Place the dishwasher caps in the soapy water and let them soak for a few minutes. This step helps to soften any residue on the caps and prepares them for effective scrubbing.
Start Scrubbing:
Equip yourself with a scrubbing sponge or cloth and begin scrubbing the interior of the oven. Use the dishwasher caps as a tool to scrape away stubborn, baked-on stains. The curved shape of the caps allows for effective maneuvering, making it easier to reach those hard-to-clean corners.
Tackle Creases and Crevices:
For tight spaces and corners, enlist the help of an old toothbrush. Dip the toothbrush into the soapy water and use it to scrub away residue in areas where the dishwasher caps may not reach easily.
Optional:
Baking Soda and Vinegar For an extra boost of cleaning power, mix baking soda with water to create a paste. Spread the paste on tough stains and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Then, spritz white vinegar over the baking soda, allowing it to foam. The fizzy reaction helps to break down grime, making it easier to wipe away.
Wipe Down the Interior:
Use a clean, damp cloth or sponge to wipe down the interior of the oven, removing any remaining soap or cleaning solution.
