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. 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.

    Use Oven Pride it takes the hard work of scrubbing!

    what ever you do, dont use a metal scourer on the glass. you'll end with hundreds of little scratches which will only trap more grease, making the oven even dirtyer and more difficult to clean next time(plus unsightly scratches). you are better of using a glass scraper of the type designed to clean spilt paint and stickers from windows. not only can you use this on the oven glass door, but you can also use it inside the oven on the ceramic surface and on ceramic hobs. an invaluble piece of cleaning kit for those who like to keep a clean oven

    I put a professional cleaner on my broiler tray of an 1950s enamel oven. Forgot about it & it baked on over time as I used the oven side. What do it do to get that baked oven cleaner off?

    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!

    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.
