Woman who 'couldn't see' through filthy oven door says 10p item made it look 'as good as new'

There are lots of tedious household jobs that can easily fall by the wayside, and cleaning your oven and hob is one of them for most people. We all want a gleaming oven, but it's a task that requires a lot of hard work.

Not only does a dirty oven look unsightly, but it can also make your house smell nasty when you're cooking - and if you have guests around at yours, it can become seriously embarrassing. But thankfully, one woman has shared that she cleaned her whole oven and hob using an unusual staple that's usually reserved for cleaning something totally different, The Mirror reports.

She took to the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips Facebook group to write: "So I did it! I bought the cheapest dishwasher tablets I could find (Morrison's own make) and cleaned my entire oven and hob with them, took less than 30 minutes to do the whole thing. I had tried elbow grease spray, pink stuff, Cif oven cleaner, and others alike before.

"Nothing cleaned the oven door, I couldn't see through it. Now it's almost like new, the whole oven and hob and door. Thank you to this page. Also, please remember to wear gloves when doing this as you don't want prolonged contact with skin from the dishwasher tablets."

Eager to know more about the cleaning tips, other Mrs Hinch fans asked for more information, with one writing: "Did you just go over everywhere with just the tablet or do you do something with the tablet?" The original poster then detailed her method, commenting: "I just sprayed hot water inside and on the door and on hob then scrubbed around with the dishwasher tablets.

"I used the tablets then wiped all over with a clean wet sponge to essentially rinse it off then wiped all around with kitchen towel." She also reiterated that it was "no effort."

Dishwasher tablets can be bought for as little as £1.50 for a pack of 26.
