I don’t even think about scrubbing my dirty oven anymore: a friend taught me this trick and now it’s as good as new, simply!

The Problem With Conventional Oven Cleaners

Most commercial oven cleaners rely on strong chemicals to break down grease. While they can be effective, they also come with serious downsides.

Common Complaints

• Eye-watering fumes
• Skin irritation
• Strong chemical smells
• Long ventilation times
• Safety concerns around pets and children

Some products even warn against breathing the vapors or touching surfaces without gloves. That alone is enough to make many people avoid cleaning altogether.

The Moment Everything Changed

One afternoon, while complaining about my oven to a friend, she laughed and said:

“Why are you scrubbing it? I never scrub mine anymore.”

Naturally, I thought she was joking.

Then she explained her method—simple, affordable, and surprisingly gentle. I was skeptical, but desperate enough to try anything.

What happened next honestly shocked me.
