oven cleaning - worth paying someone to do it?!

[jacquiB]

i'm thinking about paying someone to deep clean my oven (my most hated job). has anyone used a company to do this and what is a ballpark figure for the cost?

yes i have
worth every single penny
iirc it was £65 including cooker hood, grill trays (one fo our grill trays was so bad he took it away and brought it back the next day) and hob

can i add, i didnt let cooker get in this mess we inherited cooker etc when we bought house !

we used Cookerburra

I found a link on the net about putting a paste of baking soda on it overnight and it coming up clean without rubbing, you'll have to look it up as I can't remember.. might have been washing soda in fact..

I've had a quote from OvenU of over £100 (due to size and model of oven) but have decided that its worth it. Baby number 2 due in 4 days so what the heck, i've just spent all morning cleaning/nesting but couldn't quite bring myself round to the oven ...........
