Hi Guys,

Im going to start up oven cleaning hopefully in the next month and have been in touch with john from ovenbrite mainly for equipment and training, but i have been reading threw some of the threads on oven cleaning and read that you can have a cold dip tank??? does anyone use this? if so what do they think of it?and know of any sites i can look at this? i have a budget of around £2000 to get equipment and training....and if anyone has any more advise that would be great.

cheers

Cold dip tank would only be of any use if you are using a caustic solution

i bought a burco oiler off ebay for 50 quid. get a plastic container large enough for all the bits and bobs boil up the water and drop it in the container for 30mins,works a treat,cost me 58 quid altogether...

[Rick Ward]

am I right in thinking that a plasterers bath would work- new of course.

Just had to clean a couple of Ovens that an untrained Oven Cleaner had tried doing.

He couldnt put the door back together in the first one and has rubbed off the marking on the dials on the second one!

Expensive mistake for him

Good post Bill 

If you want to start on the cheep lakeland do a kit for about £20
or just by oven pride

The more heat and better chems the less work you have

Oven Pride is caustic so you have to be careful with it

I had training from John, I thought he was great. And better to know EXACTLY how to take the bits and bobs apart before you start in someones home. It doesn't look very professional if you can't put an oven back together

Charmaine, I was just wondering about adding oven cleaning to my pressure washing business and I saw your post. I was looking at the Ovenlclean Franchise. Has anyone tried the  franchise  route as a way into this or is it better to go it alone.
Bill, I will definitely need training and advice. I live in South Yorkshire  so if you can recommend training course that would be really great. My email is superkleen@hotmail.co.uk
I was wondering if any members could offer feedback from their experience of oven cleaning good or bad. Has it been worth doing for instance.
Regards

Ged

Oven cleaning is a low cost start up if you have a van but I dont think it
can be a stand alone business at the moment it does combine well with
other cleaning services and you really can impress customers.

[Ged]

could anyone tell me how much you would expect to charge for an oven clean that takes, lets say, 2 hours.

regards and thanks for the useful info so far

I dont base mine on time

Some single ovens can take 2 hours but some a lot less.

I did an AGA this morning and charged £85-it took me just over 2 hours and i wasnt rushing.

Just done a minging single oven which took me over 2.5 hours and charged £40

Hi Bill

Do you have a gas or electric dip tank? What do you put in it?

Furthermore, I currently do a bit of oven cleaning, and would like to start doing some Aga cleaning. Is there much difference?

Ive got a gas tanker and use a de greaser in it

AGA's are easy but if you mess up it will be expensive!

NATURAL SCRUB CLEAN OVEN SOLUTION

4T Baking soda

4T Hot, steamy water

Make a paste with the above listed ingredients and apply it to the oven's cavity using an old toothbrush or soft-bristled cleaning brush. Allow solution to sit for 1-minute. Scrub with brush until oven is clean. Rinse with water and sponge until no traces of baking soda remain.
