Oven cleaners in the UK will use a combination of specialist cleaning products to effectively remove grease and grime from ovens.

The exact products will vary, but check to make sure they’re using non-caustic and environmentally friendly products that are safer for you and the environment.

Here are some common types of cleaning products used:

• Alkaline-based cleaners that break down grease and carbon
• Acid-based cleaners that are great for removing mineral deposits and limescale
• Enzymatic cleaners that use natural enzymes to break down organic matter, such as food residue

The time you need to wait before using your oven after cleaning depends on the cleaning method you’ve chosen:

• DIY ‘natural’ cleaning – If you've used a natural, eco-friendly solution like baking soda and vinegar, you can typically use your oven immediately after cleaning
• Shop-bought oven cleaners – Always follow the specific instructions on the product label as some may require a specific waiting period
• Professional oven cleaning – Wait 15-20 minutes, run the oven at its highest temperature to burn off any chemical residue, and open a window for ventilation
• Self-cleaning ovens – Once the self-cleaning cycle is complete and the oven has cooled down, you can use it immediately

The easiest way to find out is to check your oven's manual or the manufacturer's website. It should clearly state if your model of oven has a self-cleaning function.

How it works

A self-cleaning oven uses a high-temperature process called pyrolysis to burn away dirt and grease. All you need to do is activate the self-cleaning cycle, and the oven does the rest!

Here’s a quick overview of the self-cleaning process:

1. The oven locks and heats to extremely high temperatures

2. The extreme heat burns away dirt and grease, turning it into ash

3. After the cycle, you'll need to wipe away the resulting ash

It’s worth noting that many self-cleaning ovens offer different cleaning levels for varying degrees of dirt.

Benefits of a self-cleaning oven

• No scrubbing or elbow grease needed!
• Good hygiene thanks to high temperatures that kill bacteria and germs
• Energy-saving features that can reduce energy consumption by up to 20% are common with many modern self-cleaning ovens
