Didn’t Realize You Could Do This! A Clever Trick That Will Change How You Clean
Isn’t it the best feeling when you stumble upon a life hack so clever and simple, you wonder how you ever lived without it? Well, here’s one of those little gems — a trick so easy and effective, most people are shocked they didn’t discover it sooner.
Ready for this? You can clean some of the grimiest spots in your home — like oven racks, stove grates, shower heads, and even your favorite baking sheets — without scrubbing at all. How? With a plastic bag and a splash of ammonia.
Yep. That’s it. Didn’t realize you could do this? Neither did we — until it worked like magic.
🧼 The Trick: The Bag-and-Ammonia Method
This method is wildly popular among cleaning pros and DIYers alike because it breaks down baked-on grease and grime with zero elbow grease. Here’s how to do it:
What You’ll Need:
- 1 gallon-size zip-top bag (or trash bag for larger items)
- About 1/4 cup of household ammonia
- The dirty item you want to clean (oven rack, burner grate, grill pan, etc.)
- Gloves and a well-ventilated area
How to Do It:
- Place the dirty item in the bag — zip-top for small items, or a trash bag for larger pieces.
- Add about 1/4 cup of ammonia into the bag. You don’t need to soak the item — the fumes do the heavy lifting.
- Seal the bag tightly and let it sit overnight, preferably outdoors or in a garage (because the smell is strong).
- The next day, open the bag carefully, and rinse or wipe the item clean. Most grime will slide right off!
Why It Works
Ammonia’s powerful fumes break down tough, baked-on grease and food residue. Instead of scrubbing for hours, you let chemistry do the work while you sleep.
