If you’re wondering whether this claim is true: yes, a dishwasher tablet can help loosen baked-on oven grease, but it’s not a magic “like new” guarantee.
A safer method:
- Put a dishwasher tablet in a heat-safe bowl.
- Add hot water and let it dissolve.
- Use the solution to wipe/soften greasy surfaces.
- Leave it for a while, then scrub with a non-abrasive sponge.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Avoid using dishwasher tablets on exposed heating elements, aluminum, or delicate/self-cleaning oven surfaces unless the manufacturer says it’s safe. Also wear gloves—the concentrated detergent can irritate skin.
