The bath and bio soap powder in very hot water worked great for me - as recommended by Kim and Aggie on HCIYH.

Mine were really bad so left them overnight. Little bit of scrubbing needed where the 'across bits meet the side bits' but that was all. AND they are still gleaming cos now I do it regularly :rolleyes: .

I've used Oven Pride in the past and didn't find that it got all the bits off and my shelves weren't actually that bad to be honest as I like to keep them shining whenever possible.

I think I'll try the bath and bio suggestion, sounds really good.

Thanks

For anybody trying the 'bio in the bath' method - it may be worthwhile pointing out that if you are particular about your bath (ie not wanting to scratch it with the metal shelves) it may be an idea to put a couple of old teatowels in the bottom of the bath before putting the shelves in

i only have non bio, would this work?

(whats the difference ?)

Olliebeak

I think it needs to be biological - something to do with the enzymes that eat away the grease and gunk.

I also use the dishwasher - on hottest setting it is good and what does not come off just wipes off when still hot from machine - then do them once a week with the normal dishwashing lot

Be careful with the oven pride.
i followed the instrustions to the letter and it stripped off the stainless steel coating on my grill tray. i was not best pleased i can tell you.

WOW

went to sainsburys and picked up a box of the own brand bio pwder for 50p, but some int he bath with hot water, added oven racks, 1/2hr later went to check and the gunk is floating round the bath, gave them a quick scrub with and old pot brush and i could see the metal underneath, and it was shiny!

gonna leave them a bit longer then give them a proper scrub, im guessing the old tenants never cleaned them, wish id cheked this out a few months ago when we moved in

LoLo

please does anyone have any ideas or tips on how to clean the racks in the oven? I have left it quite a while between cleans and am finding it difficult to get the racks clean. Any tips appreciated. Thanks
