Ryobi leave us in the dark.

The Ryobi CFP-180FM Flourescent Light is a great tool when cleaning ovens. It illuminates the whole oven allowing us to see exactly what needs to be cleaned. It provides more light than the standard oven bulb and also means we can turn the oven off at the wall. This prevents the oven tripping should we [...]

Avalanche oven cleaner.

This week we experimented with a product called Avalanche Oven Cleaner. It is non-toxic and designed for domestic and industrial use. We tried it on two domestic ovens only, located in our garage. One was very dirty with well baked on carbon and the other was of average dirtiness equivalent to 6 months of grease [...]

Dirtbusters oven cleaning paste.

We tested this product recently on two different ovens located in our garage. The product is similar to the product we currently use but has a courser cutting action. Both ovens were bladed and then the paste applied. We got straight to work cleaning the oven as there is no waiting time like some products. [...]

Cleaning ‘Self-Cleaning’ ovens.

Most self cleaning ovens contain liners made from a pyrolytic material. Depending on the oven there may be a cycle to run for a few hours which then heats the oven up in an attempt to disintegrate any carbon residue on these liners. Other ovens do not have this function and are designed to self-clean [...]

Microfiber cloths.

Where would we be without Microfiber cloths? They are superb for the final touch when cleaning an oven and glass door. Normal cotton cloths sometimes leave behind small particles inside the oven, but these cloths finish the job off nicely, removing anything that is loose. We also use them to remove any sticky residue on [...]

Cleaning an oven with Baking Soda.

Baking Soda also known as Sodium Bi-Carbonate mixed with water and lemon or vinegar is a popular method amongst many households for attempting to clean an oven. This process involves warming the oven to approximately 100c and then applying the solution liberally all around the oven and then leaving overnight. It is a slow method [...]

Wire Brushes.

We use these on a regular basis. They are great at cleaning around intricate parts such as alluminium hob burners in combination with wire wool. They are aslo good at cleaning behind elements inside the oven where the element enters the back of the oven as it is very difficult to clean stubborn dirt behind [...]

How do I keep my oven clean?

There is an answer to this question but you’re not going to like it! The only way to keep your oven permanently clean is to wipe it around with a sponge and soapy water after each use. Obviously this is not always practical as you probably want to eat the food you have just cooked. [...]

Testing seaweed products.

We recently tested a new product in an attempt to improve our ecological profile. The products main ingredient was sea weed and is designed to be used in the dip tank as a degreaser and also as a solution to be applied in ovens. The solution was added to our dip tank and heated upto [...]

You’ve been foiled!

We see a lot of ovens that are cracked at the base after customers have placed aluminium foil there to prevent the oven floor getting dirty. Sometimes the foil has even congealed into the base of the oven and cannot be removed. We do not believe it is a good idea to place foil at [...]
