Oven Mate Oven Cleaning Kit 500ml Twin Pack

Product Information

Double-Headed Brush – with soft bristles on one end to paint on the gel, and a ‘toothbrush’ end for getting into nooks and crannies. To make cleaning easier next time, consider lining your oven with an oven liner to catch any spills and splashes. How we test oven cleaners If you’re not a fan of harsh chemicals in your cleaning products then there are some natural alternatives which Mumsnetters recommend for cleaning a grubby oven. Aim to clean your oven at least every three months, or whenever you notice burnt-on dirt accumulating. Smoke building up when you're baking is another sign that you need to dig out the oven cleaner. To use, simply open the lid, dip the supplied sponge into some warm water (rough side down) and swipe up some solution from the tub. Now work on the oven glass and interior and exterior surfaces using a circular motion. Leave for a few minutes before wiping off the solution with the smoother side of the sponge and, all being well, your oven should look as good as the day you bought it.

Ovens are one of the most-used appliances in our kitchens and perhaps, as a result, also the one we dread cleaning the most. Scrubbing at months (or years…?!) of baked-on food and grease is no-one's idea of fun, but with our range of hob and oven cleaners, we’re confident we can help take away some of the strain. This simple but mostly effective paste and sponge system from 40-year-old, UK-based Astonish does the job very well. However, it didn’t make that much impact on a heavily soiled oven door that had never been cleaned. And that’s hardly surprising since very few domestic cleaners are capable of removing burnt-in grease from a five-year-old oven door that has never seen a scourer. If your oven is plagued by grease and grime that won’t budge no matter how hard you scrub, then it’s time to bring in the big guns.

Failing that, try a combination of bicarbonate of soda and vinegar. The vinegar will provide natural acidity while the bicarbonate of soda focuses on getting right into the heart of the stain to loosen and lift it, so all you have to do is wash it off. How do you clean the glass on the oven door? Many steam cleaners claim they can be used for oven cleaning, and that might work if your oven is only very lightly soiled. When it comes to heavily stained glass and caked-on grime, however, it’s unlikely that a domestic steam cleaner will make the slightest impression. All you can expect to end up with is a pile of wet tea towels. Can you use third-party oven cleaners with any oven? It is not a dedicated oven cleaner as such (although Elbow Grease does have one) but it can be used to remove grease and food from glass and other oven parts, including your extractor fan and hobs. You may need to put a bit of - ahem - elbow grease into it and make sure to wear gloves and avoid breathing in the mist as it’s a powerful solution.

Boasting 100 percent grease removal, Cif’s Perfect Finish promises to transform dirty ovens in less than 30 minutes. Just apply the spray to the inside of your oven, to your grill or to your hob and then rinse. Job done. Cleaning the inside of AGAs, light and coloured metals, painted surfaces (including painted enamel) or self-cleaning ovens. We also recommend patch testing on stainless steel as this product may not be suitable for all stainless steel surfaces. Brillo pads have been around for over a century and they are still doing the business when it comes to cleaning. These versatile soap-filled, steel wool pads can remove the toughest of grease and baked-on dirt from ovens and grills and also leave oven doors sparkling.Beware this product can’t be used for cleaning inside agas, or on light and coloured metals, painted surfaces (including painted enamel) or self cleaning ovens. It’s also not suitable for all stainless steel surfaces. Start by taking a peek inside your pantry and selecting an old faithful: baking soda. A dash of this mixed in with some warm water will form a paste, which you can then smear over stains.

Expert guidance Lakeland’s Oven Mate is the go-to cleaning product for many Mumsnetters who can’t stand cooking in a grubby oven.This all-purpose spray cleaner can be used to remove grease on a whole range of surfaces, including fabrics, metals and plastics so if you have an oven door which needs a good clean, this could be the product for you. To get your oven door looking as good as new, gently lift off heavy dirt with a metal spatula or ceramic hob scraper before applying your oven cleaner. Some ovens allow you to remove the door entirely, which might make cleaning easier. Elbow grease spray is good though; might take a couple of goes.” (Vetted by Mumsnet user SnotMikeUpPuffedHe) Our verdict If you’re wondering how to clean a hob beyond the oft-recommended cider vinegar scrub, try soaking a large cloth in hot water, placing it on top of particularly tough areas of cooked-on food and leaving it for a few minutes to lift away the residue. Then use one of our specialist hob cleaner sprays to clean the surface and you should soon have a gleaming cooktop. Still not quite there? For deeply embedded dirt, team your hob cleaner spray with a hob scraper to remove those burnt-on bits you’re really battling with. Quality cooker cleaners The glass in the door comes up sparkly clean if you paint on the Lakeland Oven Mate with the brush provided. For really baked-on dirt a couple of applications may be necessary. It really works.” (Recommended by Mumsnet user pam290358)

Some oven manufacturers sell their own cleaning products, but there’s no evidence they’re any better than off-the-shelf supermarket products – and they often cost a premium. What about using a conventional steam cleaner? This Oven Cleaning Kit from Oven Mate comes with a 500ml bottle cleaning gel, impermeable gloves and an applicator brush that you can use together to restore your oven to new. The cleaning gel will remove even the most stubborn baked-on oil, fat and grease; with the added benefit of having no chemical smell.
