Oven Deep Cleaning: Tips and Tricks

At HD Cleaning, we specialise in appliance restoration for homes and short lets across London, and this case study focuses on oven deep cleaning tips. Ovens are among the most difficult items in domestic cleaning, so we treat them with trained methods & careful planning.

The brief was simple: take a heavily soiled appliance that had built up carbon, grease & burnt-on residue and return it to a safe, hygienic, almost like-new condition without disrupting the rest of the kitchen.

The visit began with an inspection to note the oven type, door seals, trays and racks, and the state of the glass and enamel. Protection was laid around the unit so no product could reach the floor or adjacent cabinets. Because this oven was in poor condition, we applied specialist solutions and allowed them a long dwell time. Patience is essential with heavy soil. Rather than forcing the process, we let chemistry do the early work while we prepared tools and ventilation.

Once softened, the residue was lifted in stages. Racks and trays were treated separately. The cavity was addressed methodically, working from the back and sides to the base and finally the door. A scraper was used only where appropriate to avoid scratching, and pressure was kept light to preserve coatings. Between passes, the surfaces were neutralised and wiped so we could see progress clearly and avoid re spreading loosened grime.

Throughout the service, we checked for drips and kept edges dry so no liquid travelled beneath the appliance or onto the flooring.

The door glass received particular attention. Build-up at the edges was removed with small tools and lint-free cloths, then the panels were polished for a clear, streak-free finish. Controls and handles were cleaned and dried, and seals were wiped so the oven would close properly.

A final rinse ensured no product odour remained. The result was a bright, hygienic oven that looked renewed and was ready to use.
