Oven Mate Oven Cleaning Kit 500ml Twin Pack

Product Information

Mr Muscle Oven Cleaner works wonders on even the grubbiest of ovens. Just spray the foam and leave it for a bit before wiping it away to reveal shiny surfaces that look as good as new. It’s only for use on the inside of your oven and you need to be careful not to get it on linings and rubber seals, but the foam gets to work straight away, loosening any build-up without the need for scrubbing. Some oven manufacturers sell their own cleaning products, but there’s no evidence they’re any better than off-the-shelf supermarket products – and they often cost a premium. What about using a conventional steam cleaner?

Hint: The best way to clean any barbecue grill is to let the charcoal or gas reach a high heat with the lid on for about 20 minutes and then use a stiff BBQ-dedicated wire brush to remove the carbonised fats and food detritus.

Lakeland’s Oven Mate is the go-to cleaning product for many Mumsnetters who can’t stand cooking in a grubby oven.

Remove with a cloth or sponge as directed. Be aware of products that may leave scratches on the glass. It can be used to clean up your oven, grill and BBQ. Although Cif does produce some impressive results, it’s corrosive when used on certain surfaces, so keep it away from aluminium, copper, brass, marble, painted wood or appliance lettering.
