It is often difficult to remove grease residue from cookware. That’s why we’ll tell you the best way to remove even the most stubborn dirt. Cleaning the oven is one of the household chores that we do the least, especially when it comes to removing the hardest and most crusty grease. In this case, it is often difficult and tedious to remove the dirt on kitchen utensils such as baking trays.

Sometimes, no matter how much you scrub or soak, the dirt won’t come off. If you use it again, the problem arises: the dirt heats up and the odors mix with the food you cook and become unhealthy. So let’s look at how to remove dirt from baking sheets and make them look like new again!

Very dirty baking tray, clean again in a few simple steps – here’s how!

These are the most effective means of cleaning the baking sheet from burnt and encrusted dirt. After applying any of these products, your baking sheets will be spotless. Watch!

1. Vinegar and baking soda

Vinegar and baking soda are good for cleaning a burnt baking sheet. You should prepare a paste by adding 10 tablespoons of baking soda, 3 tablespoons of vinegar, and 4 tablespoons of hot water to a bowl.

Remember to add the vinegar little by little to prevent too much foam from forming. The consistency should be creamy so that more baking soda can be added if needed. Spread the dough on the baking sheet, especially in the dirtiest places. Leave the paste on for a few hours before removing it with a sponge and water.

3. Lemon

Lemon eliminates odors that form in the oven. To enjoy the benefits of this citrus, add water to the pan, add the juice of a lemon and its zest, turn on the oven and leave for 20 to 30 minutes. Finally, take the tray out of the oven and wash it as usual.

4. Vinegar

Vinegar can be used to clean the pan. To perform this trick, add three parts water and one part vinegar to a spray bottle. Spread this mixture on the walls and on the baking sheet, leave on for 15 to 20 minutes and finally wipe off with a sponge.
