Cleaning the oven is often one of the least favorite household chores. However, with this simple lemon hack, you can clean your oven quickly and easily without the need for harsh chemicals. This method not only leaves your oven sparkling but also fills your kitchen with a pleasant, fresh scent. Here’s how to do it:
Why Lemon?
Lemon is a natural degreaser and deodorizer, making it perfect for tackling tough oven grime. The citric acid in lemons helps break down burnt-on food and grease, simplifying your cleaning process.
What You’ll Need
2 lemons
Water
A small oven-safe bowl or dish
A sponge or scrubbing brush
A spatula (optional, for scraping off any stubborn bits)
Step-by-Step Guide
Preheat Your Oven: Start by warming your oven slightly. This helps to soften the grease and grime, making it easier to clean. Set it to a low temperature (about 250°F or 120°C) and turn it off once it’s slightly warm.
Prepare Your Cleaning Solution: While the oven warms up, cut the lemons in half and squeeze their juice into the oven-safe bowl. Add the lemon halves as well. Then, fill the bowl halfway with water.
