What’s Included in a Typical Oven Cleaning Service?

When your oven starts smoking every time you preheat it or your Sunday roast tastes suspiciously like last week’s lasagne, it’s probably time for a professional oven clean. But what exactly is included in a typical oven cleaning service—and is it worth it?

Here’s what you can expect when you book a professional oven cleaning service in the UK.


Deep Cleaning of All Removable Parts

One of the biggest advantages of professional oven cleaning is that it goes far beyond surface wiping. Trained technicians will remove key components such as:

  • Oven racks and trays
  • Back panels
  • Fan blades (if accessible)
  • Bulb covers
  • Control knobs (if safe to do so)

These parts are usually soaked in a powerful, non-toxic cleaning solution—often in a specially equipped van tank—designed to dissolve baked-on grease, grime, and carbon deposits.


Interior and Door Cleaning

Next, the interior of the oven is tackled. Technicians use commercial-grade degreasers and tools to scrub away carbon build-up from:

  • The oven cavity
  • Glass panels
  • Roof and base of the oven
  • Hinges and door seals

If the oven door is double-glazed and can be safely dismantled, professionals will usually clean between the panes for a spotless finish.


Exterior Clean and Polish

Once the interior and removable parts are clean, attention turns to the outside. This includes:

  • The control panel
  • Handles and knobs
  • The outer door
  • Surrounding trims

Specialist stainless steel polishes may also be used to leave a streak-free shine.


Optional Add-Ons

Some oven cleaning companies also offer extras such as:

  • Hob and extractor fan cleaning
  • Microwave or combi-oven cleaning
  • BBQ or Aga/range cooker cleaning
  • Oven bulb replacement
  • Stain guard treatments for adjacent flooring

Always check what’s included in your quote and whether these services are bundled or charged separately.


Is It Safe?

Yes! A reputable service uses fume-free, biodegradable cleaning solutions that are safe for pets, children, and your oven’s internal components. Most ovens are ready for use immediately after the clean.
