READ ENTIRE LABEL BEFORE REMOVING CAP. REFER TO OVEN MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS. FOR USE ON COLD OVENS. If you look longingly at your oven and pine for the days when it was newly fitted and gleaming, this three-product kit is for you.

To get your oven door looking as good as new, gently lift off heavy dirt with a metal spatula or ceramic hob scraper before applying your oven cleaner. Some ovens allow you to remove the door entirely, which might make cleaning easier. We had to reapply and leave overnight to start to shift some of the worst deposits but the result still wasn’t spotless.While it doesn’t suggest the use of gloves or eye protection, it does have a warning about chemical burns, so it’s probably best to wear some. After rinsing, the oven was spotless. Some residue was visible once the shelves and interior had dried but this could be wiped away. We found that the brush was effective at spreading product around the oven and that it clung well on the sides. Being able to paint it on to specific places was useful rather than just spraying and hoping there was enough product where it was required.

The gel turned brown as it worked, so after two hours we wiped some away. However, not all the grease came off, so we left it for another hour. Always follow the instructions on your can. There is more than one type of Mr Muscle Oven Cleaner and they may have slightly different instructions. Unwanted Food or Drink Products - Once supply conditions are broken, there are a number of factors outside of our control that can affect the quality of a product. Therefore perishable goods such as food and drink cannot be returned. When the time is up, open the door and wipe the oven out thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove all traces of the cleaner. Wear rubber gloves to do this. Learn about the ingredients in this product so you can make informed choices for your family and home.It’s non-caustic, containing anionic surfactants, non-ionic surfactants and EDTA (a chelating agent) as well as pleasant-smelling limolene to do its work. Despite this, it still advises the use of gloves and eye protection and suggest between 15-60 minutes to do its work. It required another couple of applications to get rid of smaller spots of baked on grease. Wiping it away with a damp cloth was straightforward and no residue was left behind. Close the oven door and leave the product to work. For some Mr Muscle products, the instructions state to leave for no more than 30 minutes, while other products can be left for up to two hours. In testing, we enjoyed the fruity smell and found that it worked quite well on smaller greasy patches but didn’t remove very burnt-on dirt the first time – this needed repeat applications. It also required more effort than most to apply it and thoroughly rinse away (as it foamed a little with water) so there wasn’t any residue left.

The foam is both caustic and smells strongly of chemicals – you’ll also find anionic surfactants and aliphatic hydrocarbons (degreasing solvents) in the mix. Never spray it on the oven trim or seals, pilot light or heating element as the chemicals could damage these parts. Prepare your oven properlyThe remainder of the cleaning solution can be used to clean inside the oven, which melts grease away in four hours. The solution contains anionic and amphoteric surfactants and is caustic, so requires some care while using. Although we use heat in our impeccable oven cleaning process, Mr Muscle can only be used on cold ovens as heat can react with its ingredients. The large bag easily accommodated all our oven shelves and supports plus the grill pan. It sealed securely but we found it hard to remove all the air from the bag so we could wrap it around the shelves as suggested by instructions.
