To get someone else to clean the oven?!

[berri]

Has anyone ever used any of those companies who come to your house and clean all the bits in the back of their van?

Sounds like genius - think it's about £60 which I'd gladly pay if it meant I didn't have to do it....

Or am I being a lazy arse

[insertwittynicknameHERE]

Oooh I would come and do it for half the price, I love cleaning ovens

[UniMummy]

I used one a few months ago - It was amazing and soooo worth it!! It looked brand new. After I got over the shame of showing him how bad it was I was fine

[LynetteScavo]

YANBU.

They leave it good as new.

But the man did tell me most people clean their oven out between his visits.

[NeverPushWhenItSaysPull]

I'm with UniMummy on this. It's the best £60 you'll ever spend.

In fact, I now get the man to come annually and only clean the oven door in between times

[berri]

Ha ha IWNH - really??!! I don't mind the odd bit of cleaning, but....really??!! Bet your house is lovely and clean & tidy!

Have now made my mind up - feel free to recommend companies in Surrey (is that allowed on MN?)....and I will add the £60 to the shopping budget as I'd have spent about the same on 50 bottles of Cillit Bang!

Aaah I actually feel relieved now.....

[MiladyDeScorchio]

Well worth it, even the metal racks come up all sparkly and they don't leave any mess or marks on the floor.

Yanbu

Worth every penny if you go for a good one. Not all are equal, though. It really does look like new afterwards - they took the glass panel out and everything last time.

YANBUAA.

[StealthPolarBear]

YANBU but I ahve just used my first ever oven pride and am amazed by how well it worked and how easy it was. I keep turning the light on to look and it's been over a week now.
The sense of satisfaction and "I did that" is second only to the feeling I get when I look at the DCs and it's a close second

[Meglet]

YANBU. They do a good job, even if you are a slattern like me and leave it 3 years between cleans.

[StealthPolarBear]

mine was filthy - we've been here since Nov 07 and it hadn'treally ever had a proper clean

OVEN PRIDE

[Portofino]

I want one!

[StealthPolarBear]

an oven, oven pride or a man who does?

[berri]

Confuzled who did you use?

SPB - is that a company or are you telling me to use it!

[iloveasylumseekers]

Worth every penny - I either get a man in or it doesn't get cleaned at all tbh.

We have used The Oven Cleaning Co for years and they've always been good and reliable.

[Effjay]

I get mine done every year - worth it. He usually charges around £50 for a double oven and spends up to 2 hours doing it. I think you could find someone a bit cheaper than £60 if you ring around a bit.

[StealthPolarBear]

no it's a box you get at the supermarket - you stick the shelves in a bag, throw the gunk in, whizz it round a bit, pour gunk on the inside of the oven, leave it a few hours or overnight if it's really crusty like mine, rinse the next morning et voila sparkly oven for a bit of whizzing and rinsing and under a fiver

[insertwittynicknameHERE]

Yes I really do like cleaning ovens, the rest of my house on the other hand could do with a good tidy

[StealthPolarBear]

my oven, just wish I'd had a before picture

[blueshoes]

Definitely get Oven Pride, just £3.

Your crusty oven will be sparkly again.

[Euro1]

Best £40 I have ever spent -due to return next week!

[domesticdiva]

Sod that, £60??!!

My dad likes taking our oven apart, brings his own Oven Pride and leaves no mess! Only costs me a cup of tea and a biccie...maybe I should rent him out....

[berri]

Wow, looks good as new! You can probably imagine what mine looks like at the moment

[isthatporridgeinyourhair]

Lovely shiny oven SPB.

[alibubbles]

I use A cleaner oven, they ring me every 6 months, I love having a clean oven. They make it look like brand new!
