A MUM has shared a genius cleaning hack that gets oven racks spotless – and it’s also environmentally friendly.
With thick layers of grease and dirt to remove, cleaning ovens is a task that most of us avoid like the plague – after all, who wants to spend hours having a vigorous arm workout?
But a mum and daughter duo, from Plymouth, have revealed a simple trick, which they claimed make the cleaning process like ”child’s play”, The Chronicle Live reported.
The best part? Not only is this hack easy and effective but also doesn’t call for any strong chemicals that are bad for the planet.
According to them, all you need to do is leave the oven rack in some grass overnight and….that’s it.
After learning about the hack on TV years ago, Marea Pearse wasn’t too convinced and didn’t feel particularly optimistic – and understandably so.

However, giving the trick a go, she quickly realised that it does work, and then passed on her knowledge to her daughter.
Vowing to never use Mr Muscle again, the daughter took it to social media, where she shared the hack on Facebook.
“I saw the hack some time ago on the TV,” revealed Marea.
”I waited ages to try it not thinking it would work, but lo and behold it’s brilliant, so have been passing on my knowledge.
“I don’t know why it works and don’t care, it makes cleaning the racks child’s play and it is environmentally friendly as well.
”Also try with barbecue racks, they are notoriously hard to clean.”

In her post, Marea’s daughter wrote: “Oven cleaning game changer I had to share.
”My mother told me a while back that to clean your racks and side panels leave them overnight in the grass.
“Well I finally tried it last night and cleaned them this morning. Omg [Oh my God] so easy just light rub with the wire wool and washing up water.
“Never again will I be doing Mr Muscle. Just had to share.”
She explained she would just plonk it on the grass in whichever state it was and the following day the grease and dirt would be easy to remove.
Intrigued by this unexpectedly simple method, fellow cleaning enthusiasts ran to the comments, where a few claimed they were already familiar with it.
One person said: “Been doing this for years. Ever since leaving the bbq grill in the grass overnight.
”Isn’t it amazing!! Haven’t tried oven racks yet – that’s next.”

Another person guessed: “It’s probably the dew softening up all the hard bits. Great idea.”
Replying to a user who said they didn’t have grass, the daughter wrote: “Apparently works with fresh grass cutting too so if have a council grass cut scoop some up just needs to be damp.”
