Your oven does a lot of heavy lifting when it comes to your daily cooking, which is why it demands routine maintenance. It's inevitable that they accumulate grease, spilt foods and general food particles. However, the amount of food spillage and grease that accumulates in the unit really depends on the individuals using the oven, what they’re cooking and how often they use the oven. This makes putting a time frame on cleaning your oven quite difficult, because some ovens may be used more frequently than others, whilst different foods are used as well.

When should you clean your oven?

It's a good idea to clean your oven at least every 12 weeks or whenever you notice stains of burnt food or grime collecting within the appliance. The more you use the oven, the more you clean it. Plan on cleaning your oven every two weeks if the oven is constantly being used to cook large family dinners as spilled food and odours can occur and that's a last chance sign that you need to clean your oven more often.  Here's a list of the top reasons to keep your oven clean.

How can I keep my oven clean?

The best way to prevent grease and food spillages building up is to give the oven a quick wipe down after each use. For example, if you’ve been frying and you can see fat and grease on the hobs, it’s best to give them a wipe down as soon as you can (when it's cooled down to avoid burning yourself). It's the same for the inside of your oven. It may not be realistic to wipe down after every use so be mindful of times you can do it, and do it as often as you can.

It’s definitely wise to remove any food spillages as often as possible from the insides of ovens. When foods have spilt and are left inside, this can cause unnecessary smoking which will not only set off your fire alarm, but the odour it will correct will be horrible for your home, and even ruin the food that you’re cooking.
