How to Clean Oven Racks

Ovens today are easy to clean, since most come with a self-cleaning feature. If you like your oven racks to keep their shine, you should remove them from your oven before starting the self-cleaning process. Here's how to get the racks shiny, clean and looking brand new.


You'll Need
Dishwashing soap
Old towels and washcloths
Large trash bag
Ammonia
Oven cleaner

Bathtub Method


1 Remove the racks from the oven and place them in your bathtub. Be careful not to scratch your tub; you may want to lay them on an old towel inside the tub.

2 Submerge them in hot water. Add liquid or granular dishwashing soap. Let them soak overnight.

3 Scrub with a washcloth in the morning to get them clean.

Trash Bag Method

4 Place the racks in a heavy-duty trash bag for a no-mess cleaning method. Do this outside on your driveway.

5 Add a half-quart of ammonia and seal the bag tightly. Let them soak overnight.

6 Rinse them in the morning with the garden hose.

7 Lay your racks on an old towel on your driveway.

8 Spray oven cleaner on the racks and let them soak overnight.

9 Scrub off any stubborn bits and rinse with the garden hose.

Self-Clean Method

10 Leave the racks in your oven and use the self-cleaning feature if you do not care what your racks look like.

11 Notice that over time the racks lose their shine and the texture will change to rough.

12 Rub the racks with some salad oil to get them to slide easily again.
