Best thing we ever did was get an oven with a pyolitic cleaning setting - take the racks and bars out, put it on the cleaning cycle and an hour and a half later all the stuff stuck to the insides is reduced to a pile of grey ash you can just wipe out.

I can't run the cleaning cycle at the same time as the dishwasher though, or the whole house trips out thanks to the aged wiring!

Yes I do use Mr Muscle. The fumes can be a bit overwhelming though.

The wire racks and bars I soak in a strong solution of biological washing liquid (clothes washing stuff) for an hour or so. They come up spotless.
I would recommend the Lakeland oven cleaner, not cheap, but a little goes a very long way, don’t need to heat the oven, no nasty aerosol fumes.


can use on some oven trays, pans etc

I like the look of that. It's now on my list for the next time I go to the Trafford Centre.

It’s the best thing i have found, does glass as well
Another shout out for this stuff - it works miracles. Brings glass up brilliantly and it rescued the inside of our old Neff oven which we'd bought 2nd hand off e-bay. Looked like new within a few hours.

I've genuinely been out and bought some oven pride as a result of this thread. Thanks @MancBee for all you do.

This morning I was inspired to put my oven shelves in a massive plastic container full of Surf and hot water. I’m afraid to say it doesn’t work very well on filthy, caked-on, black grease. The edges were gleaming though! @MancBee’s oven speaks for itself but he would NEVER allow it to get as nasty as mine. I thought I’d warn the more disgusting among us….

We’ve done more influencing on this thread since lunchtime than Mrs 16 Filing Cabinets has done in 10 years of poverty whining… #ad #gifted #rateyourovenmate #youcantsitwithusjack

apparently you can also get people in to just clean your oven

tbh, i wish there was some kind of washing machine setting that would just automatically clean it

you'd have thought id learned from that time the oily trays i kept in the bottom of the oven in my old flat caught fire

why yes, i did panic and throw water on it

i don't know how im still alive sometimes 🙃

eta. obv don't do that if you have an oven fire. turn the power off and keep the door closed. remember your fire triangle lads!

I still call it this! I just can’t drop the plastics bit, it is too ingrained in my brain.
Will be off to buy the oven cleaner ...#influenced
