Yes I got one of those...


Thats what reminded me I needed to clean my oven.


?49.00 upwards is a bit expensive.


Thanks for replying though...


Fox..

Another recommendation for Oven Pride. But be warned it's pretty strong stuff. When I last used it, I put the oven racks into the bag provided and some of the cleaning solution leaked out, marking my wooden worktop. Having said that, if used properly and with caution it's very effective at shifting all that burnt on grime!

For the bastad bits I have used Spirits of Salts but it's a dangerous liquid, 37% hydrochloric acid, eats anything organic and I find that includes oven filth.

be extremely careful with it though. Dulwich DIY do 500ml (?3) or 1 litre bottles (?4).

Wear rubber gloves, protect your arms and wear builders goggles and don't breath the fumes. If it sizzles it's found something organic, hopefully not your skin !

Good morning DulwichFox,



I have an electric oven with induction hob which needed some loving, I considered massaging her with all the leading brands. My concern being the very toxic leading brands happen to badly effect some seals and are not plesent to use. My method being to use baking soda, ensuring the oven/hob is cooled before damping down lightly using a spray bottle is good. I then sprinkle baking soda over the damp oven areas leaving to work its magic. After a nice cup of tea simply scrub up and repeat if need be. It works a treat on the oven window and I feel it way more effective than most toxic foams and sprays.

    • I took it to mean that he was going to present all sides of the argument (for want of a better term) rather than just giving his own opinion. I didn't take it to mean that he was calling "his own views" balanced.
    • I just did this survey. There are a number of problems with it. For example, in at least two questions you have an option "other, please specify" but there is no way to specify what the "other" is. Also, you have several questions where if you have nothing appropriate to answer, you get a statement "this is a required question", or words to that effect, so you have to put in something like "nothing" in order to move on. Can I suggest that this is likely to confuse people so they just give up half way through? Maybe you should test it out on a few people before going "live" with it?
    • I went to Brockwell Lido on a hot day last summer to do some lengths. It was busy.  I kept getting other people's hair, which was floating around the pool, tangled in my hands. It was gross. I'm not sure if that was unusual, or if it's always like that on a hot day. 
    • Didn't engage him in conversation but I think he was just 'collecting' for a 'charity' - without ID or anything else. Something to do with rehabilitation. They don't seem to bother with dusters. Which is probably a blessing.
