Cleaning the oven is a task that no one really wants to do, isn\u2019t it? We\u2019re always looking for the best and easiest ways to clean – so, can you clean an oven with a dishwasher tablet? It turns out this is actually a very good way of doing it! We\u2019re going to find out the best ways to clean your oven, using this slightly surprising method.<\/p>\n

Can You Clean An Oven With A Dishwasher Tablet?<\/h2>\n

The short and easy answer is yes, you can – and in fact it is a great way to clean out even the dirtiest oven!<\/p>\n

Dishwasher tablets contain some really useful<\/a> cleaning enzymes, that are designed to cut through grease and other nasties that might find their way into your oven.<\/p>\n

This is a really good way to clean an oven, and it removes the need for expensive oven cleaners, lots of scrubbing, and harsh chemicals.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Take a bowl of warm water, and a couple of dishwasher tablets (you\u2019ll want the pressed powder ones, not the gel pods).<\/li>\n
  2. Dip the tablet in the water for long enough that it soaks up some liquid, but not too long so that it starts to crumble.<\/li>\n
  3. Use the tablet like a sponge, and gently scrub it along the areas you want to clean – use a circular motion to get to all the areas.<\/li>\n
  4. Wipe away any residue with a damp cloth, and repeat if you can still see dirty patches.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This technique works especially well on the glass of the oven door, but it will also help to clean out the rest of your oven.<\/p>\n

    Why Put A Dishwasher Tablet In Your Oven Overnight?<\/h2>\n

    You absolutely can put a dishwasher tablet in your oven, and you can leave it in there overnight.<\/p>\n

    However, without some input from you, it won\u2019t magically clean your oven all by itself!<\/p>\n

    You will have to put in some effort, and a little bit of elbow grease, to help your dishwasher tablets to clean your oven.<\/p>\n

    It\u2019s a super easy oven cleaning hack; the concentrated dishwashing properties of dishwashing tablets WILL clean your oven\u2026 But it also requires input from you.<\/p>\n

    Slightly dampen the dishwashing tablet, and use it as if you were using a sponge – the cleaning properties will cut through the grease and grime of your oven.<\/p>\n

    This is a much easier method than using soap and a sponge – and a cheaper option than getting a professional in to clean your oven.<\/p>\n

    Can I Use Dish Detergent To Clean Oven?<\/h2>\n

    Dish detergent is a great way to clean your oven. This stuff is designed to cut through grease and baked on food, so it\u2019s a great option!<\/p>\n

    If you want to use dish detergent to clean your oven, there are better and worse ways to do it. Let\u2019s look at the best ways:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Start by scraping off the worst baked on parts with a knife (be careful to not damage the actual oven walls as you do this).<\/li>\n
    2. Next, wet a sponge and squeeze a few drops of dish detergent onto the scrubber side of it.<\/li>\n
    3. Wipe the walls and base of the oven with this mixture, scrubbing gently as you do so.<\/li>\n
    4. Let the mixture soak in for a few minutes, to allow the detergent to do its job (you can add a little more water to harder baked-on areas).<\/li>\n
    5. Scrub hard at the areas that have the most caked on food particles, until you see them start to lift off.<\/li>\n
    6. Rinse the area with a clean sponge and some fresh water.<\/li>\n
    7. Repeat the process until your oven is as shiny and clean as the day you first got it!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
