You probably know the feeling–your favorite, once-shiny cookie sheet looks so bad it’s embarrassing. Today we’ve got an easy way to clean cookie sheets so they look like new again. And you can do it with a couple of simple household ingredients!
How to Clean Cookie Sheets
Supplies
SuppliesAll you need to clean cookie sheets are a couple of basic household ingredients. Grab a bottle of hydrogen peroxide, a box of baking soda, and that dirty cookie sheet. And remember a scrubbing sponge or a bit of steel wool while you’re at it.
Method to Clean Cookie Sheets
This method for clean cookie sheets is so easy, you don’t even need to make a paste of the baking soda and peroxide first. Just cover the dirty areas of your cookie sheet liberally with baking soda. Now pour some peroxide over top of the baking soda. You may also pour some hydrogen peroxide in a spray bottle and spray it over the baking soda. Follow it up with another layer of baking soda.
Now all you need is time {and a little patience!}. We suggest waiting at least a couple of hours for the baking soda and hydrogen peroxide to work their magic. You may even wish to let it sit overnight.
Once you’ve waited at least a couple of hours, use a non-scratch sponge to wipe away a section of the baking soda and peroxide mixture. The mixture itself will look discolored, as if the muck has transferred from the cookie sheet to the baking soda mixture.
Once the peroxide and baking soda is no longer white, you can finish up this job. Use a scrubbing sponge to clean the cookie sheet as you normally would. It doesn’t take a lot of scrubbing! Now rinse well, and your cookie sheet is back in all it’s like-new glory!
Time to celebrate by baking a batch of–what else?–cookies! Do you know the best space-saving ways to store your pots, pans and cookie sheets when you’re done baking?
Thank you for your ideas. Now I need a recipe for windows or glass doors.

Go to the dollar store and buy some microfiber towels. Use plain water and you will see the cleanest windows ever! Don’t wash the microfiber towels in the laundry, it will spoil them for windows.
Does this method work for nonstick cookie sheets too.
Yes it does 🙂
I have seen elsewhere that the hydrogen peroxide is too strong, somehow, for nonstick sheets. You can try baking soda and vinegar for those – it’s not as strong.
