For a Deeper Clean: If your oven is particularly dirty, mix a few tablespoons of baking soda with water to create a thick paste. Apply this paste to tough stains before using the dishwasher tablet solution. The baking soda will help lift stubborn grime.
For Self-Cleaning Ovens: If you have a self-cleaning oven, you can still use the dishwasher tablet method to spot-clean areas that didn’t get fully cleaned during the self-cleaning cycle. Just focus on the areas with the most build-up.
For Glass Oven Doors: If your oven door has a glass surface that’s smudged or greasy, apply the dishwasher tablet solution with a microfiber cloth for a streak-free shine. Avoid using abrasive tools to prevent scratching the glass.
