Is it worth getting an oven professionally cleaned?
Yes, getting your oven professionally cleaned is often worth it, especially if it's heavily soiled or hasn’t been cleaned in a while. Professional cleaning removes stubborn grease, carbon buildup, and lingering odours more effectively than most DIY methods, while also extending your oven’s lifespan and improving its efficiency.
What do professional cleaners use on ovens?
Professional oven cleaners use strong yet safe cleaning agents, often combined with dip tanks, steam tools, and specialised scrapers. These products are more effective than typical household cleaners and help break down grease and burnt-on food quickly.
At Fantastic Services, we only use 100% eco-friendly detergents that are safe for your kitchen and the environment. Our teams bring dip tanks for soaking parts, reusable protective mats, and microfibre tools for a thorough clean - all without caustic chemicals or fumes.
What is the best way to clean the bottom of your oven?
What is the very best oven cleaner?❗ Likely same as above. ✅ Can be considered covered if you choose not to answer.
Q: What is the best way to clean the bottom of your oven?A: The most effective method is professional oven cleaning using a dip-tank system. All removable parts are soaked in a heated cleaning tank, while technicians manually degrease and scrub the oven cavity, including the base, to remove stubborn grease and burnt-on residue. We also include a Teflon oven liner to help prevent future mess. DIY scrubbing often can’t reach deep-set grime or may damage the coating.
How do you get black baked-on grease off the oven?
To remove black baked-on grease from your oven, start by softening the residue with heat or steam, then use a degreaser or a paste of baking soda and vinegar. Let it sit before scrubbing with a non-abrasive sponge. However, this can be time-consuming and often doesn't fully restore the surface.
For the most effective results, our professional range cooker cleaning service in London uses eco-friendly commercial-grade detergents and a heated dip tank to dissolve tough grease from removable parts. The oven interior is hand-scrubbed, including tricky areas like door panels and racks, leaving it spotless without harsh chemicals or damage. It’s the safest and fastest way to restore your oven to a like-new condition.
Do I really need to clean my oven?
Yes, regular oven cleaning is essential for both hygiene and appliance performance. A dirty oven can produce smoke, unpleasant odours, uneven cooking, and even pose a fire risk due to built-up grease.
How often should an oven be professionally cleaned?
Most households benefit from professional oven cleaning once or twice a year, especially if you cook regularly. For light oven users, once a year may be sufficient. For families or keen home chefs, scheduling a professional clean every 6 months keeps your oven in top condition and prolongs its lifespan.
What happens if you never clean the oven?
Neglecting oven cleaning leads to grease and carbon buildup, which causes smoke, foul odours, inefficient cooking, and even potential fire hazards. It can also reduce the life of your oven and make baked food taste burnt or unpleasant.
How long does it take to clean the inside of an oven?
Cleaning the inside of an oven manually can take anywhere from 1 to 3 hours, depending on how dirty it is and the method used. Scrubbing burnt-on grease and residue is time-consuming and often requires strong products, soaking, and repeated effort.
Our professional range cooker cleaning saves you time and effort - we complete the whole process in about 2 hours, including interior cleaning, part soaking, and final assembly. No fumes, no mess, and you can use the oven right after a 15-minute preheat.
Can you get a self-cleaning oven professionally cleaned?
Yes, even self-cleaning ovens can benefit from professional cleaning. While pyrolytic or catalytic ovens burn off some residue, they often miss door glass, seals, and crevices where grease collects. Over time, grime still builds up, and these ovens aren't always suitable for very heavy soiling.
Our technicians are trained to safely clean self-cleaning ovens, removing stubborn dirt the internal cycle can’t handle.
How to know if an oven needs cleaning?
Signs your oven needs cleaning include visible grease or carbon build-up, smoke when cooking, burnt smells, or uneven cooking results. If your oven door is cloudy or food splatters are baked onto the walls and racks, it’s time to act.
How to deep clean a built-in oven?
Deep cleaning a built-in oven involves removing racks and trays, degreasing the interior, and carefully cleaning seals, fans, and door glass - all without damaging cabinetry or adjacent units.

We dismantle what’s accessible, soak greasy parts, scrub the interior, and reassemble everything, ensuring your integrated oven is thoroughly cleaned and ready to use, without damaging the surrounding kitchen area.
Do you clean between the oven glass doors?
