Oven Mate Oven Cleaning Kit 500ml Twin Pack

Product Information

Unlike some other oven cleaners which require a lot of elbow grease and have a horrible, acrid smell, Oven Mate’s powerful, biodegradable cleaning formula removes even the most stubborn baked-on fat and oil with no need to scrub, and it’s odourless and fume-free too. Plenty of our Mumsnet users recommend getting your ovens professionally cleaned to get it looking brand new again. Getting a professional to do it will not only save you time and a lot of elbow grease, but will leave your oven shining like it did when you first bought it. It is not a dedicated oven cleaner as such (although Elbow Grease does have one) but it can be used to remove grease and food from glass and other oven parts, including your extractor fan and hobs. You may need to put a bit of - ahem - elbow grease into it and make sure to wear gloves and avoid breathing in the mist as it’s a powerful solution.

However, it did take almost an entire 750ml bottle to complete the process, leaving very little for our oven test. In the event, it did remove some of the oven’s lighter tarnishing but not as well as any of the bona fide oven cleaners listed above.
