    You can clean them in a cold oven if you are using vinegar and baking soda overnight. If they are greasy or have burned on food, you can wash them in the sink, but you need to soak them or cover them in a paste of baking soda and vinegar first. You can also leave them in the oven on the self-clean cycle, but the high heat can sometimes discolor the chrome look. Choose one! ☺️

    spray them with oven cleaner of choice put in black plastic bag. Tie shut. Put in warm sunny area for 10 to 12 hours. Then rinse.

    For standard cleaning, use a soapy sponge and hot water to wipe the racks. For stubborn messes, soak oven racks in hot water, dish soap, and a couple scoops of baking soda. Let the racks soak in this mixture for 15 to 30 minutes before scrubbing clean with a soft sponge.
