Instructions
- Place 1–2 dishwasher tablets in a metal bowl, pour warm water over them, and let them dissolve. Optionally mash gently with a fork for faster dissolving.
- Remove oven racks and put on protective gloves.
- Dip a sponge into the solution and lightly spread it across the oven surface without scrubbing.
- Soak paper towels in the mixture and place them over dirty areas to keep the cleaner in contact with grease.
- Place damp towels on the oven door to help loosen stubborn stains.
- Let the mixture sit for about 30 minutes.
- Remove paper towels, wipe with a clean sponge, rinse with water, and dry with a cloth.
- Turn the oven to high heat for a short time to remove any remaining residue.

Notes
Use gloves as cleaning chemicals can irritate skin. Always wipe thoroughly before turning the oven on. Do not mix with bleach or other cleaners. Test on a small area first. This method is best for grease buildup and light to moderate dirt; extremely burnt residue may require multiple rounds.
