Tired of dirty oven racks? Check out this easy no-scrub trick for cleaning oven racks. You can clean oven racks without a bunch of scrubbing using ammonia!
I have always known an easy tip for cleaning an oven, but until recently had no way of cleaning oven racks easily.
I would always remove the racks while I was cleaning the oven and then scrub them down.
Usually, I wouldn’t get them really clean just the top layer of grime. I had heard of soaking them in the bathtub with a dryer sheet, which kind of grossed me out.
So I was thrilled when a reader told me about this easy way to clean oven racks.
This simple tip is easy and doesn’t require a lot of scrubbing. After you soak them you can wipe them down and most of the grime and food just falls right off.
If you want to get your oven racks looking clean and shiny check out this simple trick for cleaning oven racks with ammonia.
To clean oven racks without scrubbing you will need a few things.
Ingredients:
- Trash Bags
- ammonia
- oven racks
- Mr. Clean
You will need a couple of trash bags large enough for your oven racks and some ammonia.
You can see how dirty my oven racks were, to begin with.
Getting Started Cleaning The Oven Racks
Place your oven racks in the trash bags being careful not to rip or tear the trash bags. I used two trash bags just to make sure I didn’t have any spills or leaks.
I recommend using some pretty sturdy trash bags so you don’t have problems with leaks or tears.
Then, in a well-ventilated area pour some ammonia into the trash bags. I did it in my garage but you can also do it outside.
You don’t need to cover the racks, just add about 1-2 cups of ammonia. The fumes from the ammonia are what actually does the cleaning of the oven racks.
*Note: I had a reader comment that you can also put a small bowl in the trash bag full of ammonia so it doesn’t leak and this has worked great.
Once you have the ammonia added to the trash bags then you will want to seal up the trash bags. You want to make sure that the ammonia fumes aren’t leaking out of the trash bag.
I just used some packing tape to seal them up so they were fairly air-tight.
