Why oven cleaning is so difficult

Ovens accumulate grease and burnt food over time. The high cooking temperatures bake these deposits onto surfaces, making them increasingly difficult to remove with standard household cleaners.

Common problem areas include:

  • Inside the oven cavity and door glass
  • Oven racks and shelves
  • Grill pan and racks
  • Hob burners and grates
  • Extractor hood and filters
  • Splashbacks behind the hob

Left too long, burnt-on grease becomes carbonised and extremely stubborn. Regular cleaning prevents this build-up.

How we clean ovens and hobs

Oven and hob cleaning is included in our deep cleaning and end of tenancy cleaning services. Our approach:

  • Remove all removable parts

    Racks, shelves, grates, and grill pans come out for separate cleaning

  • Apply professional degreasers

    We use effective products that break down burnt-on grease safely

  • Allow dwell time

    Products need time to work on stubborn deposits

  • Scrub and wipe clean

    Manual effort removes loosened grease and residue

  • Clean glass panels

    Including between double-glazed oven doors where possible

  • Reassemble and check

    Everything goes back correctly and works as expected

Time and expectations

Oven cleaning takes time. A heavily soiled oven can take 1-2 hours as part of a larger clean. We factor this into our quotes.

We are realistic about outcomes:

  • Most ovens can be restored to a good, clean condition
  • Very old or damaged enamel may have permanent staining
  • Burnt-on carbon that has been there for years may leave some marks
  • We clean to a high standard but cannot make old appliances look new

Oven cleaning for end of tenancy

The oven is one of the most scrutinised items during inventory checkout. Letting agents and inventory clerks will check inside the oven, grill, and extractor.

If your oven is not clean at checkout, you may face deposit deductions. Our end of tenancy cleaning includes thorough oven cleaning as standard.
