Professional oven clean between tenancies. From encrusted disaster to showroom clean. Oven, hob, extractor - all sorted so your property's ready to let.
The Oven Everyone Dreads Opening
Tenant's moved out. Time to check the oven. You open the door and... yeah, that's not going to pass an inventory check.
💡 Pro tip: A clean oven on move-in day makes tenants think the whole property's well-maintained. A crusty oven makes them think you don't care.

What to Expect
Step 1: Initial Strip-Down
Remove racks, shelves, grill pan - anything that comes out. These get soaked in degreaser while I work on the interior.
Step 2: Deep Clean
Professional oven cleaner applied to interior. Left to work while I tackle the hob, extractor, and door. Then the scrubbing begins.
Step 3: Final Polish
Everything rinsed, dried, reassembled. Glass polished. Hob shining. Looks like a different appliance.
🔧 DIY Tips
Want to tackle it yourself? Here's how to get professional results:
🧽 What you'll need
- Oven cleaner (proper stuff, not just spray)
- Degreaser for hob
- Scrapers (plastic, not metal)
- Wire wool (fine grade)
- Rubber gloves (essential!)
- Old towels/newspaper to protect floor
- Bucket for soaking racks
🔥 The process
- Remove everything that comes out
- Soak racks and shelves in hot water + degreaser
- Apply oven cleaner to interior (follow instructions!)
- Leave it to work (don't rush this)
- Scrub with non-scratch scrubbers
- Wipe clean multiple times (residue is the enemy)
- Tackle hob with degreaser
- Clean door glass both sides
- Reassemble when everything's dry
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Not leaving cleaner long enough to work
- Using abrasive tools that scratch
- Missing the door seal (important but delicate)
- Forgetting to protect the floor
- Not ventilating properly (fumes are nasty)
- Rushing the final rinse (leaves streaks)
💡 Pro trick: Bi-carb paste (bicarb + water) works brilliantly on the glass door. Spread it on, leave for 20 mins, wipe off with a damp cloth. Repeat if needed. Cheap and effective.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎯 Timing tip: Book oven cleaning after the checkout inspection but before the new tenant moves in. That way you know exactly what needs doing and it's ready for handover.
Really bad ovens? If it's years of neglect, be realistic - some permanent staining happens. I'll get it as clean as physically possible, but miracles have limits.
Self-cleaning ovens? They're never as self-cleaning as promised. Still need proper cleaning between tenants. The pyrolytic function helps but doesn't replace elbow grease.
Student properties in Exeter? Shared kitchens always need professional oven cleans. Five students for a year = one very grimy oven. Budget for it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in a rental oven clean?
Full oven clean inside and out - racks, shelves, glass door, drip trays, the lot. Plus the hob top scrubbed and the extractor hood cleaned. Basically everything the tenant should have done but probably didn't.
How bad do ovens get in rentals?
Let's just say I've seen things. Baked-on grease from months of use, spills that have turned to carbon, hobs you can't see the original color of. It all comes clean eventually with proper products and effort.
Is it better than those oven cleaning companies?
Different approach - they often use caustic chemicals and take parts away. I clean it in situ with professional products. Results are the same, price is usually better, and your oven door doesn't leave the property.
How long does it take?
Standard single oven is 2-2.5 hours. Double ovens or really grotty ones can be 3 hours. Range cookers are a different story - they take longer and cost more.
Will it actually be clean or just cleaner?
Properly clean. Not perfect (some staining is permanent after years of use), but as close to showroom condition as the oven allows. Your new tenant will think it's brand new.
