The housewives at Belnovosti (18+) figured out how to use washing capsules not only in the washing machine, but also for quick and easy cleaning. The active components in the capsules effectively dissolve even old stains, and this property helps get rid of fatty deposits in the oven.
To clean the oven, you need to place one capsule in a baking tray with boiling water and place it in an oven preheated to 200 °C. In 15–20 minutes, steam saturated with detergents will soften the stains, and they can be easily removed with a regular sponge without the use of abrasives and caustic sprays.
Dishwasher tablets work in a similar way: they are placed in a container of hot water and left in the oven for the same time. This method is especially useful in emergency cases when the oven is covered with a thick layer of carbon deposits. However, it is not economical for daily care, since capsules and tablets are more expensive than specialized cleaning products.
The advantage of this method is minimal effort: there is no need to mix solutions, wear gloves or ventilate the kitchen from chemical fumes. After the procedure, it is important to thoroughly wipe the oven dry so that any detergent residue does not get on the food during further use.
Some people worry that the capsule will leave marks on the baking sheet, but using boiling water and a short heating time this does not happen. The method is suitable for all types of ovens – gas, electric, with or without enamel coating, with the exception of models with delicate surfaces, where it is recommended to first test the method on a small area.
