    My mother in law gets ammonia from the chemists and leaves it in the oven overnight in a bowl of hot water to begin with, next morning all she has to do is wipe the muck off and wash down the racks with warm soapy water.

    Same as karen24...OVENPRIDE without doubt is the best on the market!

    Throw all of the shelves into the bag, stick some Ovenpride in and leave overnight.

    No scrubbing in the oven, spread it all over, just leave it on overnight, sorted!

    i used ReNew Ovens to clean my oven when i moved into our new house as thepeoplewe had bought off had left it so disgusting even i didnt want to tackle it! (actually i cried when i saw it but thats another story!!)

    £67 paid for oven,hob and extractor hood to be cleaned. Best money ive ever spent!

    You can clean the shelves etc by putting them in a bath or big bowl with hot water and biological washing powder, leave it overnight and then the next morning the grime will have either fallen off or will need a very soft rub with a brush or cloth

    thanks everyone, the shelves arent that dirty, just a bit discoloured, they come up nice in the dishwasher

    its the bottom and the door. checked the small oven earlier, its like its just come out the showroom, except with some toast crumbs on the grill tray, i never use it!
  • Put some baking spuds in the oven, cook them and then turn the oven off.

    Let then spuds steam up the oven and then give it a good wipe over, lots of grime will come off.

    We found this out a few years ago by accident!
