Cleaning oven trays can be endlessly stressful and cause anyone to resort to strong chemicals or simply give up altogether.


You don't have to, cleaning oven trays with soap is really "the lazy person's" way of doing it. There is no need to work with the trays unnecessarily. Let soap and time do the job. Allow it to take a little time and do one tray at a time, so that you do not have to spare all your trays at the same time.

I use Västerbottenssåpa's kitchen soap which you can find here!

Do this:
Soak the tray with a little water and plenty of soap. Here we use the kitchen soap, unscented in a pump bottle but solid soap also works. However, a good habit is to always use unscented products for everything related to the kitchen and cooking.



2. Wrap the tray. We put it in a regular waste bag, one from each end and seal it.



3. Wait! Let the tray lie like this for a day.

After a day, open the bag a little and check with an eco-fiber cloth or copper scrubber. If the dirt comes off easily, just scrub it off, rinse and dry.

If it still sticks, add more soap and a little water so that the tray is moist with soap and water and seal again.

The important thing is that the whole tray is covered with soap and water and that it does not dry.
After another day - repeat. Check if the dirt is coming off. If not, top up with soap/water and seal again.



This tray was badly burnt and was left for 4 days. Then the burnt-on dirt came off easily when we rubbed a little with the copper scrubber and the eco-fiber cloth and the tray became like new again.

Be a little "lazy" and let the soap work for you.

We have put together a kit with all you need to clean your kitchen without strong chemicals and perfumes


The package contains only unscented products. Perfumes do not belong in a kitchen, we think. The kitchen should be cleaned so that it smells good without perfumes. Covering up bad odors in the kitchen with perfumes is not a good idea, here it should be naturally clean because here we handle the food we eat and ingest. You can find the kit here.
