Leave the racks to soak overnight — or for at least 8 hours. During this time, the tablet’s degreasing agents will lift off all the gunk and residue without any scrubbing.
Step 6: Rinse & Admire
In the morning, check the tub. You’ll notice the water is murky — a sign of success! Remove the racks and simply rinse them off. Any remaining grime should wipe off effortlessly with a sponge or cloth. No scraping. No sweat.
Dry them thoroughly, slide them back into your oven, and voilà — like new!
💡 Bonus Tips
For extra-stubborn spots, a soft-bristled brush or old toothbrush can be used after soaking. But honestly, you might not even need it.
If your tub is porcelain or delicate, line it with towels or a rubber mat to avoid scratches.

✨ Why This Trick Works So Well
Dishwasher tablets are designed to tackle tough, baked-on food and grease in high heat environments. That’s exactly what’s stuck to your oven racks — just outside of the dishwasher. When submerged in hot water, these tablets release powerful enzymes and cleaning agents that loosen grime without damaging your racks or your hands.
