2009 Omlet cube and run for sale

[ebaygirl]

Hi Oh knowledgeable Omleteers

 

How much does it cost to have an oven professionally cleaned? We are moving in 2 weeks time and the oven is staying here. I hate cleaning it but feel it would be a nice gesture to have it done really well (at least once in its life!) but I'm wary of spending a fortune when there are so many other more pressing costs associated with moving house.

 

Many thanks

I have had it done once and have a feeling it cost £70

[Olly]

Think I paid around £60 a couple of years ago. Well worth it.

 

It was the ONLY thing in my house that hadn't been cleaned/repaired/painted when I moved in - so I didn't bear a grudge against the previous owners!

[ebaygirl]

Thanks CM and Olly. That's really helpful.

I would depend on where you live & the size of the cooker - ranges are going to cost more.

I have a range & mine is usually about £90,I think .

I get it done just once a year & it is well worth it

 

Best to Google it really,& get some quotes.

Had mine done a couple of weeks ago it is a double and was I am ashamed to say filthy! It was £60 but with the new bulb nearly £70. We were told it was a self cleaner(not sure if they really exist) but its not! Well thats my excuse.

 

The guy took a couple of hours and did a fantastic job, first time I ever had it done(no wonder it was filthy). Looks brand new now

I get mine done once a year. It is a double oven, and I pay around £100, inc hood.

I never realised that there were people that would clean your oven

Next thing is having people to do your spring cleaning.............

I could think of so many other ways to spend that sort of money......you lot must have money to throw away.

I must admit to being tempted a couple of times, but I am always worried that they will break something then I will have to spend considerably more on a new oven. I would rather get the Oven Mate out and spend a couple of hours spucing it up from time to time than spend more than a days wages getting someone else to do it.

 

Self cleaning oven only work if you use high temperatures regularly, my oven has stayed much cleaner since I started cooking bread regularly. I also wipe out the inside with a cloth after cooking a roast while the oven is still warm which removes a lot of the grease very quickly and stops a build up.

That is really helpful to have it all broken down like that, thank you. Having totted up the costs I think the new owners may have to make do with my elbow grease - I can't afford to be that nice to them!

 

Thanks to all who have replied.

We used Ovenclean - they are local (franchise I think it is). My cooker needed an engineer and no way was I going to let him see my dirty ovens! It cost us £80 and OH gave him a little extra as he worked really hard - he even fixed one of the doors for me! Hopefully I will remember to clean it more often so won't have to use them, but this guy was good.

Me too, I just give it a quick clean most times I use it. It's never been so bad that I needed to give it a deep clean.

I think that I used the same ones. Worth every penny for me as I HATE cleaning ovens! Having said that, it was very embarrassing to hear him chipping the gunk off!

[sadietoo]

Wow!!...people who will clean your oven...

 

I use the liner from Lakeland and my steam cleaner and keep on top of ours mostly..that said we are vegetarian so no roast dinners helps.....

 

However, I really would like someone who would come in every night and clean the hob!!!!

[TheGirlsMum]

My man is here now......and he didn't suck in through his teeth so I think that's quite a good sign.

[Cinnamon]

My people do my extractor hood & microwave too

[TheGirlsMum]

He has now said "It's quite carboned up, did it smoke?"

 

not feeling so good now but I wouldn't have had him here to clean it if it wasn't dirty now would I?

[Valkyrie]

Did you say "no because it was bad for it's health"!
