The arse end of Hangleton




I have just booked a bloke to come to my house on Thursday to clean my oven.

I am a filthy sod have have not cleaned it properly in 5 years. He tells me that for £49 my double oven, including racking will look like new.

If it's any good I will let you know

Chuck it and buy a proper self-cleaning oven.

I have a couple of Siemens activeClean ovens - activeClean sets the oven to 500c and burns all the crap off in 2 hours, whilst you catch up with some sport. Quick sweep out after with a dustpan and brush and a wipe over with a cloth, job done. Less than 2 minutes of effort required.

One job in the house I refuse to do - get it professionally cleaned - it will come up like new and cost you about 50 quid - I get ours done once or twice a year - and it's a double oven and he does the hob too for me - brilliant x well worth the money and no burning of skin or nasty smells in the house x

Do they slide it out of position and clean round the sides and back too?

Thanks, but if your location is true, the guy will have around a 230 mile trip to me :) (I live in South Wales :thumbsup: )

Oven priding as we speak. It's a bit of a pain to be honest and I've heard of "oven bombs" which are better but never found them.

In fairness it's not really that bad, its about 7 years old and has never been properly cleaned apart from a wipe out after useage, but yesterday we cooked a chicken in it and i just noticed it could probably do with a decent proper clean, but it really does not warrant a guy to come round and do it.

Not being very clued up on oven cleaners I thought i would ask on here for any suggestions.

That Oven Pride does look good but from what i can see its been recalled as some kid drank some or something like that, its been recalled because of the caps to the bottle i think??? i know tescos arnt doing it at present anyway!

And thanks to everyone for there suggestions, yes even you [MENTION=5707]Nibble[/MENTION] :lol:

Cheers Guys :thumbsup:

What store did you get it from? see my post above about it being recalled.

Asda about 6-12 months ago.

If you can find the bombs, they explode covering the whole oven in cleaning fluid, rather than manually having to spread it around with a cloth.

It did me as well :lol:

Welcome to my oven cleaning thread by the way, hope you enjoy it :thumbsup:

I never had any doubt.

A tip for the easier but no less unpleasant task of cleaning your microwave oven: Cut a lemon in half, stick half into a bowl of boiling water, whack it in the mw on full for 3 mins. Remove and a paper towel will wipe away all and any dirt nomatter how stubborn. It really works a treat.
