I think I'll just have to not be lazy and give it a go myself I'm pretty sure there was an oven cleaning thread not long ago.

The place isn't a pigsty so we could probably do most of it ourselves and just get the carpets cleaned. I don't think many property managers see what I can see, but every now and again there'll be one. I just hate hanging out in the old house once I move into the new place...

Thanks.

EYA - the banner ad that just came up was for cleaning ovens and BBQs. Clever.
