9 Reasons Why Homeowners In Essex Need Professional Oven Cleaning

Each year over 3.6 million people throughout the UK fail to clean their oven at least once a month. Since 2007  we have stood by the fact that we believe that every homeowner in Essex should get their oven cleaned by an oven cleaning professional every 6-12 weeks. We have listed below 9 reasons why you should frequently get your oven cleaned including the benefits that it will bring you.

1. Avoid Health Issues

Every year there are 2.4 million cases of food-related illnesses, much of which can be attributed to having a dirty oven. Dirty ovens can facilitate the buildup of grease and grime which can then allow the growth of harmful bacteria. Harmful bacteria buildup in your oven can cause serious health issues. like E. coli, salmonella and food poisoning which occurs when bacteria land on food which you cook in the oven which you subsequently eat. Consisting of using an oven which has significant grime and tartar buildup can also produce smoke and bad smells which contain harmful chemicals which are subsequently bad for your health when you breathe them in. In severe cases, this can also pollute the air throughout the whole of your house which can increase health risks for your family members and other members of your house. 

How Can Regular Oven Cleaning Keep Me & My Family Healthy?

Regular oven cleaning results in using chemicals and advanced cleaning methods to reduce any build-up of grime or scum in your oven, which then allows any bacteria to be fully cleaned away ensuring that any food that you cook is cooked without containing any bacteria or harmful residue while not producing any harmful gasses. These best practices ensure that you remain healthy and free from any food-related illnesses.

No More Bad Smells And Surface Buildup

Frequent oven cleaning is essential to keep bad smells and stubborn grime at bay. Over time, grease, food spills, and burnt-on bits build up inside and outside of the oven which create unpleasant odours that can spread through your kitchen and house every time you cook. 

3. Increase Your Ovens Efficiency

Oven performance efficiency is reduced when heating elements and fans contain burnt-on food and grease which reduces heat circulation which requires your oven to work harder in order to reach optimal cooking temperatures. 

Studies show that by frequently having your oven cleaned by a professional, you can improve the energy efficiency of your oven by up to 20%. This is achieved by cleaning all of the grime and burnt food buildup out of your oven and from within the mechanical components of your oven which allows heat to enter and circulate faster while requiring less effort, subsequently improving your levels of efficiency.

4. Save Money On Energy Bills

Having a clean oven can help to reduce your energy bills. This is achieved by improving your oven’s efficiency levels, resulting in your oven using less energy to reach and maintain optimal cooking temperatures, which subsequently saves you money. 

5. Less Chances Of Being Subject To High Repair Bills

Having a clean oven can help prevent costly repair bills by reducing the wear and tear on its key components. When grease and burnt-on food build up, they can clog fans, cover heating elements, and block vents, all of which force the oven to work harder and can lead to overheating or damage. This extra strain can cause parts like the thermostat, fan motor, or heating elements to fail sooner than normal. Grease buildup can also increase the risk of electrical faults and even fires. By keeping your oven clean, you help it run smoothly which helps to avoid unnecessary breakdowns and extend its lifespan, subsequently saving you from expensive repairs or early replacement. Oven repairs cost an average of £130, with new gas ovens costing between £200 – £1,000 and electric ovens costing between £130 – £1,800.

6. Spend More Time With Loved Ones

Fully deep cleaning your oven by hand without professional equipment can take between 1.5-3 hours, which is time that you could easily spend on better things such as spending valuable time with close family members, friends and other loved ones. With the time that you would be saving from cleaning your oven, you could be out and about in Essex, visiting fun places while creating happy memories for years to come. Getting a professional oven cleaner to clean your oven for you can therefore allow you to turn this idea into reality.

7. Compliance With Rental Agreements

If you’re renting a property, according to the Tenant Fees Act, you must hand back your rented property in the condition in which you found it. Although having your oven cleaned professionally isn’t a legal requirement, you must still hand it back clean which means that you must be able to fully clean it if it is not clean. Handing your flat back with a dirty, grease-covered oven could lead to deductions from your security deposit. If you don’t feel as if you could clean your oven to high enough standards, our team of professional oven cleaners have the right tools and expertise to give your oven a deep, thorough clean, making sure it meets the high standards your landlord would expect during the end-of-tenancy inspections. By hiring professionals, you save time, avoid stress, and ensure you leave your rental in perfect shape, without risking loosing your security deposit.

8. Enjoy Cooking More

Having a clean and hygienic place to cook can help you to enjoy cooking more. There’s nothing worse than trying to cook in an environment that has lots of grease, burnt-on food, and grime build-up. Having your oven and appliances regularly cleaned by professionals gives you the ultimate reassurance that your oven is thoroughly cleaned and safe which reduces stress, allowing you to focus on the creativity and joy of cooking without worrying about cleaning and maintenance. 

9. Be Proud Of Your Kitchen
