Title: Cleaning ovens with Steam
Post by: eduardo on September 18, 2014, 08:41:20 pm: Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to ask if anyone has ever used a commercial steam machine to clean ovens(domestic & commercial)?? Any comments would be helpful.

V.messy idea IMO, better off heating the oven and then using a scraper and oven cleaner
Cheers

Waste of time. Spray the oven with Mr. Muscle and leave for an hour or so. Then wash off and then wash with Ubik and use a scraper. Just did 40 ovens like this.

could not agree with more with denise, I started out just doing domestic ovens, did well for 18 months then the world and his wife started doing it for 45 quid a pop, its chemical, adgetate, dwell, scrape, rinse, polish, we only do commercial now, kitchens, extraction systems, builders cleans, pest control, the oven cleaning game can open some doors to bigger things, if you are good at adapting and willing to invest in equipment, as for the steam I recently purchased a dry steam cleaning machine, its a beast, delivers dry steam at almost pressure washer ferocity, but its only good for commercial work, domestic oven cleaning is hard work, especially because they want to stand over you and see what they are getting. My advice is, strong de-greaser, strong de-carboniser, get in, get out.

quick set up on site, have tank already heated before you get to first job, only take in what you need, mat, scrapers, trigger sprays, blue roll, micro fibres, bin bag, silicone polish, cheesy fridge magnet.

commercial steam machine wouldn't be appropriate for domestic oven cleaning. Dip cleaning and scrubbing is more suitable here.
