In principle, Oekotest
advises
not to let it get that far and recommends: “Clean the tray immediately after preparing oven dishes, cakes or cookies;
“It’s best to do it while the tray is still warm.”

2. Clean the sheet metal with a cleaning stone
For less intensive dirt, you can also use a cleaning stone for cleaning.
To do this, moisten it slightly and then work on the dirty points.
Then wipe the sheet metal with a damp cloth.
But be careful: not every baking tray can withstand this.
That's why the online portal
Everdrop
advises : "Test the cleaning stone in an inconspicuous place beforehand so that you can be sure that your baking tray will not be damaged."

4. Baking powder or baking soda works wonders
As with the drain, baking powder, which is considered an absolute miracle cure in the household, or baking soda - depending on availability - also help against dirt on your baking tray.
First mix the product of your choice with warm water -
Everdrop
recommends a 1:1 ratio.
Now apply the mixture to the dirty areas.
After around 30 minutes, you can now rinse the surface with a sponge and dishwashing liquid.
For stubborn dirt, it is recommended to allow the mixture to take effect for longer.
5. Dishwasher tablets can help in an emergency
If none of the home remedies already described help, dishwasher tabs are the last hope.
Mix a tab with boiling water and pour the mixture onto the dirty baking tray.
Now leave it on overnight.
The next day you can simply rinse the baking tray with clean water, recommends
