It loosens baked-on grime and gets rid of odors at the same time.
The Steam-Clean Lemon Trick
What You Need
- 1–2 lemons

How It Works
The steam softens grease, while lemon:

Step-by-Step

Slice lemons in half and squeeze juice into an oven-safe dish.
Drop the lemon halves into the dish and add about 1 cup water. - Heat the oven
Place dish on the middle rack.
Heat oven to 250°F (120°C) and let it run 30 minutes. - Cool slightly
Turn off oven and let it cool for 10–15 minutes (warm, not hot). - Wipe clean
