Do I need to hire someone to clean my oven?

If you’ve ever attempted to DIY your oven cleaning, you’ll know it’s a messy job that can take hours. You’ll have to bend yourself into an awkward position, often use harsh chemicals, and put up with a strong smell. If you’ve been putting off cleaning your oven for too long, it might be worth getting a professional in to do a proper clean.  

A professional job will help to:

• Help your oven function better

• Prevent fires from built-up grease and food remnants 

• Save energy by improving efficiency

• Help your food taste better

• Reduce oven fumes and smoking

You might also hire a professional oven cleaner as part of your end of lease clean to make sure you get your bond back.

What are the standard inclusions with oven cleaning?

When you book an oven cleaner, it may take between 1-2 hours (depending on the size and condition of your oven). Your oven cleaner will usually include the following services:

• Set up protective sheeting to keep the surrounding area clean

• Remove all trays and interior racks and clean them with appropriate products

• Remove doors (if they can be removed) and clean inside and out

• Clean the interior oven cavity

• Replace all parts correctly

• Clean up all surrounding areas and put any rubbish in the bin

• Test the oven to make sure it’s working perfectly

Standard oven cleaning prices don’t usually include extras like cleaning your grill, stovetop, and rangehood, so if these need attention, you’ll need to request them specifically.  Your cleaner may also be able to help with fridge cleaning, floors mopping or whole house cleaning.
