3. Use the Dishwasher “Tongs” to Clean
Wrap a damp microfiber cloth or soft scrubber around the tongs from your dishwasher (or regular metal kitchen tongs), securing it with a rubber band if needed.
Use the “gripped” end like a long-handled cleaning tool to scrub the walls and corners of the oven without straining or getting your hands dirty. These “tongs” help reach:
- The back of the oven
- Tight side panels
- Under the racks or railings
4. Spray Vinegar
Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar and spritz it over the areas where baking soda was applied. It will fizz and bubble, helping to lift grime.
Use the cloth-wrapped tongs again to wipe everything down.
5. Final Rinse
Rinse the cloth and use clean water to wipe down any residue left in the oven.
💡 Bonus Tip: Use Dishwasher Racks to Soak Oven Racks
If your oven racks are removable, soak them in your bathtub with hot water and a dishwasher tablet for a few hours. Rinse and scrub with a sponge—they’ll shine like new!
🧡 Why This Works
- Reduces effort and mess: You don’t have to crawl into the oven.
- Reaches tough spots: Perfect for built-in ovens with tight interiors.
- Reuses household tools: No need to buy expensive specialty cleaners.
