Has anyone any recommendations? I know there is one that advertises in the Mercury but has anyone used them?

I have used Ovenclean - a franchised business. I used the Little Berkhampstead couple - older lady and her husband. They did a great job, and charged about £30 I think. She's a lovely lady - doesn't mince her words though. I don't think my oven had ever been cleaned in 15 years [:I] and her comment on opening it was "BLOODY hell". But she got it looking like new. I will use them again.

I used The Oven Cleaning Company. Great Job. They remove the doors and 'dip' them. About £30 aswell.

I cannot believe that you would spend £30 for someone to clean your ovens, when a strong cleaner like Oven Pride costs about £6.00 and a bit of elbow grease (free) It just melts off the grease and the shelves can be put into a bag supplied, so very little mess.

I didn't want to go there... well worth £30! I guess I could have built my own bathrooms too, eh, Furrybunny [;)] As regards hygiene... well, the oven temperature is so hot each time you use it there is no chance for bacteria. My meat is always cooked covered, and I do line the bottom of the oven with foil. Besides, my family have a very strong constitution, all thanks to my being very careful not to over-clean, and use too many products.

For us: don't want to and we've got two of them. The Lakeland cooker bottom liners are great but the allegation that they can go in the dishwasher and come out clean and sparkly is yet to be proved as ours came out the same as it went in. The top (6 burners) is a gawd-awful state and my mum comes and does it for us when she makes it across the country. She "forgot" on her last visit... honestly!![:0][:D][:I]

I look after the pennies which means I can afford the pounds to pay someone to clean my oven [8D]
