Oven cleaning is not easy work, even if you have the right chemicals and machinary.

You will need an electrical soak tray. Which heats the chmical to a certain degee. you then place all of the oven racks and plates, grills into there while you are cleaning the oven - hob.

Becareful on aluminium most oven cleaning chemicals will blemish aluminium, some will even mark stainless steel.

you will also need to know what to do on self cleaning ovens... you cant always use chemicals as it damages the surfaces on these.

I wish you best of luck, but dont think its easy.. its not and wear extra long gloves that cover your arms, trust me its messy even on the cleanist ovens...

Get your self a good light, to shine inside the oven... to look for dirt, grease, chard food.


After a while you may think its not worth it.

Thanks for taking the time to post  I am put off really lol .  Cant you use steam to clean em ? 

[Pristine Clean]

yea £85 quid might sound alot, but it mesy, its hard.

Trust me I know... Ive cleaned a few. Yes you can use steam... but a good steam cleaner is expensive £1500 so that 15 jobs at £100 each before you even get any profit.

I know i would rather quote for a dust and mop office cleaning contract at just 2 hours a week... there will be more in it.


But dont let me put you off.... you can make good money at it if you have enough clients.

What is average time for cleaning oven ? Please 

[creweexcel]

at least  two hours, shortest time was one and a half hours,  to take ovens apart you need training , otherwise you can hit problems , putting back together wrong, etc,

[mr merson]

Thanks a lot for the advice guys

Very hard work and becoming very competitive. No way would you be able to charge £85 in the Newcastle area, £40 is more the norm.About 8 oven cleaning companies in this area.
