Oven shelves can quickly become a nightmare, as food spills and constant heat render them disgustingly grimy. Stubborn baked-on grime means that no amount of scrubbing seems to work, and even leaving them to soak overnight might not get rid of the gunk. But fear not, because a savvy mum, followed by almost 30,000 on Instagram, has the perfect hack to make them sparkle anew. Abi's Cleaning Space took to Instagram stories to reveal her straightforward solution, involving something you probably have tucked away in your home right now. She suggests filling up a sink or bathtub with hot water, adding fabric softener, and then letting the oven shelves soak.
According to her, after some time, the accumulated filth should loosen up, allowing you to effortlessly wipe it off. To demonstrate, Abi shared a snapshot of her own oven racks immersed in the tub, alongside the caption: "Soaking oven racks in hot water and fabric softener in the bath to release all the grime stuck to the racks.". The before-and-after pictures speak volumes, showing the battered trays covered in familiar black spots, transforming to look almost new post-cleanse. And once those racks are dealt with, there's another nifty trick for baking trays that'll only set you back 2p.
Louise Wright said on Facebook: "Don't bin baking trays." A thrifty shopper has shared a genius 2p cleaning hack that saved her baking trays from the bin. She added: "I spend a fortune on baking trays because I buy the cheaper range and they don't last long being marked by tough cooking stains. But I tried the 2p trick going about and it worked. "Rub the baking tray with the 2p and then wash as you would with daily dishes." Enthused by the simple solution, she added: "It works, takes away the burnt marks left from baking/cooking. No more binning and replacing.".
