Dishwasher detergents are formulated to break down food particles and grease. When a dishwasher tablet is dissolved in hot water, it creates a concentrated cleaning solution that can help loosen grime.
The hot water is just as important as the tablet. Heat and moisture help soften hardened residue, making it easier to wipe away.
Think of it as giving the oven grime time to loosen before you start scrubbing.
What You’ll Need

You’ll need:
1 dishwasher tablet
A heat-resistant bowl or container
Hot water
Rubber gloves
A sponge or microfiber cloth
A non-abrasive scrubber for stubborn areas
Clean water for rinsing
Several dry towels
For particularly dirty ovens, you may need more than one round of cleaning.
