As you already know, dishwasher tablets act as a cleaner and degreaser for all kitchen utensils. But Grandma’s methods suggest other unexpected uses for these tablets. In this article we are going to see how impressive they are at removing dirt from the oven.

While there are baking soda tips for cleaning ovens, dishwasher tablets are another way to degrease, clean and shine. And for good reason, many skincare enthusiasts use a recipe based on this unusual cleaning ingredient. There she is.
How to clean your oven with a dishwasher tablet?
