Get the oven racks clean again
No matter what type of oven you have, the best way to clean the racks is to remove them completely from the oven and soak them in boiling water with a little dishwashing liquid.

If the racks are already in the bathtub, you can use this time effectively and clean the other parts of the oven. Here's a comprehensive guide to cleaning your oven's dirty glass:

- To clean the inside of your oven's glass door, simply open the door and wipe it with a paper towel.
- Make a cleaning paste by mixing 100g baking soda and 250ml water.
- Wipe up remaining oil and dirt with a damp microfiber cloth dipped in hot dish soap water.
- Coat the inside of your oven's glass door with the baking soda cleaning paste. The paste should remain on the oven door for at least 15-20 minutes.
- To get the oven door clean again, carefully scrape off the burnt-on grease and long-standing dirt with a glass scraper.
- To remove the paste, rinse the microfiber cloth and soak it again in hot dish soap water. To remove the remaining paste from the oven door, fill a spray bottle with vinegar and lightly mist the door.
