How Often Should I Get My Oven Professionally Cleaned?

Getting Oven Professionally Cleaned: How Often?
If you’re here, you’re probably pondering over one of life’s great mysteries: how often should you get your oven professionally cleaned? As a seasoned oven cleaner with years of experience under my belt (and a fair share of oven grime too), I’m here to help you crack this conundrum.

The Six-Month Rule: A Good Starting Point

In the oven cleaning world, we have a rule of thumb that’s as reliable as a well-baked Victoria sponge: aim for a professional oven cleaning every six months. Now, this isn’t just a clever ruse to keep us oven cleaners busy. Regular professional cleaning can work wonders for your oven’s lifespan, efficiency, and even the taste of your food. Yes, a clean oven might just be the secret ingredient to your culinary success!

Factors That Could Call for More Frequent Cleaning

While the six-month guideline is a solid starting point, several factors might nudge you towards more frequent cleanings.

  1. Your Oven Usage

If your oven sees more action than a contestant on ‘The Great British Bake Off’, you might need to consider more frequent professional cleanings. If you don’t use your oven too much then you likely won’t need to clean as often!

  1. Your Culinary Preferences

Are you a fan of bubbly, cheesy pizzas or sizzling roasts? Foods that splatter or bubble over can cause grease and food particles to build up more quickly. If your cooking style leans towards these types of dishes, you might want to consider a professional cleaning every three to four months.

  1. Your Oven’s Self-Cleaning Function

Some modern ovens come equipped with a self-cleaning function. While this can help maintain your oven between professional cleanings, it’s not a full substitute for a deep clean. So, even if you’re using the self-cleaning function regularly, a professional cleaning every six months is still a good idea.

The Perks of Regular Professional Cleaning

Regular professional cleaning isn’t just about making your oven look as shiny as a new penny (although that’s a lovely perk). It can also improve the efficiency of your oven, reduce the risk of fire, and eliminate harmful bacteria. Plus, there’s something really satisfying about seeing your oven restored to its former glory, don’t ya think?

Conclusion

So, to answer the burning question: we recommend getting your oven professionally cleaned at least once every six months. However, depending on your oven usage and the type of food you cook, you might need more frequent cleanings. We say, a clean oven is a happy oven, and a happy oven makes for a happy cook. So, why not treat your oven (and yourself) to a professional clean? Trust me, your oven (and your taste buds) will thank you! Happy cooking!

Dave provided a professional oven clean to bring our built-in double oven, which was in need of some TLC, back to its former glory along with new bulb in main oven. No amount of Oven Pride or Mr Muscle could achieve a similar result. Took just over an hour, would recommend
