    Better yet how often SHOULD I do it? I have 3 monthly inspections so I do it then but realistically how often is ideal?

    Ummmm I am kinda ashamed to admit I use an oven cleaning company about once a year to clean mine......it's the one house luxury I have......and yep some call me lazy bones too

    I do give it a wipe over every now and then, but not a proper clean out

    Um, well, I think, actually I know It was when I moved in 1 yr ago!!

    We cook our roasts in bags or in the webber, so we don't have too much mess in the oven thank goodness! It's one heck of a job though isn't it?!

    Have only recently cleaned my oven...but that's only because there was something burnt on the bottom

    Think I'd rather buy a new oven!

    umm never..

    We've lived here for nearly a year and I've never cleaned our oven...geez I hope the last tenants cleaned it when they moved out

    I really should hey..it's just hard though with DD clinging to me all the time, it's hard enough to go to the toilet! I think there is a now very well roasted piece of potato sitting in the bottom of it too..it's only been there for a few months, with say an average oven use of 3-4 times a week..yep I'd say it's cooked.. *redface*

    2 years ago by a professional cleaner, about to be done again by a professional cleaner before we move, but in saying that, the oven has been used about 10-20 times in that 2 year period.

    My H just cleaned ours 2 days ago as part of my pre-baby spring cleaning. We've been here for 2 years. It never gets all that dirty though because we're vegetarians.

    It was cleaned properly by the cleaners about 15 months ago when we moved in. I've wiped it out and cleaned the racks since then.

    We have an oven sheet we keep on the bottom of the oven, so if any crap overflows it goes onto that. Then just take it out, wipe it off and all is good - makes it so much easier.

    I was thinking the same thing LOL

    We have been in our new house 3 years, I definitely remember cleaning it at least once, maybe twice LOL

    I didn't realise there were professional oven cleaning services - must get on to THAT!!
