- Cleaning oven racks can be one of the most dreaded chores in the kitchen. Between the grease buildup, baked-on food, and stubborn stains, getting those metal racks shiny again can feel like an impossible task. But my aunt, a cleaning enthusiast, swears by one simple trick that makes cleaning oven racks practically effortless. After trying it myself, I had to share it with others who dread this job as much as I used to. Here’s how it works.
The Magic Formula: Dryer Sheets and Dish Soap
The secret weapon in my aunt’s cleaning arsenal is one you might already have in your laundry room—dryer sheets! Yes, those seemingly delicate, lightly scented sheets you toss into the dryer to soften your clothes have hidden cleaning power. Paired with dish soap and hot water, they create the perfect combination for removing grease and grime from oven racks.
What You’ll Need:
Dryer sheets (at least 5-10, depending on the size of the racks)
Dish soap (preferably a grease-fighting one)
A bathtub or large sink (large enough to submerge the racks)
Hot water
A sponge or soft scrubber (optional for tougher stains)
How It Works:
The magic behind dryer sheets lies in their fabric softening agents and anti-static properties. These ingredients work wonders in loosening tough, stuck-on food and grime from the metal surfaces of your oven racks. The hot water softens the dried-on residue, while the chemicals in the dryer sheets do the heavy lifting. The added dish soap cuts through grease, making the entire process practically effortless.
