yes runs off standard 3 pin plug

Used one, but it was not on a dirty oven so would be unfair to comment.

They can be used for cleaning greasy tiled walls, floors, bathrooms, bubble gum - but a little slow. As it not a big machine.

The bigger machine will handle more presure and temp, and carry more water and run for longer periods

How do you go about getting oven cleaning jobs to start off with? leaflet drops? canvassing? ??

The cheapest course I have seen is £700 and the equipment is £650 (inc. VAT).

I work out if I charge £60 an oven on everage I will need to clean 23 ovens before I start making any profit.
Is it likely to get say 10 ovens a week? or is it more like 1 a fortnight?

Hi Richy L

No I haven't done the job yet. I will be doing the test piece next week. Probably monday.

I have decided against the training now. The feedback I have had from people on the forum, friends and family has told me that it may not be worth it. The cheapest courses only clean 4 ovens with you and the longer courses seem to expensive to make it worth while.

I dont want to start an oven cleaning business, just use it as an add on.

Hi Richy

Cant say if its any good for paint removal as never tried removing paint

Ive have actually used that model. Its pretty good for small jobs does do ovens ok. But as its small you need to keep refilling.

My best advice if its for ovens cleaning, use the oven cleaning chemical first. Get as much as you can with the chemical.

Wash away and any left over then use the steam cleaner cleaner. With the attachments be careful not to scratch the oven surfaces.

Its a shame you could not practice with it first as it takes a bit of getting use to. 

hope that helps

DONT FORGET TO WASH AWAY ALL OF THE CHEMICAL! turn the oven on to about 40d no more and leave the chemical to soak you will find it easier. turn off after 15 minutes.

after you have cleaned it reheat oven and it will go white or leave a residue where you have left any remaining chemical. Wash away with soapy water - spray is sufficient.
