No 7. Mr Muscle Oven Cleaner
The name you'd mostly likely to say if asked "Name an oven cleaner".
How to use: follow the instructions on the can. It sprays out as foam. Says on the instructions not to spray at the fan!
Pros
Cons
Conclusion:
it's a brand that people buy to use to clean their ovens because it's been around a long time. But they will use it incorrectly, they will open the door and spray and it hits the back of the oven going everywhere. This damages the fan itself, as it can't be removed without taking the fan cover off. The back element gets covered too. Also often the cleaner is not wiped out properly leaving a residue that, over time, rusts the oven - fitting screws, racks, fan, grill element, back element. The aerosol application makes it even more dangerous.
#7th Rated
Our Score 5 out of 10
I'm seen the aftermath of oven cleaned using this product. It may clean them if used probably, but often it isn't. It comes in last position because of the way it is applied in an aerosol which means the danger of getting on your hands, face or inhaling it are increased.
No 6. Vinegar and Baking Soda
Cheap effective oven cleaner you can mix up from products you already have.
How to use: Mix a half a cup of baking soda into a solution with water. Spread the paste over the oven parts to be cleaned. Leave for 12 hours. Wipe out with a damp cloth. Use the vinegar in a spray bottle to remove any remaining residue of baking soda (it will foam).
Pros
Cons
Conclusion:
it's easy to use and relatively safe. But can be messy and take a lot of time and effort. Results will be okay but not 100%. Not good on doors.

Our Score 5 out of 10
The mixture is messy and can be difficult to get off if it drys. I don't personally like using vinegar because I have seen the damage to range cookers, in particular AGA cookers caused by acid damage.
No 5 Oven Mate Oven Cleaner
It;s got a brush, it;s got gloves.
How to use: Mix some of this paste with water and apply with the sponge - included in the tub. Leave for a few minutes and then wipe off.
Pros
Cons
Conclusion:
In the professional oven cleaning world most of our competitors use a product that is similar to this. That is has a high Potassium Hydroxide content. They wear protective gear to protect themselves. It may work well but the safety aspect means it's doesn't get our vote.

I good product that is comes with a brush and gloves. Doesn't have a bag and instructions need to be read as care needs to be taken in its use. We give this 0 out of 10.
No 4 Oven Brite Oven Cleaning Liquid and bag.
A bag, gloves and oven cleaning solution. Everything you need? No!
How to use: its comes with a bag and gloves. You pour the solution into the bag and leave for a few hours to work. But please follow the instructions as this stuff isn't safe.
Pros
Cons
Conclusion:
A easy to use oven cleaner that can get your racks clean with no or little scrubbing. It needs a long to work. But after reading the instructions it wouldn't be something you'd want to keep in your home .

I've given this product 5 of 10 and the very similar and better know Oven Pride 6 out of 10. Do you really want to use this stuff?
No 3 Oven Pride Oven Cleaning Liquid and bag.
Recommend Oven Cleaner by Which. it must be good.. errr.
How to use: it comes with a bag and gloves. You take out the racks from the oven and place them in the rack. You leave them and then take out the racks. You rinse them off. Also you can put the solution in your oven and leave that too. They should be clean without any additional work required.
Pros
Cons
Conclusion:
A easy to use oven cleaner that can get your racks clean with no or little scrubbing. It needs to be left 4 hours or more to do its work. Easy to read instructions on box. But you really need to be careful when using this product, ensure you read and follow the instructions. Because it has the bag it get the racks and shelves of your oven clean though.

A product to avoid for home use because of the potential risks and harm it can cause. It's not safe to have in a modern home.
No 2. Stardrops Pink Stuff General Cleaner 500g
THE MIRACLE PINK PASTE CLEANER,
How to use: Mix some of this paste with water and apply with the sponge. Leave for a few minutes and then wipe off. Clean glass too.
Pros
Cons
Conclusion:
When Astonished changed their product range we trialled this product to use to clean ovens professionally and it works very well. We love it and so does Mrs Hinch. But at a push if we have the choice we would still pay extra to get the new Astonish range of Oven and Grill cleaner because of its awards and credentials. .

We love this product and use it everyday. It's also our product of 2020.
Our Verdict: The Best UK Oven Cleaner of 2020 as recommended by OvenGleamers is
Astonish Oven Cleaning Paste. Because it's the product we have been using for 16 years and we have cleaned thousands of ovens, range cookers, and AGA cookers with it. Also it cleans stainless steel and is an all round cleaner for your home. We also would go for the new Premium edition with the larger pot and sponge inside the pot.
