Kmart shopper's $12 cleaning hack that makes tedious job bearable: 'Game changer'

A Kmart shopper has shared an ingenious solution to one of the most tedious cleaning jobs, providing consumers with a hack they never knew they needed. The shopper said she had been struggling to find a way to clean her oven racks or find a container big enough to soak them in, and that she wasn't a fan of soaking them in the bath, but then she stumbled across the perfect solution using a $12 Kmart item.

"I don't know why I haven't thought of this before! For the life of me I could not find a container big enough to soak my oven racks, and I'm not a fan of using the bath. I've had the Kmart underbed storage tubs for years, and they are literally the perfect size," she wrote in a Kmart Home Decor & Hacks Facebook group. "Added bonus, they're on wheels so you can just roll it over to the sink to empty the water."

Kmart fans praise clever cleaning hack: 'Game changer'

"Thank you so much. Just about to clean the oven and I hate doing the racks," one person commented. "I do something similar and add ammonia to the hot water," another suggested. "Makes the job easy."
