would reach for the scourer to scrub the stains off the glass, but this should be avoided as it can leave nasty scratches on the surface, meaning it'll look unsightly once it has been cleaned properly.
Instead, multiple Mrs Hinch fans suggested using another kitchen staple - a dishwasher tablet. Someone wrote: "Use a hard dishwasher tablet (not a liquid pod) and rub it on. It will come off so easily."
Another agreed, commenting: "Dishwasher tablet, covered by a hot wet cloth, no pressure needed. Go round in circles and come back, it'll be done in no time."
A cleaning guru warned against using something too abrasive to wipe the surface with though, writing: "Don't use anything abrasive. It can cause tiny little cuts in the glass and could shatter when it gets hot. Rubbing it off with a dishwasher tablet is the best thing to do."
"Buy a cheap dishwasher tablet, dip it in water then rub. It only takes two minutes, no hassle at all", a Facebook user suggested. Asda Just Essentials dishwasher tablets can be bought for £1.34 for 30 tablets, working out at 4.5p an oven clean.
