Cleaning the oven is often a dreaded task for many, but one cleaning guru has come up with a simple way that costs 55p.
Most of us turn to a chemical spray to dissolve the grime and stains, but one TikTok user has found a 'natural' cleaning ingredient that takes minutes to clean your oven without any scrubbing. As reported by The Mirror, the mum-of-two, known as washy_wash online, has shared her go-to technique to keeping her oven clean.
The hack takes 20 minutes, and involves a simple fruit you can get from any supermarket – a lemon. In her video, she puts two chopped lemons into an oven-safe bowl before adding about 500ml of water on top to completely cover them.

She then slides the bowl into the middle tray and 'cooks' it on 200C for 20 minutes. After waiting for the lemon water to cool slightly, she wipes it all over her oven with a cloth, dissolving the dirt away in seconds. Commenting on her tip, one user said: "Oww, this is good I never tried the lemon thing."
Another user added: "I really liked the lemon way to clean the oven. I will definitely try it. Thank you." A third user said: "I didn't know that lemon and water can clean an oven. But thanks my oven is dirty." A bag of lemons costs just 55p at Tesco, with prices varying at other retailers.
A third fan said: "I’ve tried this and can say it works soooo good my oven was dirtier than this too."
