How To Clean An Oven So It Gleams

Is your oven a mess? Jacqueline Hansson from Amy Cleaners shows us how to clean an oven so that it gleams with pride.

Step 1:

You will need

Step 2:

Spray

Give your heavy duty cleaner a good shake. Cover the inside of the oven with an even coating of the spray. Cover the door, base, walls, and shelf brackets. Read the manufacturers instructions on the package and leave for the required time.

WARNING
Some oven cleaners can be noxious so make sure the room is well ventilated

Step 3:

Scrub

Fill a small bowl with hot water and take it to the oven. This will prevent you dripping greasy water across your kitchen floor. Dip a scourer in the water and scrub. Scrub hard - this is no job for wimps! Regularly rinse the scourer off in the bowl of water. Pay particular attention to the bottom of the oven as this is where most of the baked on food will be.

Work around the sides and along the shelf brackets.

Step 4:

Wipe

Use a soft cloth to remove the product from the oven. Warning -This will turn the cloth brown. Make sure you wipe right into all the corners. Keep wiping until the oven is spotless. Give it a final polish with paper towels - this will remove any final traces of the cleaning products and really make the inside of your oven gleam.

TOP TIP
Close the oven door and set to a high temperate for just a few minutes until the oven warms up. This kills of any germs and left over chemical smells. Turn the oven off and leave the door open a fraction to let the vapours dispel.

I decided instead to call in an oven cleaning company! I used Oven Wizards and they were outstanding. My oven clean was amazing, the guy was here about 2 hours and did an oven clean, hob clean and extractor clean. Now I have it done twice a year to keep it sparkling. Amazing result and no effort! Take a look at www.thecleanersolution.co.uk

By the way, it's bicarbonate of soda that you need, not baking soda. Baking soda contains other stuff as well as bicarb. it would work I suppose but bicarb. is the active ingredient.

You don't have to use the bicarb every time, just try it, then do it whenever you want. I think the tip on Woman's hour was from an older lady who probably had an old fashioned cooker with no window in the door so no smears would show. I wipe the paste (you don't need much) on the light cover and all the shiny fitments, but its no good on the self cleaning sides (but then niether is any of the commercial caustic stuff). My advice is just try it, see how it works, then use it how it suits you as little or as often as you like.

Make a paste of bicarbonate of soda, spread all over the oven before you bake or cook something in it. Remove baked or cooked food from oven then when the oven has cooled a little just wipe if out. The grease just wipes off. No scrubbing, no noxious chemicals. This tip was broadcast on "Woman's Hour" about ten years ago, I was sceptical but tried it and was amazed by the results.
