Mum's incredible £1.99 cleaning hack makes greasy ovens sparkle again

Scots clean freaks are racing to pick up an item costing £1.99 that's being used as a brilliant oven cleaner.

A mum has shared a shot video of how she gets her greasy oven sparkling again with a window scraper.

Usually used for getting early-morning frost off a car windscreen, the cheap and nifty car accessory can also be used for this kitchen appliance.

The mum shared her video online which has since gone viral, the Mirror reports.

The cleaning supremo shared helpful before and after pictures onto the popular Hinch Army Cleaning Tips Facebook group.

A video showed the fulfilling work as the caked-on grease and dirt is swiped from the glass oven door in minutes.

The glass scraper was picked up on eBay for just £3.95 but savvy shoppers pointed out it can be bought cheaper on Amazon.

The woman wrote: "Warning - disgusting oven alert!!!

"I never get round to cleaning it because life’s just to busy but I got a Glass scraper from eBay and WOW !!!! 5 mins later I have a clean door !

"Used the scraper then pink stuff and a metal scrubber for the last few marks ! No back ache from scrubbing it all day either £3.95 well spent if you ask me!"

Usually window scrapers are used for cars rather than ovens (Facebook)

Available for £1.99 on Amazon, the DIY miracle tool is described as for use in removing excess paint and scraping stickers or gluey materials from windows.

But now it can add oven cleaning to its list of uses.

Rushing to praise the homely hack, one person commented: "I would be lost without my scraper."

Another added: "Wow amazing! I could literally watch that video all day so relaxing."

Another simply wrote: "Thanks for the tip".

On Amazon, the product description for the Stanley scraper reads: "The Stanley 5930 window scraper uses a standard 1992 trimming knife blade to scrape excess paint from window panes.

"With guard fitted it makes a good windscreen ice scraper."

The item uses a blade so would be unsuitable for children to use.
