Can't get to muck to side of cooker

thesqueezedmiddle

Hi!

I moved into my flat 7 months ago, and the last tenant left a lot to be desired in the cleaning department. Anyway, I've kept my little flat shiny and sparkly... apart from this damn bit to the side of the oven which I just can't get to! The unit is completely fitted and sealed up against the wall and worktop, so I can't even physically move the oven to clean to the sides. This one side I can't even fit my mop into (not even hoover nozzle) but I can visibly see some horrible cooking stuff than has fallen down the side and obviously been there some time.

Any ideas for a very narrow cleaning product/device that I could use? I was thinking of buying a cheap feather duster which would fit, spraying it with cleaner, and getting most of the stuff off but I don't know how effective that would be against gunk that's been there for a good while.

Appreciate it! I'm a proud housekeeper so having this little bit I can't get to really irritates me !

How about a radiator brush or a bottle washing brush?

Get a saw like this:

Then, wrap a cloth around it (maybe an old tshirt) and put it in BLUNT SIDE DOWN so that none of the teeth cut anything then rub until clean.

Just an idea!

You can extend the reach by attaching it to a bit of dowling, if necessary.

Radiator brush sounds like a grand idea! I'll give that a go thank you.

Not sure if the saw would reach as far as I need it but that's another suggestion to consider!

Thanks for the quick replies
