Let’s be honest—cleaning the oven is one of those chores we all dread. The baked-on mess, stubborn grease, and endless scrubbing often leave us putting it off. But what if there was an easier, quicker, and chemical-free way to get the job done?
I recently discovered a game-changing hack that has completely transformed the way I clean my oven: steam cleaning. It’s so simple and effective that I’ll never go back to traditional methods. Here’s everything you need to know about it.
What Is Steam Cleaning, and How Does It Work?
Steam cleaning harnesses the power of hot water vapor to break down grease and grime. The process is easy and requires no harsh chemicals:
- Fill a heatproof dish with water (add vinegar for extra cleaning power).
- Heat the oven to produce steam.
- Let the steam loosen the dirt and grease so you can wipe it away—no scrubbing needed!
