old style way to clean oven?

I use Oven Cleaner from Lakeland Plastic. It is fantastic and does not have that horrible chemical smell. I would definately recommend it

What is the best way to clean my oven? It hasnt been cleaned since I moved in two years ago. Any old style remedies or should I just resort to chemicals?

Have a look at the sticky Mega Index thread - scroll down to oven and you will see plenty of tips there.
Get out the bi-carb and vinegar or lemon juice by the looks of things - and arm yourself with a scrubber!

I find that the OH makes an excellent oven cleaner ... failing that I resort to one of those little wirery metal scourers for the metal shelves

just leave it - it isn't going to do any harm - its hot in there

maybe that is the man in me coming out - but i have never had a day off work ill in 15 years i don't do coughs and colds. everything is too sanitised these days.

Maybe you and MrBadExample should get together and do your own house cleaning thread - LOL!

my last post did sound a bit bad
but i do think that these days people are ill/allergic to most things because everything is oversanitised. a little bit of dirt does no harm.

i can hear the shrieks now - no - i'm not lazy or dirty - but i'm healthy - and i would like to think i'm quite bright - i have a degree and a PhD - both worthless now long story

maybe me and MrBAdExample would get on - but i do have standards

No way did your post sound bad, I just thought it fun and laddish - sorry in advance for any sexism here. However, totally agree with you on oversanitisation, bit of dirt does no harm at all.

not been called laddish for a while - i'm 34

Hope you took that as a compliment then G!

Back to original topic though..........
When cleaning oven doors (I have inner and outer ones), I lay newspapers on floor underneath to catch all the drips to save recleaning the floor.
