As people generally have less leisure time these days, it makes sense to sub-contract chores to professionals. The oven cleaning sector has grown significantly over recent years. This reflects the trend within the service industry as a whole. Oven cleaning has always been a loathed task and one that has been easy to ignore.

Let's face it, it's easy to close the oven door and pretend that the mess is not there!

It's not until the next time that the oven is used that the need for professional oven cleaning becomes apparent and there are a few things that may alert you:

?A friend may comment on how nice the beef smells cooking in the oven and this can be somewhat embarrassing if you're cooking chicken at the time.
?Perhaps the smoke alarm will remind you that a call to an oven cleaning professional should be moved to the top of a priority list.
?Or it could just be the thought of all the grease and fat sitting there waiting to ignite that could prompt that call to an oven cleaning specialist.

There are many benefits with an oven valeting service but below is by far the most urgent:

?Firstly, the risk of subsequent fire is addressed. The British Crime Report 2002/3 shows a staggering 62% of house fires start in the kitchen. 63% of these fires are cooking related. An amazing 28% of cooking related fires start in a grill pan.

?The Ovenu oven valeting service will eliminate this risk. The oven will be perfectly clean. Your oven probably deserves this level of quality having worked so hard for you over the months.

Many people are now calling for professional oven cleaning help before they move house. It is probably fair to say that we can all live with a little of our own mess but the thought of inheriting another persons grease, fat and burnt on debris is stomach churning.

Property management companies are also seeing the benefit of using an outsourced oven cleaning service. Delighted tenants moving into a property that has a gleaming oven, spotless hob and a grease-free extractor that has had a new filter fitted.

So who do you choose to do the dreaded oven cleaning task for you? There is a wide range of so called 'expert' oven cleaners out there. Some know what they are doing, some have half an idea and some are frankly hopeless.

You want to end up having a pleasant experience using a professional oven cleaning and/or oven valeting service so do your research.

Just want to clear up a couple of oven cleaning 'myths' here.

?"All oven cleaning companies are the same" No they certainly are not.
?"Supermarket and catalogue oven cleaning sprays are all safe for me to use" Not so.
?"My 'self-cleaning' oven will clean itself" Maybe if you have a genuine article but the complete job won't be done.
?"I can do the job myself to the same standard" You could eventually if you have hours to spend struggling on your hands and knees rather than enjoying the more pleasant aspects of life in your time off.

So what makes the Ovenu service so popular in the oven cleaning industry?

OVENU offers clients the ultimate solution to the oven cleaning dilemma

?Quality Oven Cleaning / Valeting (from only trained employees).
?Value for money.
?A 1st class Service.

The Ovenu oven cleaning process is known as oven valeting rather than merely oven cleaning. Valeting is more thorough and will remove the grease, fat and carbon debris from ALL the oven surfaces.

This level of quality takes longer to achieve and may well incur a higher fee than a wipe round with some paste and a damp cloth! The question must be asked however "is it worth taking the risk for the sake of a few pounds?" Can't be.

1.Your Ovenu representative will arrive punctually in a fully sign-written van and will be dressed in 'uniform' to carry out your oven cleaning and valeting work for you.
2.The second benefit is that these operators work as their own business so you can rest assured that they will want to see you again in the future. This guarantees you top service.
3.The third major benefit is that your Ovenu technician has been fully trained in all aspects of oven cleaning and oven valeting. Every Ovenu technician goes through the same oven cleaning course as valeting is that much more thorough than oven cleaning and this involves a lot of training.

You can rest assured that your Ovenu specialist will know what they are doing to produce spectacular results.

You may well be impressed by the level of courtesy extended to both you and your home. Perhaps it will be the covering of your hallway floor with a waterproof sheet, or perhaps the covering of the complete working area in the kitchen. We believe that these little touches will ensure your total satisfaction as this may even be your first experience of professional oven cleaning.


We want you to recommend the OVENU service to your family and friends.

You will probably be able to find oven cleaning generally at a lower price. This makes sense as the time taken will be less, there won't be the same courtesy extended to you and your home and many other factors will come into play.

One of these factors could well be insurance cover. Your OVENU technician will be fully insured during his visit. Many will claim to be fully insured. Beware....this must lead to another question. "Does the cover extend to the items that are being worked on?? This will not apply to the thousands of insurance policies available. Don't be afraid to ask because very rarely something may not go according to plan.

Many oven cleaning products that are available in supermarkets contain something called sodium hydroxide. This is better known as caustic soda. These products should not be used on many oven parts. It says so on the back of the can!

The Ovenu range of professional oven cleaning products do not contain caustic soda. This makes the products suitable for all oven parts including 'self clean'.

The next benefit of using the Ovenu service is that the process oven cleaning tank and equipment in the custom equipped van is made only from hygiene grade stainless steel. This may not be the case with a provider of a cheap oven cleaning offering.
Using the correct material prevents the possibility of contamination. We are dealing with oven parts that you are going to use for cooking. The last thing you probably want is a nasty 'after-taste' having used a cheap oven cleaning service. Using the Ovenu service however, all of your oven parts will have been rinsed in a fresh, clean cold bath and dried and polished before being put back together. Very reassuring and nothing short of what you should expect.

So, the picture is hopefully becoming clear. As in most things in life, you really only get what you pay for. The oven cleaning business is no different.

Oven cleaning is one thing and oven valeting is a different standard......probably a little more money but well worth the extra peace of mind. Or, put another way, better overall value for getting things done 'right first time'.

We hope that you will therefore consider OVENU as your first choice for all your oven cleaning and oven valeting requirements.

Book early for Xmas....the mother-in-law may be on her way!!!
