Mr Muscle Oven Cleaner, 300ml (Pack of 1)

Product Information

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. 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.

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. It contains sodium etasulfate (a low-foaming anionic surfactant) and caustic soda, so you’ll need to don eye protection and gloves when you use it but on the plus side, it’s odourless and inoffensive to use. For stubborn stains or heavily soiled ovens, you may not be able to get it clean with a leave-on detergent. We had to reapply and leave overnight to start to shift some of the worst deposits but the result still wasn’t spotless.

Prepare your oven properly

Shake the can well. Spray onto your oven’s interior surfaces from a distance of 20 to 30cm, keeping the can upright at all times. Never spray it on the oven trim or seals, pilot light or heating element as the chemicals could damage these parts. Prepare your oven properly

For the most thorough results, use a specially designed oven cleaner. Follow the instructions on its label, let fresh air flow through your kitchen and always wear rubber gloves. Learn about the ingredients in this product so you can make informed choices for your family and home. The 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.After using an oven cleaner, rinse the surfaces and door and wipe dry. To make sure there’s no remaining product and to remove the cleaner’s smell, heat the oven to 200C for at least 10 minutes before cooking. Aim to clean your oven at least every three months, or whenever you notice burnt-on dirt accumulating. Smoke building up when you're baking is another sign that you need to dig out the oven cleaner. Read the entire label before removing cap:Refer to ovenmanufacturers instructions for use on cold ovens. After 30 minutes we wiped it away. The first layer of grease had been penetrated and was removed but some burnt patches remained. 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.
