No need to scrub, put the oven rack in a bag: it will be as good as new again

Wipe clean — no scrubbing needed!

✨ Why This Works

Both dishwasher detergent and ammonia are powerful degreasers. When enclosed in a sealed bag, their fumes and soapy mixture have time to break down baked-on grease and carbon deposits, softening them to the point where they rinse right off.

🧽 Extra Tips for Sparkling Racks

• Line the bottom of your oven with foil or a spill mat to reduce messes in the future.
• For minor build-up, soaking in the bathtub with laundry detergent also works in a pinch.
• Avoid using abrasive scouring pads — they can scratch the finish on your racks.

🙌 The Results? Like New Again!

Once you pull your oven racks from the bag, you’ll be amazed. No more brown gunk, no more endless scrubbing — just shiny, like-new racks ready for your next roast, bake, or broil.

This is one of those cleaning tricks that feels like a life upgrade. It’s easy, budget-friendly, and wildly effective.

🏠 Final Thoughts

If you’ve been putting off cleaning your oven racks because of the mess and effort — now you don’t have to. With just a plastic bag and the right cleaner, you can restore your racks to sparkling condition without lifting a finger (okay, maybe just one or two).
