Is it OK to pop my head in and ask a quick question of all you cleaning experts? I have filthy oven to get cleaned and the bit that has me stumped is the inside top bit (the ceiling, behind the heating element). How on earth do I clean behind there? Do I dab on Oven Pride type cleaning fluid and try and wipe it off or remove the heating element and just get stuck in? If so, is it easy to remove??


What do you all do??

I pay someone else to do it


But oven pride/oven pride/astonish paste splodged on and wiped with kitchen roll was my previous method

Remove the heating element as the solutions can corrode it it and they fail a few weeks after. We leant this from the oven cleaner!

I've never cleaned top or the back panel of my oven. Can I do top with steam cleaner without removing anything?

Well, I haven't finished planting all my bulbs yet, but we have had a pleasant walk in the arboretum followed by a very nice lunch, and this afternoon I have tidied the front garden borders, with DH's help pulled out a young sycamore (about 4' tall), and cut back the kerria japonica that was threatening to take over the drive. Now I'm home alone because DH is frightening the kiddies on the heritage railway this evening.

Hope everyone has a peaceful night, unless you actually enjoy being frightened! I shall settle down with Autumnwatch and sew up the little jumper I finished last week.

Evening

We are home, and kiddies away to bed. It's all rather tidy here and we all have fresh beds. Wonder how long that will last!

I have a few bits to do tomorrow, including going up in the loft (will take Halloween bits up), a spot of ironing, a pile of sausages that need to be cooked, some homework time with the little ones, gift to wrap, card to make etc etc.

I want to test my smoke alarms too.

Tonight I'm going to try stay up a bit later. I feel tired as my sleep pattern is a bit mixed up, but I think going to bed early isn't necessarily helping. My coffee is decaf tonight...

I may file my nails and remove the old gel polish. They are all different lengths and frankly look grotty!

Hi everyone
Phew, busy BUSY family day out, lots of fun but v. tired now! Got home at gone 8pm, and need an early night now. Soooo nice to come home to a clean tidy bedroom - just a shame the rest of the house isn't like that!

I am going to make a nice organised to do list for tomorrow - it's a busy day (again!) and I'm taking the 2 youngest out for (another!) treat in the afternoon, and have friends over for dinner, so I need to be on the ball.
