While cleaning the tracks of your sliding doors is no doubt difficult, another arduous cleaning task that most homeowners no doubt dread is cleaning the oven.

However, another simple yet remarkably effective cleaning hack recently took the internet by storm, leaving homeowners in awe of its astonishing results.

With just one simple ingredient and minimal effort, the revolutionary method is transforming dirty ovens into sparkling, like-new appliances.

In a video shared to TikTok, content creator Yagmur ingeniously employed a sliced lemon and a bowl of water to tackle the stubborn grime within an oven.

The process begins with Yagmur placing a sliced lemon into a generous bowl of water. With the oven switched on, she carefully positions the bowl inside the grimy appliance, allowing the lemon-infused water to work its magic.

After a mere 20 minutes, Yagmur removes the bowl from the oven and proceeds to transform the lemon water into a powerful cleaning agent. Utilising a microfiber cloth soaked in the lemon water, she delicately wipes down the oven’s surfaces.

Remarkably, the results are instantaneous. The grime on both the oven door and interior effortlessly lifts away, with the microfiber cloth effectively collecting the remnants of old grease.

Please note: It is essential to exercise caution when attempting any cleaning method involving electrical appliances. Always ensure the oven is switched off and follow proper safety protocols to minimise any risks.
