Been thinking the same thing myself - and carpet cleaning. Just done an EOT quote and I had to sub-contract the carpet cleaning. I was amazed how much the carpet cleaner quoted and I will be interested to see how long it takes.

As for oven cleaning, I regularly get asked to do it and I turn it down. Am I throwing away easy money?

[The Great One]

Most oven cleaners I have spoken to are booked 3-6 months in advance, this is due to repeat customers, as when you clean the oven you rebook it in, so after a while you are always booked.

This is 100% right ,,,,after 6 months you have no need to go out and find work as it comes to you !

im thinking of getting into oven cleaning too.

 what chemicles are best for it to do it fast, but well?

[Alan Rowley]

im thinking of getting into oven cleaning too.
How much could you charge for a single oven/ double oven? I wouldnt know where to star with the priceing

... and what equipment would be needed. Any idea on set-up costs for an oven cleaning business?

[Richy L]

i know someone was selling the start up pack for about £650. but it seems steep to me

[Jonny jones]

yes 650 is a bit steep, but taking into account that you could easily do 10 in a week for about 45 quid,  you can easily get that back in a month and easily be in profit in 6 months.

i have found a fabricator that will make those dip tank thing for me, all i need now is a picture or diagrams on how to do it,  and if possible HINT HINT  ,   the mothod and the chenicals needed


thanx jonny

 i started oven cleaning about two months ago ,and nearly didnt bother ,im glad i did it is a perfect  add on ,,im a carpet cleaner myself but have been doing more ovens than carpets over xmas .
 got my gear 2nd hand for£250 and charge about £45 for a free stander full works, it can take upto 2 hrs ,some less but it fills up the spare slots nicely and its not as horrible  as it sounds, if a kit could be got for £650 then i reckon it would be well worth it

[Richy L]

but what could you be buying for £650? just chemicals and wipes, etc?

[cleanandshine]

For £650 YOU  get Large Gas Burners all the tanks chemicles for 2 years and lots more

this same package was being sold on here 2 years ago for £900

yes 650 is a bit steep, but taking into account that you could easily do 10 in a week for about 45 quid,  you can easily get that back in a month and easily be in profit in 6 months

I know you can clean 3 to 4 first cleans aday at around £55.00,,then when you do recleans at around £45.00 you can do around 5 to 6 so lots of money to be had  .

[Richy L]

how do most people go around getting business for this type of thing then? leaflets? door knocking? Yell?

[cleanandshine]

you get company cards done up and put them in every cafe where u live ,,,also leaflets work as well ,also word of mouth works

[Richy L]

you're the guy selling the kits eh?

[cleanandshine]

you can email me at cleanandshinemk@aol.com and il pass you the phone number,,,  also you can also save £75.00 of the £650 price

[Jonny jones]

you have email cleanandshine

[Richy L]

with all this crappy weather i'll keep onto my pennies at the moment. But it is something i will definately look into more.

[Jonny jones]

thnx clean,  i got your email,  can you email me with whats included in the price

thanx jonny

[Richy L]

...actually i wouldnt mind a break down of all thats included too please

Hi,
Just a query. Is this work domestic or is it mostly commercial, ie cafe's etc. I couldn't see folk around here (Fife, Scotland). paying £45 for a clean oven,
