which is the best oven cleaning course ?

[daysdeepclean]

They're are all around £2000 + VAT! I can't see how they can justify charging such a price, Carpet cleaning coures don't cost anywhere near that price do they? I was fortunate enough to buy the whole kit (Including Dip Tank) for £1300 with guidance and mentoring. The hardest part of oven cleanning is taking the things to bits and putting them back together.

I am thinking about doing an oven maintenance course if such a thing exists, then you can add oven repair to your service!

[richyp]

yeah, quite expensive like,, is it specialised?

[daysdeepclean]

I think the only reason it's so expensive is because a lot do a one on one course. So in that respect £400 a day in our line of business is half reasonable at a push I suppose.

I am personally confident with the mechanics of an oven, but I still come accross ovens that I've never seen before and require extra caution when taking them to bits.

I have thought about going on an oven course to see what I'm missing, but I could think of better things to spend £2k on! Perhaps if courses similar to IICRC but for oven cleaning were ran at no more than £500, I would enrol right away!

I was thinking of doing an oven cleaning course last year. I cant remember the name of the course, or who did it. But when the papoerwork came through it was £4,000-00!
Sod that says I.
My oven is still dirty 

[daysdeepclean]

All the correct equipment costs a lot less than the courses

[Steve Chapman]

why on earth would you need to go on a course for oven cleaning  :

its an oven, just get some astonish cleaner and clean it, job done 

[benny d]

^^ Dangerous attitude!^^

[Steve Chapman]

we've been doing it for 15 years, so i dont think so. Just need a little common sense, after all alot of  housewives clean there ovens without doing too much damage

Well said Steve.
Wife does ours and has it gleaming, it's not rocket science as I take it apart for her.

astonish  talk about making life difficult for yourself Each to there own though i suppose.

[Steve Chapman]

Think you'll find thats what the professional oven cleaning companies use like ovenclean, there's no liquid to damage the elements and keeps all the mess contained, obviously use a dip tank for all the removable parts like grills  & racks etc

But then what would i know !   :

[SteveAllan]

Im not saying it dont work just that i was trained by one of these "professional companies" and we dont use it. There is better and quicker products out there.

[Steve Chapman]

which are ?..........

Taking off and splitting the door takes a bit of training but its not rocket science like you said.

Never used Astonish though

[Steve Chapman]

My Bug bear is that some are willing to part with £2000 to be told how to clean an oven, ok some things yo need to go on a course for i.e. carpet cleaning, leather repair etc,  but surely with a little common sense you could figure it out, and most courses arent going to cover every oven or cooker you come across.

It would be cheaper to get a professional oven firm in and watch what they do, might not seem ethical but far more value for money!

[Bill1903]

Usually that 2 grand will include all equipment needed and 6 months worth of cleaning materials

If you think thats steep look into having a cleaning franchise like oven u etc

[Joe H]

Go on Bill1903, whats the cost of a franchise?

[clinton]

Joe

I guess 15 or 20 k for the ovenu franchise

[Bill1903]

Go on Bill1903, whats the cost of a franchise?
