Cleaning the oven is one of those chores everyone hates but it needs to be done. There’s no way you can avoid stains, spills or grease building up in the oven and that means it needs to be properly cleaned to remove them. On the surface, it is a simple DIY job, but this isn’t the whole story.

If the job is simply to mop up a little spilt gravy or wipe a stain from the racks, then there's no reason why you can't do this yourself. But when it comes to comprehensively cleaning the oven, there's a strong case to get a professional involved.

Let's take a look at the benefits of professional oven cleaning versus DIY-ing the job.

TOP REASONS A PROFESSIONAL OVEN CLEANING IS BETTER

There are definitely occasions when cleaning your oven yourself is a simple/ cheaper option. When something spills whilst cooking in the oven, if you can wipe it up as soon as the oven is cooled down, there’s less chance of it truly baking on and causing any problems with the appliance.  But the problem comes most of the time because we don’t realise there’s a spill, stain or debris in the oven - those slightly hidden parts you can't see unless you look properly.

Think about it, the oven is often used daily or even a few times a day and those stains become harder and more baked-on each time the oven is used. Now you are in the realm of needing serious equipment and cleaning products to remove the now really stubborn debris.

That's where a can a professional oven cleaner can handle the job. They offer a service that will handle all of the problems of baked-on food, stains, debris and everything the oven can throw at them. They have the cleaning systems and products needed to do a far better job.

OTHER REASONS TO HAVE A PROFESSIONAL OVEN CLEANING

While being easier and more comprehensive is a massive reason for having your oven cleaned by a professional versus doing it yourself, there are more reasons to consider. They are:

1. Cleans parts you can’t reach
   
2. Everything is put back together properly
3. Extends the lifespan of the oven
   
4. Avoids any harmful chemicals and choking smells
   
5. Protection if something does go wrong

BUT HOW DOES A PROFESSIONAL OVEN CLEANING WORK?

When you book a professional oven cleaning service, the work carried out depends on the oven you have (i.e style, size, manufacturer etc). But a few of the general tasks that will be involved include:

• Removing internal parts of the oven, such as the racks, to be cleaned
• Removing and cleaning the oven door thoroughly
• Removing the oven fan (if there is one) and the housing around it
• Cleaning the roof of the oven (prime place for food splatters)

There are also additional services you can have as part of the cleaning, depending on what you have in the kitchen. Extractor hoods and filters are examples of areas that definitely need cleaning and that you may want to include in the service.

Also, if you have a separate hob to the oven, you may want to have this cleaned at the same time. This means that everything stays in top condition and lasts the longest time.
