I attacked my oven yesterday!
OMG I am so sick to my stomach!!! How the hell did i let it get that bad??!!
3 times I totally cleaned it out and sprayed oven cleaner...and there is STILL gunk on the roof!!!!
My hands are so nice and polished from the cleaning product....(Im not a glvoes girl :lol:)
so fess up...make me feel better
when was the last time you did more then cook in yours??
I last cleaned mine 3 months ago and Im going to do it again on Monday when the kids arent home.
i cleaned mine last week because we moved out, before that...well i'd never done it, so 15 months! oopsies
Um, well, I think, actually I know :rofl: 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?!
i havent cleaned it yet... but weve been here 2 months now, so i should get onto it!
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
oh really *maz's ear's ***** up*:
I seriously need a chisel to get the **** of the top
now that I have one that "cleans itself" I do it every couple of months but prior to that I used to do it when we moved out of a place which was approximately ever 12/18 months but I also avoided cooking fatty things in it to minimise the need to clean it.
OMG a LONG time but DH just cleaned it on the weekend!! I can't believe how gross it was ewwwww........
lol i cleaned it 3 weeks ago-as our house is on the market!
umm before that i had only ever cleaned it once before and we have had the oven for 10 years oops!!
but i do wipe it over when something spills and it was bad but not really gross bad
I did mine a year ago. I was house-sitting at Mum's last October (09) and she asked if I could do her oven. So when I got home I did mine as well. That is the last time, and it desperately needs doing again
Umm... do I have to tell? :hide: I can't remember. I gave it a wipe out a little while ago.. I keep putting it off cause I know it's gonna be bad :(
Have only recently cleaned my oven...but that's only because there was something burnt on the bottom :ROFL:
Think I'd rather buy a new oven!
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.
i cleaned mine last week but before that it must have been about 12-18 months!
:ROFL: OMG we are to alike!!!! Ive talked J man into getting one, along with a new stove top next year....and he tell's me if he's going to do that he may aswell do the entire kitchen new :dance: :ROFL::
Err... You're supposed to clean it??
:rofl:
I do the outside frequently but yeah the inside, well we put a new oven in just after we moved in, so about 18mths ago, and I've never cleaned the inside!!!
umm never.. :hide:
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 :rofl:
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*
Yesterday! :D Tell you what, I haven't seen it that clean since I bought it!
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.
Umm I'm to embarrased to answer that!
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!!
When we moved in... Three years ago XD
Ahem maybe like 8 months ago? :redface:
Oh dear......confession time..........I don't remember the last time I cleaned the oven but that's not the worst thing!!!!! ...........the oven is SELF cleaning. I just have to set it to the right temp and then wipe it out when it's done. Shame, shame Starangelk.
what You mean they dont clean themselves?:o
The last time I cleaned the oven was when I went into my cleaning frenzy shortly after DS was born - so a couple of months ago. Got a lovely caustic burn on my arm too for my troubles (which still hasn't faded BTW!) I have decided that the oven doesn't like me as it is the second major burn I have received from it in 2 years :(
I'm another with my hand up about the oven cleaning company!!!!!!
Outside gets done a lot. Inside......eeeeehhhh not so much. LOL. My excuse is that its a free standing oven and now I can't leave it open to do its thing with the spray with DD running around. Well, for a month or so anyway.....
Same. We went to do it last week and cause there is so much crap on it there was a very bad smell and smoke so we just turned it off. Must give it a manual clean first me thinks !!:
Ummmm I usually clean the door (inside of it) weekly and give it a bit of a going over with my enjo weekly as well. A full-on clean about quarterly (and I do the inside of the air filter thingy above the stovetop at the same time). I don't use commercial cleaners so find it easier to do it often. If I have any citrus fruit starting to go off (lemons / limes / grapefruit) then I'll do it earlier.
In my house in Aus we had a really rubbish oven....so I told DH that I would not clean it until he got me a new one.....4 years it took....and I never cleaned it once in that time!!
We got the new oven just before we moved to Singas, and I cleaned it once before we left! I sure hope the tenants keep it clean!
:)
I must get onto that....sure :rofl: it will give DH something to do on his christmas holidays
We moved here 3 years ago and I have been promised a new oven since then... I don't see the point of cleaning it if I am getting a new one.... shame I am still waiting ;-)
