What do you need to get started in oven cleaning apart from a strong back and a weak mind
Is there any specialist equipment involved? I know there is something the removables be put in thats kept in the van what is it though and what else do you need (thinking of getting the wife to do it )

Think the stuf you need to set up is about 700 pounds and that includes tant,spare bulbs for the ovens,sheets for the floor and non caustic cleaners i think

I wont do them for custys only letting agents that i work for (and they know i dont like doing them) do it to get them out the poo if im doing the carpets.

F##ked one up last year, got the chem on anodised aluminium and it corroded it, within 5mins, cost me a £100 carpet clean got off lightly really...

Fairy powerspray is the stuff harder work but safe

Oven cleaning now there is  desperation for you, surely not a career move? Mind you i read somewhere on here that someones goal for 2009 was to do 50% carpet cleaning and 50% drive cleaning. Whatever ou either love this job or you don't obviously some dont.

Thanks for that informed and helpful contribution colin :
I was thinking of buying a small,reasonably cheap van and put a set up in that and market it as an off shoot of the carpet cleaning side ie..."our oven cleaning division" it helps to look and sound bigger than you are i think There is obviously a market for it its worth looking into anyway.

Ryan, you can't possibly want to clean ovens. If you want branch out in to other areas then do hard floors or curtains, something that might give you some pride in a job well done, as something that will only drive you around the bend. sorry to be so negative, no direspect intended.

[Ryan Smyth]

No problem Col I was actually serious about getting the wife to run it,she works from home as a travel agent and its been crap recently and she yapping about wanting to do something else and she likes to clean,perfect says I put her to cleaning ovens

Ryan, perfect work for a woman As long as she isn't half baked and don't go showing your appreciation by putting a bun in her oven

Oven Wizards are another franchise, derek

[clinton]

There are some franchises here in stockport,they do get work mind you.

Like drive washing its the finishing quality thats the main thing ie is all the cooker clean and the surounding furnishings,same with drives have we splashed the glass and the walls in the surounding areas
