From time to time we are asked to clean ovens in strange places. Sometimes in the garden, sometimes in the garage, sometimes in caravans and sometimes on the pavement believe it or not! Last week I cleaned an oven on a boat. The boat was moored up and did not sway like I thought it [...]

Oven cleaning in the elements.
From time to time we are asked to clean an oven in the garage or even the garden. Whilst we don’t mind obliging in the summer, we’re not quite so keen in the winter months! I cleaned an oven recently in a garden as the builders were in the process of fitting a new kitchen. [...]
Puzzling hob racks.
The most bizarre thing happened to me yesterday. I was cleaning an oven and hob in a property that was being prepared for a new tenant. I carried the racks to the van facing each other, as that prevents them from sliding all over the place when I carry them. I placed the enamel hob [...]
Door to door.
With all this lovely weather we have been blessed with recently its ideal for getting out of the office for a while to enjoy it. Not only do you get exercise which is free and fresh air, but it gives us chance to spread the word about Oven Ready through the medium of leaflets. Today I walked about [...]
Flexible Friends.
Last month we started using the chip and pin device to make payments easier for our customers. A lot of people prefer to pay by card as it means they don’t have to spend time hunting around the house for the chequebook and then filling it in. As this is a new concept for us, there [...]
Pestered by pets.
We encounter many pets on our visits to customers homes. They do love all the extra attention. We have found that some of our four legged friends do try and assist with the oven cleaning (must be the smell of all the burnt on roasts dinners). They sometimes try to eat what comes out of the [...]
Oh Bollards.
Whilst in a remote area looking for a house name I parked up next to a small triangle green as the sat nav was not being very helpful. I re-read my instruction to locate the property and realised that I had to do a sharp left to go up the hill and the property was [...]
To the rescue….
During the snow, we did try and accommodate some customers appointments but this was all dependant on their location. Obviously, the snow poses more a of threat to road users so our main concern is the safety of our drivers. One driver did manage to get some work in during this time. He was cleaning [...]
The big freeze.
The severely cold weather has caused us a lot of problems with our vans. The hose pipes that we use to spray down the oven shelves with are freezing up overnight. Our hosing is well lagged, in fact double lagged and has been sufficient in previous winters but the unexpectedly cold weather this year is [...]
It’s snow joke.
Yesterday and today we spent the day at home instead of cleaning ovens. As much as we dislike letting customers down, sometimes it is just not worth risking driving in 6 inches of snow. The consequences of having an accident would mean we would let down a lot more customers than 2 days worth. Not [...]
