Why This Method Works So Well: Degreasers

Dishwasher tablets contain powerful degreasers that cut through hardened food and grease with surprising ease. As soon as they dissolve in hot water, the active ingredients spread across the stove’s surface and start loosening grime that would normally take real effort to remove. The enzymes inside the tablet break down stubborn, baked-on bits and gradually soften even the toughest burnt spots. Instead of scraping, the residue begins to lift on its own, making the final wipe almost effortless. It feels a bit like magic, and it often leaves people wondering what is actually happening beneath the surface. That’s exactly what we explain below.

How It Works

Using a dishwasher tablet on your stove is simple and more effective than many specialized cleaners. Bring water to a boil, place the tablet in a heatproof bowl and pour the hot water over it. Let it dissolve fully until the water turns cloudy. Next, apply the mixture to the burnt areas and allow it to rest for ten to fifteen minutes. After soaking, take a clean cloth and wipe the stove. The residue lifts off easily because the dissolved tablet has already done most of the work. Rinse the cloth periodically and wipe once more with clean water to remove any remaining film. When you’re finished, the stove looks smooth, clean and refreshed often far better than after using strong chemical cleaners. This method is inexpensive, fast and incredibly effective. Many people who try it once end up using it regularly, especially when dealing with stubborn burnt-on stains.
