Oven cleaners

Lakeland do an oven cleaner called 'Oven Mate' I think - it's a gel that you just brush on (brush comes with it) and leave. Then it's time for a coffee and the paper. Depending on how appalling the oven is you might have to have two cups. Then wipe off with kitchen paper and hey presto! I also have one of their big blue trays (like a giant cat litter tray) and soak the racks and other bits and pieces in very hot soda water. A metal scourer gets everything off with absolutely no effort whatsoever - again just a wipe. About ten minutes effort from you - and not much elbow grease either - can see a showroom type oven again.

Always use Oven Pride. No scrubbing! Paint it on and wipe off with all the dirt. Magic!

I like the sound of having a professional oven cleaning company in, but I too am a great fan of Oven Pride.
For those of us like myself who are hard up, the £1 shop does their own version, containing the same chemicals and it’s just as effective!

I pay £50 to Ovencleaners to come and clean my two ovens! Well worth it. Usually once a year sometimes twice.
They do shelves and take apart the glass doors. It may go up to £60 this year - but still well worth it! Simples as the meerkats say!

Why not look on YouTube? The answers to many domestic (and non-domestic) problems are there. Take your pick...home-made remedies or carcinogenic commercial alternatives.

Oven Pride....i have moved 17 times and its advent was a game changer for me!

I'm another who swears by Oven Pride. It just lifts the dirt off without any real hard work and I love the idea of soaking the racks and trays in a bag of the liquid.

Oven Pride is fantastic, makes cleaning the oven almost enjoyable! It includes a big sealable bag for the shelves, to which I add my enamel baking tins too. Leave overnight and rinse with absolutely no effort or smell!

Thanks! Ovenu chap came several years ago but now the company doesn't cover us.

If Mr Muscle's really really good...hey ho!

Mr Muscle is good!

I think they are called Ovenu and cost around £80 depending on the size of your cooker grin

Can anyone recommend a really effective cleaner for the inside of my large electric oven?

I so so don't want to have to scrub-a-dub-dub (much or at all) as I loathe hard domestic work. I know it's shameful but if there are any easy peasy ways forward....much appreciated!
