I was fed up of scrubbing my filthy oven but then discovered a 2-step hack that gets rid of baked on grease in 20 mins
A CLEANING enthusiast has revealed her must-try hack for getting rid of baked on grease from oven doors.
Danielle Kimberly wowed homeowners with the trick that transforms ovens within 20 minutes without scrubbing.
Danielle (@danicakesbakes) has over 30,000 followers on TikTok, where she shares her love of baking.
She unexpectedly went viral on the social media app when she switched from posting cakes to sharing a cleaning tip.
She advised against scrubbing grease from oven windows in favour of using a hack she learned on Pinterest.
“Take half a cup of baking soda, more if necessary,” she said.
“Mix in a little water at a time until smooth.
“Cover the oven window with the solution and let it soak for at least 20 minutes.”
Danielle demonstrated how to make the white paste and spread it across the oven door.
She then poured warm water infused with vinegar and slices of lemon to rinse.
The scrubbing side of her sponge was used to remove any stubborn spots.
“Wipe clean with a wet sponge,” she added.
The oven window sparkled like new after she used a paper towel to dry the surface.
Almost 16,000 people liked the video and many saved it to watch again.
Commenters were impressed by the hack and desperate to try it for themselves.
“Seriously, I’ve been scrubbing and scrubbing trying to get this mess off. Thank you,” one person wrote.
“Thank you great tip,” another said.
“Will do this tonight!! Thanks,” a third chimed in.
