Lavenders_Blue Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Okay, I bought Oven Brite instead of Oven Pride (I was swayed by the price). I slathered the oven in the solution, put the shelves in the bag and chucked the rest of the solution in, gave it a good shake and left the whole lot to work overnight. It's got the worst of the muck off everything, but it's not spotless, so..... the shelves have gone back in the bag for a second soak and I've squirted Oven Mate all over the oven to get the rest of the muck off. My oven must have been exceptionally filthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lavenders_Blue Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Phew! That makes me feel much less slovenly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I did mine with a hand held steam cleaner!!! Fabulous.... I'm ashamed to say it was terrible, couldn't see through the glass at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Since reading this thread I've cleaned my cooker every day - not all of it just a different bit each day. Nice and gleamy, ungreasy cooker now and no work at all if I stick to doing a bit each day. I've even cleaned the fiddly bit in the seal. So, thanks for the thread and the ovenglove tip is inspired. The oven glove idea was born of laziness not inspiration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I wondered about a steamer. Is yours the type that does floors etc too? I think if I was going to fork out for one I'd want a multipurpose one. It'd be handy for doing the hard floors in the house - especially where the dog drags her raw meat round the kitchen floor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 We got this one. http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4068952.htm Didn't get a floor one as we can't use them on our floors... however the shower, cooker, hob and kitchen tiles look brill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Ooh, I hadn't thought about using it for cleaning the shower. That's my second most hated job after cleaning the oven! I might have to look into this a bit more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
