Rangemaster splashbacks

Does anybody have one of Rangemaster's black splashbacks? If so, how easy are they to clean? I'm thinking that they will be easier to clean than tiles, but will show marks more?

I have a rangemaster and white tiles - i don't seem to have many splashback issues

I have recently had the Rangemaster Toledo and have a silver glass splashback. I don't find it difficult to clean, just general flash type cleaner then a bit of glass cleaner to get the shine.

I chose a glass splash as I has white tiles in the old kitchen and the grout got so grubby no matter how often I cleaned it.

I am trying to choose between the normal tiles that I'm having for a splashback elsewhere in the kitchen, and the Rangemaster splashback - I love the look of the Rangemaster one but it's pretty pricey and I can imagine the black one getting covered in grease/food splatters etc. and looking pretty ropey unless it's kept spotless (and I'm not a spotless kind of girl ) I'm having the black chimney hood with the oven so the black splashback would kind of set it off nicely... hmm, decisions, decisions...

I'd love to see the kind of cooking you do to get so much splashing everywhere . I'm pretty messy and work almost full time so cleaning not high on the agenda , but a quick wipe w jif/cif and a damp cloth sorts out any tile issues for me!

funkeypea, I don't mean an out-of-the-ordinary mess, I just mean the odd grease splatters you get when frying, that sort of thing. And it's not everywhere, it's just around the hob. Surely you get marks on the tiles near the hob? Things like tomato sauces are the worst - maybe you just don't do anything that needs boiling

Maybe we're talking at cross-purposes. I've got a glass lid to my rangemaster (don't they all have that now - safety gas cut-off?) - is that what you mean by splashback? Any real splashing hits the underside of the glass lid and doesn't make it to the tiles - hence there's no problem. I was lucky - inherited a brand new rangemaster when I moved house - and got the tiles too - no decisions to be made for me

My new Rangemaster (only had it a month) doesn't have a glass lid; I think it depends on the individual product.

like tibni says, they don't all have glass lids - the one I'm getting doesn't. The splashback I mean is a big, black sheet of enamel (about a metre square?) that sits on the wall behind the oven, so you can have that instead of tiling the wall. So as there will be nothing between the hob and the wall, I'm wondering which would be easier to clean out of tiles or the black enamel sheet. The enamel sheet looks fantastic but is pretty pricey and would probably show every little mark... lucky you inheriting a Rangemaster!! Mind you, I can't complain as mine is being bought for me :-)

I've got a stainless steel backsplash behind my cooker and loads of people say it's a pain to keep clean - Personally I don't quite know why. get yourself an ecloth and use it damp on the splashback and it comes up beautifully. No effort, no nothing. Wuld assume black would be similar?

titchy · 16/04/2008 10:20

What's an ecloth Furball? We've got a stainless steel hob and it IS a pain to clean! Flash-type products leave it smeary, scrubbing (dh is a messy cook LOL) leave it looking scratched then you have to use lloads of kitchen roll to dry it off again and it smells metally....

Furball · 16/04/2008 11:24

where have you been in life to not know what an ecloth is?

Well truth be known I use similar to an ecloth called a 'power-rag' 4 quid in B & Q

if you don't have a B & Q near you you can get ecloths in most supermarkets these days but don't know how much they are. As I said use them slightly damp.

sorry mean't not
