Cleaning the oven of grease and grime can be quite a challenge, especially when using standard cleaning products.
However, there's a natural hack that can help you tackle this effortlessly – lemon, writes Express.
Why is lemon the perfect cleaning agent?
Lemon contains citric acid, which effectively dissolves grease, removes stubborn stains, and eliminates bacteria. It serves as an eco-friendly alternative to chemical cleaners, not only cleaning surfaces but also leaving a pleasant fresh scent.
How to prepare a cleaning solution for the oven?
To create a natural cleaner, you'll need just three ingredients:
- 1 cup of water
- 1 cup of white vinegar
- Several drops of lemon essential oil
Application method:
- Combine all the ingredients.
- Apply the solution to the dirty oven surface.
- For tough stains, add baking soda, then treat the area with the mixture.
- Let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe with a cloth.
This method not only restores the oven's cleanliness but also helps prevent potential kitchen fires that can occur due to grease buildup.
Additional hack
If you don't have lemon essential oil, you can use a fresh lemon. Simply cut it in half, squeeze the juice into the water and vinegar mixture, and wipe the surfaces with the lemon half.
Thus, lemon is not only a useful product but also a powerful natural cleaner that should be kept in the kitchen.
