This is why your oven still looks dirty (even after you’ve scrubbed it) – experts say we’re all missing this one crucial spot when cleaning

Kitchen with blue cabinets and white worktops, and a oven with a gas hob on top .

With Christmas around the corner, your oven will be working overtime over the next few weeks. And while there’s never been a better time to clean it, it turns out that we’ve all been missing a crucial spot when cleaning our ovens - making it look dirty, even when it’s not. This visible grime also means you’ll have to open the oven door more frequently, spoiling your yorkies and energy bills in the process.

As one of the kitchen appliances to deep-clean before Christmas, your oven will thank you for some TLC this festive season. Cleaning the racks, runners, seals, and the main oven space will make sure it’s equipped to deal with your Christmas dinner and your Boxing Day curry, and ensure it doesn’t give your mother-in-law any ammunition to criticise your cleaning skills.
