Expert Commercial & Office Cleaning in Barnstaple

About 2 hours for a single oven and upto 6-7 hours for a full range and gas hob. If any one tells you they can do the job in less time then they are cutting corners or only cleaning the easily visible baked on grease.

These fall into the two categories of caustic and biological cleaning solutions. For our professional oven cleaning service we use mainly biological cleaning agents and heat to soften the burnt on carbon and over cooked food. We would recommend NOT using caustic chemicals for both environmental, personal safety reasons as well as avoiding damaging your oven.

The enamel is easy to clean as are the oven shelves. The self cleaning panels can be a problem if clogged with grease. The only manufacturer recommended way of cleaning these is to burn off the grease and carbon to ash by leaving the oven on high heat.

Commercial oven cleaners tend avoid this for several reasons. Firstly it takes time to work properly, a few hours or over night. You can do this yourself with a bowl of diluted vinegar. Secondly, hand held steamer is too messy and ineffective.

Removing an oven door is usually pretty simple although there are many different mechanisms for different ovens. The user manual should explain this process. Some oven door glass sheets easily slide out from above, others have a removable retainer that hold them in. Many Smeg ovens have an attachment glued onto the glass which has to be popped off the main door, be very careful with these! Some glass is only toughened and heat treated on one side so putting it back the wrong way could lead to the glass shattering.
