One of the most common questions we get asked about oven cleaning services is: how long after cleaning the oven can I cook? The answer depends on the oven cleaning products that have been used. There’s a noticeable difference between an eco-friendly DIY oven cleaning solution, a shop-bought oven cleaner and commercial oven cleaning products.

Eco-friendly DIY oven cleaning solution

If you decide to clean your oven with a home-mixed solution, such as white vinegar and baking soda, you can use your oven to cook straight away after you’ve finished cleaning. There’s no need to ventilate or wait for a long time, because you’re using natural products – one of the benefits of using a DIY oven cleaning solution.

Shop-bought oven cleaning products

When using shop-bought home oven cleaning products, always read the label and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Some products may allow you to cook right after cleaning, where others will require you to leave your oven for a period of time before using it to cook

Commercial oven cleaning products

The great thing about commercial oven cleaning products is that they’re super effective at cleaning ovens. The downside is that they tend to be a lot more potent and, as such, need to be removed from the oven before you use it for cleaning.

After cleaning, give the oven a good wipe down with a moist cloth and then heat the oven to its maximum temperature for about 15-20 minutes. This will allow any chemical residue to be burned off – though make sure you open the windows in your kitchen as it might cause some smoke to come out of the oven.

Self-cleaning ovens

If you have a self-cleaning oven, you can usually cook in the oven right after the oven has cooled down and you’ve cleaned out the ash. The self-cleaning feature typically takes around 30 - 90 minutes in total – during which time the oven door will remain locked.

A professional oven cleaning company will typically use a variety of commercial oven cleaning products, depending on their preference and experience. Some of the common chemicals found in professional oven cleaning products include caustic soda, dichloromethane and ethylene glycol.

Due to the toxic nature of oven cleaning products, they should always be handled with care, never ingested, and not left unattended in homes with children or animals.

Benefits of hiring an oven cleaning company

There are a number of reasons why hiring a professional oven cleaning service might be the right option for you and your home, such as:

• It saves you the time, hassle and mess of doing it yourself

How to clean an oven

If you fancy rolling up your sleeves and tackling your dirty oven yourself, you’re in luck. We’ve put together a handy guide that shows you how to clean an oven. Here’s a brief overview of the three stages of oven cleaning:

1. Clean the oven door – Most ovens doors have a glass pane that you can remove to make cleaning easier

2. Clean the roof of the oven – It can be a little tricky but take your time to rid your oven roof of dirt and grime

3. Clean the oven tray – The final part of oven cleaning is to clean the tray where burnt food and dirt often accumulates

Always take care when cleaning your oven and keep the kitchen well ventilated during and after cleaning, to ensure any toxic chemicals don’t build up in the room.

The best way to find out if your oven is self-cleaning is to go to the manufacturer’s website and check the specification and features of your oven’s make and model. It should clearly state if a self-cleaning feature is available for your particular oven.

How does a self-cleaning oven work?

A self-cleaning oven has a built-in feature that allows it to carry out a ‘deep clean’ at the touch of a button. Using a process called pyrolysis, self-cleaning ovens use an extreme level of their own heat to break down dirt and grime – up to a temperature of 480°C.

The great thing about a self-cleaning oven is that you don’t need to use oven cleaning products, and you can literally hit a button and the oven will clean itself.

During the self-cleaning process, which can take roughly 90-120 minutes, the oven will self-lock to avoid the door being opened whilst reaching extremely high temperatures. Once it reaches the maximum temperature, all dirt, grease and grime is effectively burnt to dust – which you can then simply wipe away once the oven has cooled down.

Most self-cleaning ovens will have multiple settings to accommodate cleaning for heavily soiled ovens and lighter economy cleaning, which uses less energy.

The amount of time you need to ventilate after cleaning an oven will depend on the cleaning process and the oven cleaning products used. As a general rule, for eco-friendly DIY cleaning solutions you don’t need to ventilate after oven cleaning.

For shop-bought oven cleaning products you’ll need to follow the manufacturer’s instructions, but you can typically expect to ventilate the oven for around 20-60 minutes – depending on the specific oven cleaning product you use.

If commercial cleaning products are used to clean the oven, you’ll need to allow 30-90 minutes of ventilation after cleaning the oven. Commercial oven cleaning products are more potent and toxic than domestic products or home remedies.

Benefits of regular oven cleaning

Keeping your oven clean comes with a number of benefits for you, your home and your family…

• Food tastes better when cooked in a clean oven

• You’ll save money on energy bills because clean ovens work more efficiently

• Reduce the risk of an oven fire, as clean ovens are much less likely to catch on fire

• Regular cleaning means that less effort is required for each time you clean
