Elbow grease, the product I mean. I've used the cream and spray often and it does do a good job

Cif Oven Gel, Its brilliant no horrible odours.
Been thinking of picking up one of those enlarged electronic tooth brush looking things for cleaning ovens too, Much easier than scrubbing by hand.

We have a pyrolitic that does the internal walls.
For the shelves I stick them in a plastic bag with that caustic cleaner, comes as a kit with the bag. Bought the last lot from Tesco, think it was less than a tenner.

Dave seems like a nice chap.
Best response to this thread... At what regularity does Dave pop over?
Twice a year - oven stinks when you first use it after a professional clean though - but TOTALLY worth it

Charges £52 to use £7 oven pride.

We have one of those pyrolytic jobs, but have never used it. Just tend to wipe it out after every few uses.

All of the consumer grade oven cleaners I've used have been based on sodium hydroxide, so if you can get hold of a big bottle of that it should do the job. The oven cleaners are usually thicker/more of a gel than liquid though, not sure if it's easy to get hold of in that form (doesn't really matter if you're doing a "bath" of it to soak things, but could be a pain for vertical sides of the oven as it won't stick in place easily.
Wear gloves and a mask (or at the very least goggles), as it's nasty stuff and will melt your skin at higher concentrations!

Another vote for Elbow Grease + a razor blade here. Cleaned mine last week and it came up spotless. Literally brand new again, super impressed.
Just make sure you pull the blade towards you to avoid the possibility of scratches.

I've no idea why anyone would use such a labour intensive and frankly dangerous activity. As I said on the other page, over cleaner plus cling film. I'll put a vdieo link below so this thread can come to a close, and maybe it'll also put Dave out of a job.
Bear in mind this woman cleans people houses that are soooo dirty its a health hazard.
Adding a second video, because apparently the first one wasn't enough of time saver, this one demo's zero using of blades...

The video you linked to LITERALLY shows her using that method
Admittedly I missaid 'razor blade' instead of 'stanley blade', my bad.

She uses that on the glass as it hasn't been done for ages, and she is in a hurry as she is cleaning a whole house in a single day.

She also does it on the oven interior too for the stubborn spots.

On 2 tiny spots... Forget it can't be bothered to argue, the rest of the cleaning, e.g. The vast majority is done with the method I mentioned, but do what ever you like.
