Fellow CC

Thinking of adding oven cleaning onto the business. Any feedback regarding this market would be very gratefully appreciated.

Clinton where did you get the decals for your van done and how much did it cost.

Many thanks
Darren Jones

Yes add oven cleaning.

We added carpet cleaning to our Office Cleaning Programme and its the perfect add on. We were originally just doing Low Moisture. Then moved over to HWE.

We now have 2 CC machines on the road. Now looking for a 3rd.

We do Oven cleaning if we do a EOT clean. We dont do ovens for general residential.

Oven cleaning is fairly simple, As long as you know how to unbolt the doors and remove the glass.

If you cannot afford a heated dip tank, then lakeland has a a very large tray where you can lay and soak all the racking and hob bits.

Dont use caustic cleaner on stainless steal.

It's an add on that I have never regretted. A dip tank's a must IMO as using a Lakeland tray will be absolutely sole destroying and will almost certainly stop you wanting to persue your new chosen side line.

The money's not as good as Carpet Cleaning and it's a minging job, but it's a cheaper business to run as the only real big outlay is the dip tank.... A gas canister lasts a good 3-6 Months.... (I've used mine for the BBQ tonight

Hi Darren  barclay signs did mine for me hes on reddish road not far from halfords roundabout just past macdonalds

Think it was under 400,had the bottom of the van wrapped mind you and the cartoon and lots of blue bubbles,so guess if you didnt want all that it would be cheaper,he did a great job mind you and have always used him...

[SteveAllan]

wow colin, i get through a gas bottle approx every 3 to 4 weeks.
Darren -  i agree with colin you must have a dip tank if ya gonna do it, would be a nightmare without

[Colin Day]

No offence but I could imagine it being humiliating and demining work, especially with the customer or other people in the home watching you with a smug grin.
You have to draw the line at some point guys. Cleaning other people’s ovens is sad situation to find yourself in.

Have some pride in yourself, let them clean their own f***ing ovens!

Eh!
Must admit mate, its a mingin job as times

[terrymaloy]

Good friend of mine has just lost a small fortune on an oven cleaning franchise.

This guy aint afraid of hard work, but he hated every minute of it !
The money was poor and and he found cleaning ovens a horrible, disgusting thing to do !

After giving it a go for 18 months he threw the towel in....and very little to show for it.

I know everyone is different and if it were your OWN business then it could be different, but something to think about
