To clean the shelves (and any other removable bits), put them in your bath with some biological washing powder and enough hot water to cover them. Leave overnight. Next morning, the grime will wipe off.

I promise it works.

If it's really gross and you can't face it, why not phone up Ovenu? Beofre I read about the washing powder stuff, I had Ovenu come out and they did a superb job at a very reasonable price.

You can then maintain the cleanliness as described.

I'm not affiliated with them in any way, just thought they did a really good job.

To clean the oven itself rather than use some of those nasty chemicals use Astonish Oven and stainless steel cleaning paste (about 1.99 from Wilkos and Semi-Chem, in large white tub). A good dollop of this worked round with a damp sponge and then wiped off will work a treat. I use this as I have asthma and find traditional oven cleaner too harsh.

Brillo pads and marigolds... I tell you nothing shifted the stuff in my oven , chemical or OS stylee... but good old brillo and warm water had it off in a jiffy

I know it's not very moneysaving, but I'll second the OvenU recommendation. My mum's used them a couple of times and been very happy with the cost and the results.

Just cleaned mine this weekend and used some stuff from Lakeland. IT's supplied with a brush and you do need rubber gloves on but there was no strong smell. I hadn't cleaned mine for ages, in fact can't remember when I last cleaned it :eek: but it looks really good now. The stuff is here http://www.lakeland.co.uk/product.aspx/!4972.

Hi shinehappy,

We have a recent thread on oven cleaning so I've merged your thread with it to keep all the suggestions together.

This thread may help too: Soaking oven racks..help please!

Tried the steam cleaner, no good. Yes shelves come up a treat in the dishwasher.

I didn't do anything...that's the problem.

Used to have one of those oven liners that you could just wash. Can't seem to find them in the shops now.

Making me feel guilty now. Does anyone clean their oven after every use???

If you mean the sort that sits on the bottom of the oven, Lakeland sell one. Cut to size. Mine is brill, it's the rest of the oven I'm ashamed of
