How often should you clean your oven?

Some oven manufacturers sell their own cleaning products, but there’s no evidence they’re any better than off-the-shelf supermarket products – and they often cost a premium. What about using a conventional steam cleaner? Get yourself some Lakeland Oven Mate cleaner. This one will do the job very well.” (Vetted by Mumsnet user AlCalavicci) Our verdict If your oven is plagued by grease and grime that won’t budge no matter how hard you scrub, then it’s time to bring in the big guns. Many steam cleaners claim they can be used for oven cleaning, and that might work if your oven is only very lightly soiled. When it comes to heavily stained glass and caked-on grime, however, it’s unlikely that a domestic steam cleaner will make the slightest impression. All you can expect to end up with is a pile of wet tea towels. Can you use third-party oven cleaners with any oven?
