Dwayne from Oven express
Last month as I was sitting at a red light in peek hour traffic and I noticed a van beside me that boasted oven cleaning. I scratched around for a pen and copied down the number, thinking what a good idea this would be. I never have the time for oven cleaning, besides it’s always on and I’m baking something. Life never ceases to bowl up a surprise and that is just what I got when I checked my emails the next day. I received an email from Oven Express offering a review of their services. A happy, spooky coincidence.
Texting, is very convenient
Someone rang me to organise a time, and that is the most strenuous thing I had to do. They texted the night before, and then again to say they were running late.
Surprisingly Oven express is a 7 year old company. They work 7 days a week form 8am to 7pm in an effort to fit in with busy lives. They are Sydney based and service and clean ovens and BBQ’s & even microwaves . Bbq’s are of course a popular service they fulfill , especially as Christmas and summer roll around. A clean takes around two hours with bits and pieces soaked in the van and then scrubbed by hand. And bonus…they use eco-friendly cleaning solutions. So how did it go?
Dwayne arrives and gets stuck straight in

The door comes off ready for cleaning

Tools of the trade
Love a man with gloves and Dwayne cleans every bit
Scrubbing on hands and knees is all part of the job
Eek the door!

She’s never looked so good
What’s not to love about somebody cleaning your oven or BBQ. Especially if they do a good job, are well mannered neat and clean. Prices start from $120.00 for an oven/stove combo including range hood and filters and from $150.00 for BBQ. As he was cleaning I thought this would be a great thing to do if you are moving house or as the perfect gift. Ha, Christmas could be wrapped up here.
You may have noticed my poor excuse for a kitchen in my rented house. This is the kitchen everything is pumped from round here. Most of my friends find that amusing! Oven Express worked with the what I had and did an fantastic job.
Oven Express you are amazing
Visit them here or like them here . What a good idea. 1800 325 773
My Kitchen Stories was offered a service in exchange for this review. The review is a true and honest account of the service provided.
I just read about the oven-cleaning man on Charlie’s blog and I am all in favour of a man cleaning – especially ovens. He does a fabulous job.

Oh I so want them to come to Canberra! My oven is on nearly every day, and sometimes several times a day. Yesterday dinner was in the oven art 11:30 am and ticked away for 7 hours, it would have been nice to check it from time to time but I can’t through the glass at the moment 🙂 It looks like a wonderful service indeed, and great value too xox

It’s always the door that confounds me when I’m cleaning the oven – it never sparkles. What a great idea especially if you are using the oven every day. I’m impressed that Dwayne put down towels on the floor too. And I had no idea a service like this even existed!

What a cool service! I hate to clean the oven, but having someone over to clean it would cost quite a bit…and I am worry about the chemical they use…

They have one of those up here on the coast and I was wondering if it would be worth it. Even a few times a year would be a big boost. 🙂

That is amazing. What a fabulous concept. I hate cleaning my oven.
I love having a clean oven as much as I love a clean car and these are two jobs I just love to out source. I figure if you use your oven enough for it to be dirty, you’re worthy of a mobile oven cleaning service because of all that money you’ve saved not buying takeaway! xx

Don’t suppose they have a Brisbane branch? My only concern is the products they use but these guys sound perfect for me!
