Oven cleaning routine and Cleaning rangemaster oven

4 replies

We have a newclassic deluxe rangemaster double oven - have had it for about 6 months, it now needs a clean!
On the manual it says just to use warm soapy water to clean the oven. I don't want to damage the enamel... I've tried using just warm soapy water but some of the dirt seems to not be budging.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm reluctant to use anything too abrasive as I don't want to damage it.
Also would love to hear how you keep on top of oven cleaning!
Thanks and happy new year Biscuit

Honestly I hate cleaning my oven.

I'm paying a professional company to do mine in the new year.

I'd love to hear other people's advice though!

I have same oven and try to keep mine as clean as I can using Teflon liners on the oven floors and washing the shelves every couple of weeks. If they get left longer, I put them in the dishwasher. I wipe the hob down every time I use it, but take off rings and clean properly every week or two, or when there is a spill. I batch cook and bake at weekends, so usually clean after that.

Like most things, if done every week, it's a quick job. If it's left, getting baked on spills and grease off the glass and enamel is a big job. For day to day cleaning, I use hot soapy water, or spray with a 50/50 mix of vinegar and washing up liquid first if there's something 'set' that will need more than a wipe.

The guy I pay to clean mine uses fairy liquid and magic erasers. He gets it spotless and I bake on everything I cook to the sides. He does scrub tho but gets a single oven clean in about 90 minutes.

I'd definitely side with those above suggesting to go pay someone to do it. In the past I've used a company company called Grease Lightning Oven Cleaning and they are miracle workers!

However, if you do want to do it yourself, stick with the warm soapy water, but also add vinegar and baking soda to your arsenal. There are loads of suggestions on Google, but normally you can just combine them into a paste, apply over the stubborn bit, leave for a few hours and then wipe clean. As far as I'm aware, this shouldn't damage the enamel, but maybe worth testing on an inconspicuous area first.
