Racks

• Place the racks in an extra large heavy-duty garbage bag, pour in a cup of ammonia and tie the bag closed (tightly).
• Set the garbage bag outside away from children and pets.
• The next day remove the racks and scrub them clean in hot soapy water.

If they aren’t that grimy, you can choose instead to soak them in hot soapy water. Scrub clean with a baking soda and water paste.
