Cleaning the oven is a task most of us try to avoid. That hardened grime, stubborn grease, and inevitable scrubbing make it easy to see why it often sits at the bottom of the to-do list. But what if there were a method that could turn this dreaded chore into something quick, simple, and even satisfying?
I recently discovered a technique that changed the way I approach oven cleaning: steam cleaning. After testing it out myself, I can confidently say I won’t go back to traditional methods. Here’s why steam cleaning has become my go-to oven hack.
How Steam Cleaning Works
Steam cleaning is both easy and surprisingly effective. The idea is simple: you place a dish of water inside the oven, heat it, and let the steam loosen dirt and baked-on food. The heat turns the water into steam, softening grease, food residue, and stubborn stains. Once the process is done, you can wipe everything away effortlessly—no harsh chemicals or intense scrubbing required.
