Cleaning process
10 steps to a professional clean
Step 1
On arrival we double check exactly what needs to be cleaned. We place a protective sheet on the floor where we will be working, visually check the exterior of the appliance for any visible damage, and check the appliance and its lights work correctly. If any bulbs need replacing we advise of the cost and replace them if requested. If there is any evidence of previous cleaning attempts we advise the customer of what potential damage may be present after cleaning.
Step 2
Dismantle the oven, removing the shelves, trays and, if fitted, the back panel that covers the fan and rear element.
Step 3
Take all the removed parts out to the van and place them in our specialist heated tank to remove all the grease and burnt on food.
Step 4
Pre heat the oven to help soften the burnt on food and grease. Remove the oven door and seal and, if removable, the fan. Scrape the sides, bottom, back and roof of the oven to start removing the burnt on food and grease. Apply our seaweed based degreaser and scrub again, then wipe out and scrape. Apply our cleaning paste and scrub the sides, bottom, back and roof again. Wipe out and scrub and scrape one final time, removing any last bits of burnt on food and grease. Clean the fan and reattach it to the motor.
Step 5
Clean the door seal and reattach it. Where possible, strip the door to clean the glass and in between the panes of glass, then reassemble the door and put it back on.
Step 6
Return to the van and remove all the parts that were left to soak. Rinse them off with clean water and dry.
Step 7
Final buff of the oven, then reassemble and check correct operation.
Step 8
Clean and buff the front of the oven.
Step 9
Tidy up and clean the work area.
