Oven-cleaning is easier than you might think, and it can make cooking and baking more enjoyable. Cleaning your oven not only helps it retain heat, but it is also more hygienic. Check out our helpful step-by-step guide on how to clean your oven.
Safety tip: Always wear the appropriate safety equipment (gloves and a mask, for example) and always follow the instructions for the product or equipment.
Carefully remove any racks or trays from inside the oven. Place these to the side; we’ll come back to them later.
Take a cloth and run it under the tap for a few seconds to dampen it. Using the damp cloth, give the oven a general wipe down to clear away any large crumbs, gunk or general waste leftover from previous use.
Now that your oven is crumb-free, give your oven cleaner a good shake or refer to the directions on the bottle for best practice. Start by spraying the roof of the oven, followed by the sides and finishing with the oven door. Make sure the kitchen is well-ventilated for this step.
Make sure all surfaces are well-coated with foam before closing the oven door for a minimum of 30 minutes. This waiting period is what will do the heavy lifting on all residual grease and grime.
After the 30 minutes is up, use a damp cloth to wipe the oven clean and remove any excess foam. Repeat this step with the oven racks and trays.
Carefully slide the racks back in and voila! A freshly cleaned oven.

Asbestos, lead-based paints and copper chromium arsenic (CCA) treated timber are health hazards you need to look out for when renovating older homes. These substances can easily be disturbed when renovating and exposure to them can cause a range of life-threatening diseases and conditions including cancer. For information on the dangers of asbestos, lead-based paint and CCA treated timber and tips for dealing with these materials contact your local council's Environmental Health Officer or visit our Health & Safety page.
When following our advice in our D.I.Y. videos, make sure you use all equipment, including PPE, safely by following the manufacturer’s instructions. Check that the equipment is suitable for the task and that PPE fits properly. If you are unsure, hire an expert to do the job or talk to a Bunnings Team Member.
