Oven Cleaning
Our 8-Stage Professional Oven Cleaning Process
1. Inspection / Survey
When we arrive for your oven cleaning, we start with a thorough check of your appliance to ensure everything’s in working order. We’ll inspect the fan, controls, seal, fixings, and bulb housing to make sure there are no issues that might affect your oven’s performance.
If we spot anything that may need attention, we’ll let you know before any cleaning begins. This way, you’re always in the know and can make informed choices about the care of your appliance, giving you peace of mind and a clean, efficient oven ready to go.
2. Preparation
Oven cleaning can be a messy job—no surprise there! But rest assured, we take every step to protect the areas and items around your appliance. Before we begin, we lay down dust sheets and protective coverings to shield your floors, counters, and cabinets from any splashes or drips.
This way, you get a sparkling clean oven without any added mess to worry about. It’s all about giving you a stress-free experience with a focus on cleanliness and care, so your kitchen stays just as spotless as your freshly cleaned oven.
3. Racks, fan and bulb
We start by carefully removing the bulb cover, fan cover, fan, racks, and rack holders, preparing them for a thorough dip clean. Each part gets individual attention to ensure a deep, effective clean. However, every oven is unique—some models have parts like the fan or rack holders that can’t be removed. In those cases, we clean each piece thoroughly right inside the oven, making sure nothing is overlooked.
This way, whether removable or not, every part of your oven receives the highest level of cleaning, leaving it fresh, spotless, and ready for action.
4. Dipping
Once we’ve carefully removed the parts, we take them to our van and place them in our state-of-the-art dip tank, heated to the ideal temperature. This process makes quick work of even the most stubborn carbon build-up, leaving your oven components spotless.
For any items that can’t be dipped, don’t worry—we’ve got specialised methods to ensure every piece is cleaned to perfection. It’s all about delivering a thorough, safe, effective clean so your oven looks and performs its best.
5. Clean Inside the Oven
Next, we gently warm the inside of your oven, making it easier to loosen stubborn grease and grime. This step is key to ensuring a deep, thorough clean that reaches every corner. Once we’re satisfied that it’s spotless, we’ll rinse the interior not just once, but twice.
This double rinse guarantees that no cleaning residue is left behind, so you’re left with a fresh, perfectly clean oven that’s ready to use right away.
6. Door Stripped
Where possible the door is stripped down to get to the inside glass, some doors have 2 panels and some 3.
The door is usually removed at this process and the grease gulley is also cleaned. The glass is given a good clean before putting back together and the door re fixed.
7. Finishing touches
To finish, we meticulously wipe down and dry every inch of your oven, inside and out, ensuring it’s left gleaming. For ovens with stainless steel elements, we apply a specialised stainless steel oil that leaves a flawless, streak-free finish.
This final touch not only enhances the shine but gives your appliance that pristine, showroom-quality look—making it a joy to use and admire.
8. Tidy up and checks.
After carefully tidying up all protective sheets and cleaning equipment, we complete a final, thorough inspection of your oven to make sure every component is back in place and functioning perfectly. We even heat the oven briefly to check for any overlooked cleaning residue, ensuring it’s safe, spotless, and ready for immediate use.
This attention to detail means you can get right back to cooking with an oven that looks, feels, and works like new.

Why Get Your Oven Cleaned?
Let’s face it—oven cleaning isn’t exactly fun. It’s tough, it’s messy, and often means dealing with strong chemicals. However, avoiding a deep clean can lead to real problems that affect both your meals and your oven’s health.
Think about it: every time you cook, food residue—especially from things like roast dinners—spatters onto the sides, grills, and base of your oven. Over time, these bits of leftover food don’t just stay there; they burn, create smoke, and can even alter the flavour of future meals.
And it’s not just about taste. That burnt-on grime harbours germs, which can easily spread to your next meal, affecting the food you and your family enjoy.
There’s also the health of the oven itself to consider. When residue builds up around the fan, filters, and other parts, it can make your oven work harder than it needs to. This lowers its efficiency and can even lead to mechanical issues or a costly breakdown.
A regular, professional deep clean keeps your oven running smoothly, prevents unwanted flavours, and ensures a cleaner, safer environment for cooking. In the long run, this simple maintenance can even extend the life of your oven, saving you from pricey replacements.
Does your oven look like this?
Aesthetics
Imagine inviting friends or family over for a meal, only to have them catch a glimpse of a greasy, smoky oven. Keeping your oven clean isn’t just about hygiene and safety—it’s about maintaining the pride you take in your kitchen’s appearance. A clean oven looks fresh and inviting, helping your kitchen feel polished and well-cared-for, while a grimy one can bring down the whole room’s aesthetic.
Over time, layers of grease and burnt-on food can cloud the oven’s glass door, leaving it streaked and murky. Instead of a clear view of what’s cooking, you’re left with a cloudy, unpleasant sight that feels less appetising. Those shiny metal surfaces? They lose their lustre under layers of grime, detracting from the visual appeal of your kitchen.
By keeping your oven consistently clean, you ensure it stays in line with the rest of your kitchen’s cleanliness and charm. Whether you’re hosting or just enjoying a quiet meal, a spotless oven is a small but impactful detail that can make your kitchen feel like a space you’re truly proud of.

FAQs: Everything You Need to Know About Professional Oven Cleaning
1. Do I need professional oven cleaners, or can I tackle it myself with some elbow grease?
While a bit of elbow grease can help maintain your oven, there’s only so much it can do for stubborn stains and burnt-on food residues. Professional oven cleaners have specialised equipment, such as dip tanks, that can tackle layers of burnt grease and food spills without damaging the oven itself. This thorough cleaning not only keeps your oven looking great but also extends its life and improves its performance.
2. My oven is a self-cleaning model. Do I still need a professional oven cleaning service?
Yes, even self-cleaning or pyrolytic ovens benefit from professional cleaning. These ovens do a good job of burning off loose food and residue, but they can’t handle every nook and cranny, and they often leave ash that requires careful removal. Our deep cleaning services reach areas your self-cleaning function can’t, ensuring your oven stays spotless and safe.
3. What types of ovens do you clean?
We clean all types of ovens, from single and double ovens to pyrolytic self-cleaning ovens, stainless steel ovens, and commercial ovens. Each type of oven requires its own approach, and our oven cleaning specialists are trained to handle each model safely and effectively, using biodegradable products that are gentle on your appliance but tough on grease and grime.
4. Do you offer cleaning for all parts of the oven, like racks, shelves, and liners?
Absolutely. Our professional oven cleaning service includes a full clean of oven racks, shelves, and liners. We even remove the light bulbs and clean around them to ensure every area of your oven is spotless. For removable parts, we use a dip tank cooker cleaning method to soak away stubborn grease and grime, restoring your oven accessories to their original shine.
5. What’s the advantage of using a professional oven cleaning service instead of a store-bought cleaner?
Store-bought cleaners often fall short with tough, burnt-on food residues, especially in greasy ovens. Professional cleaning goes much deeper, reaching into the smallest crevices, which results in better-tasting food as there’s no lingering odour from burnt grease or old spills. Plus, we use eco-friendly products that protect your oven’s interior and your health, while a typical commercial oven cleaner can be too harsh.
6. Can you help with greasy ovens and ovens with stubborn burnt grease?
Yes, greasy ovens and stubborn burnt grease are our speciality. Our cleaning solutions dissolve the toughest burnt-on residues, leaving your oven looking and smelling fresh. By removing this build-up, you’ll notice not only a cleaner oven but also better performance and more even cooking, with no risk of smoke or burnt tastes.
7. What if my oven has a unique finish, like stainless steel?
We have the right tools and expertise to handle all finishes, including stainless steel. Our team takes extra care with finishes to avoid scratches or damage. We use a special stainless steel cleaner at the end of the process to leave your appliance gleaming, free of streaks, and protected.
8. Are your cleaning products safe, and do they leave any residue?
We use biodegradable products that are safe for your family and pets. Our deep cleaning method includes thorough rinsing, ensuring no residue is left behind. This makes our service ideal for homes, where food quality and safety matter, as well as for commercial ovens that need to meet health standards.
9. Are you insured if anything goes wrong during the cleaning process?
Yes, we carry full Public Liability Insurance, so you can have complete peace of mind. While we take the utmost care with every appliance, our insurance ensures that you’re covered for any unexpected issues.
10. How often should I book a deep cleaning for my oven?
For the best results and to keep your oven in top shape, we recommend a professional clean every 6–12 months, depending on how frequently you use it. Regular cleaning extends the life of your oven, keeps it efficient, and prevents stubborn build-up, ensuring you get the most out of every meal.
11. What’s included in a deep oven clean?
Our deep cleaning service covers everything—from your oven racks, shelves, and oven liner to the fan, door, and light bulbs. Each part is carefully cleaned, including a soak in our dip tank for removable parts. The result is a complete clean that leaves your oven looking and performing like new.
12. Will my oven be ready to use immediately after the clean?
Yes, your oven will be ready to go as soon as we finish. We heat the oven before leaving to ensure no cleaning residues remain, so you can enjoy a fresh, clean oven straight away.
