I Am Doing The Worst House Keeping Job Ever.

[Tilly2]

As the sun is shining, I put my oven on to self clean. To do this you have to take everything out of the oven and, consequently, I have a pile of yucky looking oven shelves to clean. I've done two but now I'm bored with the brillo pad.

Just on here for a bit of respite. Graham Norton is rubbish today, too.
I am grumpy!

[lady-janine]

can you soak the shelves in hot soapy water for about 15 mins. this helps lots.

[DTCwordfan]

As bad as this?

Or get Mr Tilly to do them.....

[berniecuddles]

everyone is getting grumpy on here, do you reckon its to do with the weather?

[pusskin]

I soak mine for an hour or two in soda crystals.
Much easier to clean Tilly,

[Psybbo]

Did you borrow some marigolds from mrs_o? Good luck. Fortunately that's OH's job here!

[tiggerblue10]

I've got a pile of both clothing and dishes to do. Can't be arsed but I'm gonna have to get off my backside soon as I've got family coming round later for roast diner!

[EcclesCake]

I bung mine in a black sack spray liberally with Mr Muscle and tie the bag off. Hey are then left over night before being bunged in a sink of hot water and soda crystals.

Not that I'm lazy or anything!

Oh and Oven Pride is brilliant. Just pop the shelves into the bag with the cleaner and leave overnight. Did mine a couple of months ago and they came out like new :o)

[DTCwordfan]

You did that to the OH along with the Ovenpride, tiggerblue - poor bloke.

[Tilly2]

They won't go in the sink and I don't have anything bigger. I don't want to put them in the bath because it's plastic and the soda might spoil the bath.....................will it?

No, DTC, not quite that bad.

[tiggerblue10]

ha ha!

Now that the daughter has left home, she made a real mess of the oven, I've bought an offer from a certain discount group and I am having my oven professionally cleaned, cheating I know, but it is the worst job in the world!

[DTCwordfan]

In the States had one of those ovens that went up to 1000F - brilliant - just a quick brush out of the ash - for the grills etc, the black bag trick overnight with oxyclean or mr muscle and then the sink and hey presto.

[mccfluff]

you clean ovens?

[Tilly2]

I do have pyrolytic ovens. It all the blooming shelves and trays.
Do Sainsbury's sell Oven Pride bags?

[tiggerblue10]

The bag is in the pack Tilly.

O Tilly, wish you hadn't posted this, its reminded me that is really what I need to do today which I had conveniently forgotten. Its the worst job of all, even worse than ironing.

[Tilly2]

Right, I'm off to Sainsbury's. Thanks for the tips everyone.
