So what should you do if you want to clean the oven with the help of lemons?
The oven must initially be heated to 150 degrees. Then cut three fresh lemons in half and squeeze the juice into a container. Then you let some water be poured into an oven dish where you also add the lemon juice and lemon peel.
By placing the baking dish with the lemons in the hot oven, the vapors will loosen food residues and dirt from the inside of the oven. Then leave the baking dish in the oven for about an hour.
