How can I stop my oven smelling like Mr Muscle and my food tasting like it too? :(

I cleaned my oven thoroughly a few weeks ago, using Mr Muscle, it did the job except a few stubborn marks which I can't be arsed to remove.

I then used the oven and everything tasted like Mr Muscle - that very particular, nasty, chalky taste. I have since re-wiped the whole oven, and used it a couple of times since, but am still getting the smell/taste, although it's not as bad as it was first time.

Any tips to get rid of this, apart from re-wiping another 10 times?

I am 28weeks pregnant, the oven is an under the counter one with a door than opens downwards rather than to one side, so I am not finding this the easiest of tasks!

can you remove the linings, or at least the oven bottom tray, and the wire shelves, and rinse off in the sink? My innards come out and I put them in the dishwasher (including the perforated grease filter for the oven fan)

They still need oven cleaner though, burnt on grease takes a very long time to wear away in the d/wr.

If it won't come apart;what about 'cooking' a bowl of water in there for half an hour or so? Maybe with half a lemon in it, then after it's cooled down a bit, but still warm, wipe it out with lot's of fresh water with a bit of bicarb or vinegar in it. (to help neutralise nasty niffs)
