The 5-Minute Oven Cleaning Hack: Erase Grease and Grime with Aluminum Foil

ADVERTISEMENT

Introduction:
Keeping your oven clean doesn’t have to be a time-consuming and tiring task. If you’re tired of scrubbing away at stubborn grease, there’s a clever, quick, and easy solution. This 5-minute oven cleaning hack uses just one simple material—aluminum foil—to cut down on effort while effectively removing dirt, grease, and grime. It’s an efficient way to maintain a sparkling clean oven without the hassle of harsh chemicals or extensive scrubbing.

Ingredients:

1 large sheet of aluminum foil
Warm water
Dish soap
A soft cloth or sponge
Instructions:

Prepare the foil: Take the aluminum foil and crumble it into a ball that’s about the size of a fist. The crumbled foil will help scrub away grime when used as a tool.
Spray the oven: Spray the interior of the oven, focusing on areas with stubborn grease and grime, with warm water. Add a few drops of dish soap if the grime is particularly tough.
Scrub with foil: Using the aluminum foil ball, gently scrub the dirty areas of the oven. The foil will create friction that helps break down grease without damaging the oven’s surface.
Wipe clean: Once the grease and grime have been scrubbed away, use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe down the surfaces of the oven.
Dry: Allow the oven to air dry or wipe it down with a dry towel to ensure it’s spotless.
Serving and Storage Tips:

Make sure to keep the aluminum foil ball clean for future use by storing it in a sealed container or wrapping it with another layer of foil.
Keep your oven clean regularly to reduce the buildup of dirt and grease, which will make your next cleaning session even quicker.
