Advice needed from Clean Queen GNs

Pay,someone to clean the oven. About £60. Worth every penny. Then you can keep it clean.

Hello ?

Have you tried Rushmoor golden scouring pads? They come in a pack of 2 and costs are around £2. Amazon sell them. They’re like the green scourers but so much better! I keep one in the kitchen and one in the bathroom.

Soak them in hot water and washing soda, it will soften the burnt on bits and they'll scrub off easily.

I always forget to clean my oven until the shelves are pretty grubby, and the washing soda works every time.

This

Or buy Ovenpride, it comes with a bag into which you insert the racks and some of the liquid, seal. Turn the bag occasionally - result, sparkling racks.

PY someone expert at cleaning ovens to do it,

There are many oven cleaners that come with a bag to put the oven racks in, they come out perfectly clean.

Pay someone.

I recently cleaned my oven shelves by dissolving two or three dishwasher tablets in hot water in the bath. Soaked overnight. Most of the burned on grease had soaked off by morning. The residue I removed easily with a gentle scrub using a sponge scourer. I recommend using a 'hair catcher' in the plughole to collect the bits.

GAMI - get a man in.
Seriously, your oven/hob will come up like new if you employ a specialist company. No effort on your part other than booking an appointment.

I put the racks in my dishwasher- take them out when the washing cycle has just finished and before the drying cycle begins. Any tough stains still remaining come off very easily when you give them a quick scour (the baked on food just slips off).

Yep.. Fully agree been doing this for years.

Overpride... only couple of quid from home bargain....works a treat

Many thanks for the suggestions (I knew GNs wouldn't let me down!). I am very tempted to get someone in but may try the Ovenpride first.

I use Brillo pads but Ovenpride, Mr Muscle oven cleaner or GAMI sound better.

Ovenpride it costs around a fiver so nothing to lose really.

I always get a man in.

Brillo pads?

Go onto the Lakeland website. Oven Mate oven cleaner and Oven Mate Just For Racks. They’re both probably the best cleaners of their type I’ve ever used. With Just For Racks you get a bottle of gel, a brush, gloves and a couple of soaking bags. Take the racks and put them in a bag, pour on the gel and seal the bags. Then watch the dirt dissolve. Keep turning the bags every half hour or so, so that the get is evenly spread. I find a couple of hours is more than enough to get them clean but if it’s really bad, give it a bit longer. Any residue left on the racks should be easily removable with a Brillo pad.

The oven cleaner is great too - it can even be used on the glass in the door - just open the door so that the glass is lying flat, brush on and wipe off when the dirt dissolves.

Either buy Oven Pride (Wilko’s or Amazon- cheap/easy) or get a professional in which will cost upwards of £45. I have the professional in once a year and Oven Pride otherwise.

Look in your local gazette for an Oven Cleaner - or for a cheaper alternative, those Ovenpride cleaners are fantastic, but involves a little bit of work, mainly washing the cleaner off the racks etc. and the floor of the oven. The former is about £25 for Oven and £25 for Hob.

Google it ... may come across some good ideas

Not much work, crazyH. Buy 2 Oven Prides - one for the racks in the bag and the rest wiped around the oven. Then call in the PROFESSIONALS around Christmas! ?

It's my idea of hell !
But here's what I do and it works .
I soak racks in hottish water with a good dollop of Ariel overnight .
I've found that spots soak off or are removed with the gentlest of effort .

Much easier with Oven Pride, believe me!
