Woman's clever oven cleaning hack means she only needs to tackle it 'once a year'

As Christmas Day has now been and gone, the task of scrubbing the kitchen clean after the major festivities could be on your to-do list.

But one task that is often left undone for far too long is cleaning the oven which can be the most difficult job in the kitchen.

However, one woman could have the answer to all your prayers as she has come up with an ingenious hack to make sure your oven is left sparkling - and she only has to clean it once a year.

The neat tip only involves a few household items and can be all sorted in just a couple of hours.

TikTok user Mac who shares videos under the username @healthylittlepeach recently revealed the homemade oven cleaning solution which has seen huge praise online.

In the clip shared with her 354,000 followers, Mac said: "I'm not going to lie to you all. I'm definitely the type of girl who cleans her oven once a year but when I clean it I've got to clean it."

She then reveals the ingredients for her solution which avoids any nasty chemicals. The miracle mix contains just half a cup of washing up liquid, one and a half cups of baking soda and three quarters of a cup of white vinegar.

The best bit is this solution can be completely eco-friendly if you look out for a washing up liquid with natural ingredients, The Express reports.

When mixed together the ingredients combine to make a white paste which can work wonders on those grimy oven racks.

Mac said: "I remove the oven rack and add it to a hot tub of water. I soak that with some washing up liquid, some laundry detergent and some baking soda, then let it sit."

While the racks are in soak you can apply the paste to the interior of the oven and that can be left to sit for two hours.

"Then I scrub the mess out of it, this is the hard part. You've got to scrub it. I have a little water bottle of spritz in case it gets crusty," said Mac.

"I take a whole roll of paper towels and wipe it all down. I go to the bathtub and clean those racks, and add them back in."

Then the final part of the cleaning process is to spritz down the outside of the oven using an antibacterial cleaner and a micro-fibre cloth.

The video has since been shared over 2,000 times and others have been quick to comment further advice.

One wrote: "Try boiling the vinegar before adding it to the mix. It will get more of the stuff off and is easier to scrub."

While another said: "This is even cleaner than the self-cleaner on the stove and much cheaper. It’s so pretty."
