🧽 Instructions
1. Put on gloves – dishwasher tablets can be drying or irritating to bare skin.
2. Dip the corner of the tablet into warm water briefly — don’t soak it!
3. Use the tablet like a scrubber, gently rubbing it directly onto greasy oven surfaces:
Door glass
Oven walls
Trays and racks (if removable)
4. Let the suds sit for a minute or two on stubborn spots.
5. Wipe away residue with a damp cloth or sponge.
6. Rinse and repeat if needed.
7. Stand back and admire your shockingly clean oven. ✨
