‘Incredible’ and ‘natural’ 19p fruit to get rid of nasty oven smells in 15 minutes


No matter what you’re cooking, small food particles can gather at the base, trays, filters, heating element and even around the oven fan.

Grime can also accumulate on the oven door and oven racks, which can cause bad smells, extremely when cooking strong foods.

Taking to the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips Facebook page, Zoe Lewis wrote: “Any tips for deodorising my oven? I’ve cleaned it but it still has that cooking smell to it.”

The biggest cause of bad odours is grease residue and most foods cooked in an oven will contain some amount of fat.

Though unpleasant, it is extremely normal, and can be easily banished with a few simple ingredients.

Though unpleasant, it is extremely normal, and can be easily banished with a few simple ingredients.

One comment from user Silvi said: “Use an oven proof dish with water and some slices of lemon. Leave it on for five to 10 minutes and then turn the oven off.

“Leave the water in for another five minutes and it’ll smell amazing. I do this every time after cooking fish, hope this helps!”

Lemons are natural deodorisers which can be used in many ways throughout the home, including the oven.

The 19p fruit can also be used to clean the inside of the oven, including the doors by simply rubbing the fruit onto the grease and grime.

As well as smelling great, they can also help to disinfect the oven due to their antibacterial properties.

Another comment from Suzi read: “Lemons all the way, an incredible natural way to get rid of smells, I like using it after curries.”

Other comments recommended using Elbow Grease All Purpose Degreaser which helps to remove grease and oil as well as smells.

Allie Holmes wrote: “Mine was like this and I sprayed it down with Elbow Grease and then used a dishwasher tablet on it, I left it for about five to 10 minutes. I’ve got all my friends and family to do it now, good luck!”

Sally Cooke commented: “Spray Elbow Grease and leave it for a while before scrubbing it off. Your biggest concern is scratching the glass.”

If the oven door is removable, try soaking it in the bath with the racks along with some hot water and dishwasher tablets.
