HGOven, Grill & Barbecue Cleaner Spray, Removes Baked On Food & Burnt-in Grease Fast, For Kitchen & Outdoors (500 ml) (Packaging may vary)

TLDR: Definitely NOT a waste of money. Amazing product, works exactly as stated, exceeded expectations. A bit of elbow grease required to remove, but otherwise easy to use.My goodness.I need a moment. I'm all a-twitter.My husband has lived in our flat for nearly 10 years now, and in all the time I've known him he's never once cleaned the oven. And your day-to-day grime and grease has built up, topped off by what shall henceforth be known as The Cake Incident™ a few days ago, whereby an over-filled cake tin spilled sugary, fatty chocolate cake mix onto the floor of the oven and caused a Vesuvian smoke cloud to fill our kitchen.In a post-10pm panic, I went hunting on Amazon for cleaning goods. I knew we would need a heavy-duty substance to tackle this beast of a bakery disaster. After trawling through reviews, filling my cart with various substances of varying causticness and alleged efficacy, I stumbled across the HG 138050106 Oven, Grill and Barbeque Cleaner. The cheapest of the bunch, I found myself suspicious but desperate. Works in 3-5 minutes? What? This can't be. Oven cleaners take overnight commitment in my experience.So the alleged miracle substance arrived today, wrapped in plastic with a slight leak from where it had been stored slightly improperly (heed ye the warning to keep the bottle upright for sure). I donned my gloves, removed the plastic and rinsed the bottle, despairing as the instructions on the label started to rinse away. Thankfully enough remained for me to review the details of how to use, and I set about assaulting the blackened, charred interior of our cooker.The spray is very foamy, though rather narrow (not sure if there's another nozzle setting, I was just eager to get going). It's very easy to control and apply, though there will be a lot of squirting involved to cover the surfaces required. There is a very slight odour of cleaning product, but even in our windowless, unventilated kitchen at no point did it become unpleasant, overwhelming or provoke physical symptoms.With the dire state of our oven's inside and the glass door that conceals it, I made sure the surfaces were utterly slathered and decided of my own volition to give a generous 10-15 minutes for it to work. I left the oven door open, so it would work on the glass in a horizontal position and not leak down onto the kitchen floor.Upon the appointed time, I returned to the kitchen to find the formerly snowy white streaks of foam now a grimy, greasy brown and with Marigolds donned and sponge in hand, I set to wiping down the offending surfaces.HOLY HICKITY HECK, y'all. It straight up REMOVES so much of the grease and baked-on food. The glass will need another application or two, there are some really stubborn spots, especially around the seal. But everything is the cleanest I've ever seen. The floor of the oven is SO CLEAN. I can see through the glass! IN LESS THAN TWENTY MINUTES. The other oven cleaner I got as a just in case dictates 4 hours minimum, preferably overnight!Wiping down the foam and properly cleaning the oven afterward is a bit of a bear. You need to wipe out the foam with a damp sponge, then wash a few times with soapy water and to be careful I would suggest a final rinse with hot, clean water. So I give it 4 stars there, because mobility-wise I've got some issues and that does make it a bit trickier and harder to manage, but otherwise wow. Just wow.Five stars. 11/10. Well done, HG. You've got a newly committed customer.

I don't know whether there's a shortage on Mr Muscle oven cleaner in the shops, that's why I bought this stuff, thought I'd give it a go. Surprised it works, I liked that it's a foam, bit like snow foam for the car, all the grease just slides down. Didn't have to scrub much and it doesn't stink and get on your chest, which was a big plus for me. I ended up putting a pair of gloves on because it started irrating my hands. Also there's not enough it doesn't spread well and end up having to loads on. I cleaned the air fryer, cooker hood and hobs and it was gone. I would buy it again though it did a good job.

This is great, you can use it on a cold oven. For stubborn stains you might want to do it twice. It smells ok no need to have a well ventilated room.

I've ordered and used this product several times and I'm still impressed how well it works and does not cost an absolute fortune to buy. I have found that when spraying it on surfaces in all states of greasiness or charcoaling from cooking, it's done it's job very well. On stubborn charcoal I have had to apply it twice or 3 times to remove it but I've had to do even worse with inferior products or waste whole spray cans or bottles. If the stain or charcoal is really bad I prefer to use a damp non-scratch sponge to spread the foam out evenly and let it soak in and rinse it off after 10 minutes or more if needed and then do the same again until done and for any really awkward cooking stains and charcoal I scrape it off with a razor scraper because it softens the charcoal. This product takes most of the hard work out of it though and I've bought other cleaners that pretend to remove everything and have failed miserably. I need to advise that the contents can really irritate your hands if you don't wear rubber gloves or you don't wash it off as soon as you can when using it but the irritation is a lot milder than experienced with other products and nothing to worry about - your hands just become a bit redder, dry and itchy at worst. It doesn't leave an aftersmell on surfaces like others or leave a taste that can transfer to food when cleaning pans or ovens if rinsed off well. The spray bottle is good quality too and the nozzle gives good froth when used and has a safely lock on it to avoid accidental spraying and just needs a quick rinse under the tap every time you use it to keep it clear. I won't be changing to any other product soon as I'm very happy with purchasing this brand and also used their mould remover too and that's worked just as well in the bathroom.

This does work really well but there isn’t enough in one bottle to do a fairly small oven. It suggests that you might want to spray it a second time to fully clean but I didn’t even get all the areas of my oven done once. It is powerful stuff and most of the oven wouldn’t need two applications. Maybe make the spray more efficient so it spreads better.
