Many mums on the thread agreed, one wrote: "I wet a dishwasher tablet and rub it on the glass door – it cleans all the grease off.

"Wipe off the residue with a damp cloth, then dry. Incidentally, if you get gunk on your iron, iron a dishwasher tablet to clean that too."

"We tried it and it was amazing. The stuff just came off. Also takes the gunk off the kitchen cupboards and tiles next to the hob. I’ve been wondering round the kitchen with a tab wondering what else it will clean." Commented another user.

A third said: ‘I’m a fair age, well versed in various cleaning tips and tricks, how did I not know about this? Neither did my mum."
