Let’s be honest: very few people look forward to cleaning the oven. It is often the most dreaded chore in the household. However, for us, it’s a craft.
At J R Cleaning & Sons, we don’t just “wipe down” your appliance. We perform a complete restoration. Here is a look behind the scenes at the meticulous process our expert cleaners follow to bring your oven back to showroom condition.
Expert Disassembly & Inspection
The secret to a truly clean oven isn’t just a good spray; it’s access. Our qualified experts begin by partially disassembling the unit. We remove:
- Racks and Side Grids
- Removable Seals
- Internal Plates and Fan Covers
By stripping the oven down, we can inspect every corner for hidden grease and carbon deposits that are often the cause of smoke, mechanical problems, and unpleasant odours during cooking.
Specialised Care for Sensitive Materials
Not all oven parts are created equal. A “one-size-fits-all” chemical approach is the fastest way to ruin an appliance.
- Catalytic & Self-Cleaning Liners: These are delicate. Using standard caustic chemicals will destroy their properties. We identify these immediately and clean them separately using manufacturer-approved methods.
- Chrome Protection: Standard cleaning can cause “chrome burn” a permanent blue/rainbow tinting. Or some common de-greasers can even strip the chrome off entirely, leaving you racks which look old, rusty and worn. Our team uses specific techniques to ensure your racks stay silver and bright. The risk of permanent damage is the exact reason we make sure our staff are fully trained and qualified before touching a customer’s oven.
"Crystal Clear" Doors
Cleaning the glass while it’s attached to the oven is a compromise we aren’t willing to make. Where possible, we remove the oven door entirely. This allows us to slide out the individual panes of glass to clean the surfaces that are usually “trapped” inside the door. The result? A perfectly transparent view of your cooking, with no streaks or trapped drips.
Our Signature Paint & Soak Method
Many companies use fixed “dip tanks” in the back of a van. We’ve evolved past that. We use a highly flexible, on-site soaking system. Using heavy-duty containers we create a fresh, site-specific chemical bath for your racks and plates. This ensures the solution is at peak potency for your specific level of carbon buildup, while not being too strong to potentially damage your oven. This system also allows us to tailor the specific chemicals to the condition of the oven on site, instead of just dumping everything in the same tank and hoping it will work.
For the oven carcass itself, we don’t just spray and pray. We use a precision-painting technique. By applying our specialist gels with a brush, we ensure 100% coverage in hard-to-reach areas, like the top of the oven and behind the heating elements.
The Manual Work
Once the chemicals have “dwelt” (the time required for the science to break down the carbon), we get to work. We use specialised blades to manually scrape away hard carbonised grease, before switching to our soap pads. This allows us to remove years of buildup without scratching or damaging the underlying enamel.
Responsible Disposal and The Final Polish
We believe a professional service should leave no trace, except for a clean oven.
- Safe Disposal: We don’t pour harsh chemicals down your kitchen sink. All used solutions are either first neutralised or safely contained and disposed of according to environmental safety standards.
- The Finishing Polish: Once the carbon is gone, we hand-polish the enamel and stainless steel. This doesn’t just look great; it creates a smooth surface that makes it harder for new grease to bond to the metal. While leaving your oven looking like new.
The Results
An oven, hob and extractor that doesn’t just look new, but performs better. Why spend your weekend scrubbing when you can leave it to the specialists?
