The Dishwasher Tablet Trick That Degreases Your Oven in One Pass

Take out all racks and set them aside.

For easier cleaning, soak them in hot, soapy water or use the same dishwasher tablet method in a separate basin.

2. Prepare the Dishwasher Tablet Solution

Fill a large container or oven tray with about 2 cups of hot water.

Drop in 1 dishwasher tablet and allow it to dissolve, creating a mildly soapy, degreasing solution.

3. Apply to Oven Interior

Carefully spread the solution over the greasy areas inside the oven.

For direct application, you can slightly moisten the tablet and rub it on burnt spots.

4. Let It Work

Allow the solution to sit for 15–30 minutes.

The enzymes and surfactants in the tablet will break down hardened grease and burnt residue.

5. Scrub and Wipe

Using a sponge or scrubbing brush, gently scrub the oven interior.

Wipe with a damp cloth to remove loosened grease and residue.

6. Rinse and Dry

Wipe the entire oven with clean water to remove any remaining detergent.

Replace racks and let the oven dry before using.
