old style way to clean oven?

Hi,

In rented accomodation and about to move out. Trying to clean oven tray and chrome shelf things (not sure whatthe proper name is!).

Any special tips or recommended products on how to sparkle clean? Have tried Mr Muscle oven cleaner but seems as if the fat/food is welded on!

  • Try a strong solution of washing soda crystals and leave to soak.

    Soak your chrome shelf in the bath overnight with washing powder and water. Mine came up gleaming after I did this.

    Try a brillo pad on the chrome, after it has been soaking for a while.:):):)

    I have tried to find a thread on this but have failed!

    Just had a new kitchen and yesterday had visitors and did a roast dinner. What is the best way to clean it? I tried the vinegar and water but it didn't seem to touch it.

    Your help would be appreciated.

    If you check out the Cleaning section of the MEGA Index sticky at the top of the forum listing there's help listed under "ovens" :)

    Once clean the very best OS advice is....

    give the oven a quick wipe after every use. You will never have scrape and clean to that extent again!!!
