How to Clean Oven Racks

Some ovens are self cleaning, and others you will need to clean manually. Most people use oven cleaner products which contain harmful chemicals, and are harmful if inhaled. There are easier and better ways to clean your oven racks, with products that do not have the harmful chemicals.
