Professional AGA cleaning to get your range cooker back to showroom condition. Hotplates, ovens, and exterior all properly cleaned and polished.
When Did You Last Properly Clean It?
AGAs are brilliant - but they're also grime magnets. Those hotplates get a buildup, the ovens get carbon deposits, and that beautiful enamel exterior? Not looking quite as good as it used to. A proper clean transforms it - and often improves how it cooks too.
💡 Pro tip: A clean AGA actually cooks better. Burnt-on deposits on hotplates affect heat transfer, and grimy oven linings mean uneven temperatures.

Advice on keeping it clean longer
What to Expect
Step 1: Assess What's Needed
I'll check how bad the buildup is and what products/methods will work best for your specific AGA model and finish.
Step 2: Deep Clean Everything
Work through systematically - hotplates, ovens, chrome, enamel. It's physical work and takes time to do properly.
Step 3: Polish and Finish
Final polish on the enamel, check everything's as it should be, clean up all my mess, and leave you with a gleaming AGA.
🔧 DIY Tips
Want to maintain it yourself between deep cleans? Here's how:
🔧 Products you'll need
- AGA enamel cleaner (proper stuff, not general cleaner)
- Wire brush for hotplates (if approved for your model)
- Degreaser for oven interiors
- Microfibre cloths
- Chrome polish
📐 Regular maintenance
- Wipe enamel surfaces daily with damp cloth
- Clean chrome lids weekly
- Brush hotplates when cool (if appropriate for your model)
- Wipe up spills in ovens before they bake on
- Check and clean door seals monthly
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Using abrasive cleaners on enamel - causes damage
- Cleaning hotplates while still hot - dangerous and ineffective
- Scraping at things with metal - scratches and chips
- Forgetting to clean around and behind - buildup gets worse
💡 Pro trick: For stubborn oven grime, make a paste with bicarbonate of soda and water, leave overnight, then wipe clean. Much gentler than harsh chemical cleaners and works well on AGAs.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 Moving out/in? End of tenancy AGA clean or new house fresh start - very common jobs. Makes a huge difference to how the kitchen looks and feels.
Multiple jobs on same visit? If I'm already there, add oven cleaning, extractor fan, or other kitchen bits. More efficient than separate callouts.
Older AGAs in period houses? I've worked on loads in Exeter's Victorian and Georgian houses. They often need extra TLC but come up beautifully.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does an AGA clean actually involve?
Everything - I clean the hotplate surfaces, scrub the ovens, degrease the linings, clean the chrome lids, and polish the enamel exterior. Basically get it back to how it looked when it was installed. It's a proper deep clean, not just a wipe over.
Can you clean my AGA without turning it off?
Depends what needs doing. For a basic clean I can work around it being on. For a really thorough job (like if it's not been done in years), it's better to turn it off the night before so I can get properly stuck in. I'll advise based on what yours needs.
How often should an AGA be cleaned properly?
Deep clean like this? Once or twice a year is plenty for most people. The enamelled bits you can wipe yourself regularly, but the ovens and hotplates benefit from a proper going-over now and then. More often if you're a heavy user.
Will it damage the enamel?
Not the way I do it - I use the right products for AGA enamel, nothing harsh that'll strip or scratch it. Been cleaning these for years, including some very nice expensive models in Exeter's period houses. Your cooker's safe with me.
What about the mess?
I protect your floor and surroundings, and clean up properly when done. It's mucky work (AGAs get grimier than you'd think) but I don't leave you with a bigger mess than I started with.
