What is your oven cleaning routine?

[Minieggbrownies]

I'm trying to keep my oven cleaner. It used to be a once a year job with loads of oven pride.

I'm m trying to do it every 8 weeks now as doing TOMM, it still takes forever and without oven pride it isn't properly clean.

I know ideally it should be wiped after each use, but I find that once I've cooked a roast, the door is splattered and won't come off without scrubbing. I'm just not prepared to scrub the oven every single week.

I already use oven liners and gave self cleaning sides. Is there any other way to make it a bit easier?

I would love to say I had one, but the extent of my oven cleaning was to give it a mad scrub when the element went and I needed someone to come and fix it, and was embarrassed by the state of it 😳

Pay professional oven cleaner to do it.

Money well spent.

Oven Clean once a year.

It comes up brand new.

Honestly? I pay twice a year ish to have it professionally cleaned. I don’t have a cleaner and do everything else round the house myself (due to circumstances mainly) but having the oven brought back to shiny new by someone else is priceless.

Call oven cleaning man, hand over cash, marvel at clean oven.

My routine is to call the oven cleaning company twice a year to clean them. 😬

call the nice man with specialty equipment.

Twice a year professional clean as per PP!

I clean it myself approx once a week (hob gets wiped after every use) but the professional takes the glass apart and gets into all the nooks and crannies so well!

Sorry, what?

We are vegetarian and do not cook in the oven that much, my 'routine' is to ignore it and then I use bicarb/vinegar if it needs a spruce up.

No way would I waste my life doing it every 8 weeks!

I use a dishwasher tablet, wet it and use it like you would a sponge.

I generally just move house 💁‍♀️

Yep, I pay for someone to come and clean the ovens once a year. Money very well spent.

I usually buy a new one

I haven't thought about this but what a good idea.

How much are these oven cleaning people (hope it's not rude to ask)?
I've looked some up locally and the adverts are very coy about money.

@LaMarschallin - mine is £80 for a single oven including grill pan. SE England

I pay someone. Ends up looking brand new!

I have the man from OVENU once a year to clean ours. I have absolutely no intention of cleaning mine. He does an excellent job.

Mine is 'husband the oven needs cleaning', I clean the shelves though because it's really satisfying. We do have a liner now, definitely a good idea.

Does the door not get splattered in between if the man comes once a year?

We have a roast every week which inevitably makes a mess. It didn't used to bother me but it does now.

It's such a thankless job because no sooner you clean it it's dirty again but maybe I just need to go back to my old ways.

£40 for a single oven professional clean and worth every penny imo

For professional cleaning …..It’s gone up massively round my way used to be under fifty quid for a standard oven excluding hob but now I think is £75 ish. But it’s a luxury worth paying IMO.

I do this one the door it takes forever though. The racks don't come up like new without oven pride.

Then as soon as you clean it it's dirty again.

I guess that's just the way it goes.
