How to know if an oven needs cleaning?
You can tell if your oven needs cleaning by several common signs. A visibly messy oven cavity with baked-on food spills, grease, and food residue on the walls, racks, and door is an obvious indicator. Other signs include an unpleasant odour emanating from the oven while it's in use, excessive smoke during preheating or cooking, and food tasting smoky or tainted. You might also notice a cloudy film on the oven door glass or experience uneven cooking results due to accumulated grime affecting heat distribution. If you can't remember the last time it was cleaned, it's very likely due for a professional deep clean.
What happens if I never clean my oven?
Neglecting to clean your oven can lead to several negative consequences impacting safety, efficiency, and food quality. Over time, grease and food buildup can become a fire hazard, as accumulated oils are combustible. A very dirty oven can also produce excessive smoke and unpleasant odours that affect kitchen air quality and can transfer undesirable tastes to your food. Furthermore, thick grime acts as an insulator, making your oven less efficient and potentially increasing energy bills, while also leading to uneven cooking results. Regular professional cleaning helps to mitigate these risks and maintain your oven's optimal performance.
How often should I have my oven professionally cleaned?
It's recommended to have your oven professionally cleaned at least once every six months. However, if you use your oven frequently or notice excessive grease buildup, it may be beneficial to schedule more frequent cleanings. Regular maintenance helps prevent the accumulation of stubborn gunk and ensures your oven continues to function efficiently.

Absolutely! Our professional oven cleaning service is designed to cater to both gas and electric ovens. The oven cleaning technicians are trained to handle various oven types and models, ensuring a thorough and safe cleaning process.
Can you get a self-cleaning oven professionally cleaned?
Yes, even self-cleaning ovens, such as pyrolytic or catalytic models, can and often benefit significantly from professional cleaning. While these ovens use high heat or special liners to burn off some residue, they frequently miss areas like the oven door glass, door seals, racks, and crevices where grease and grime can still accumulate. Our certified technicians are trained to safely clean all types and brands of ovens, including self-cleaning models, reaching and removing stubborn dirt that the self-cleaning cycle cannot handle, ensuring a truly spotless and efficient appliance.

How long does it take to clean a very dirty oven?
The duration of cleaning a very dirty oven will typically be longer than a standard clean, but our experienced technicians work efficiently to complete the job promptly.
