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.
