Cleaning the oven roof?

I am having the oven cleaned Friday for the first time! A lovely lady whose charging me £40. She charges more depending on the size of the oven and how bad it is.

Oven really needs cleaning On talking to one of the cottages cleaners about it she said put a bowl of water with a few dishwasher tablets in switch on high and this dissolves the grease. Didn’t hold out a great deal of hope but thought I would give it ago.
Had cooked chicken for supper this afternoon so decided while oven was hot to give it ago
Went out to collect some chives and got sidetracked to pull a few weeds out
I returned to find the oven switched off and husband in true Punch snd Judy style said “That’s not the way to do it ‘. His mate Google says you should rub oven with dishwasher tablet
I said he should demonstrate it tomorrow and I have offered to give him some rubber gloves and make tea for him
He has never cleaned an oven in his life as far as I know. As he is never wrong‼️he said he will show me.
I am waiting with bated breath for a sparkling oven
What are my chances ❓

That’s one day you’ll never get back. Mine is also eye level.
I’d rather pay someone to do it. £25 annually, works out at £2 per month. Sorry Eddiecat - I didn’t mean to sound patronising. I’m sure someone will give you the right advice.

It's £65 here!!

I paid someone to clean my oven and discovered he didn’t do the roof - I will get OH to do it next time as it was £135 for 90 mins work. Said it would take at least 2 hours but it wasn’t that bad but no discount.

Have you tried putting a bowl of water with lemon or orange in it and turning the oven on quite high ( not doing what I did which was to allow it to dry out!) .
