I have heard you can use biological powder, has anyone tried it and had good results, or can anyone suggest other household products. Thanks

Buy a product called Astonish (you can get it in Homebase). it is a tub of paste which you rub on gently and it cleans all sorts of things brilliantly. it is also sold under a slightly different name in catelogues like Kleeneasy but its basically the same thing. Also wonderful for cleaning plastic garden furniture.

For approximately £60 you can get somebody in to do it for you. It will come up like new!! Trust me, I had it done a while ago as I was selling the cooker along with the house when I moved and couldn't leave it the way it was. I used Cookaburra (not sure if I've got the spelling right there) but they are a franchise and have operators all over the UK. Look for them in Yellow Pages.

Depends on the muck!
Try bicarb as suggested above, or a squeeze of lemon in hot water. Biological washing powder can do the trick as well. Do try to avoid chemical products - oven cleaners tend to be very strong. If you need to ensure the room is well-ventilated while you're using the product, what on earth is in it?!
Whatever you use, if it's really mucky you'll need lots of elbow grease so the best way to clean your oven is not to spill anything on it in the first place!!

If you have a dish washer put all the racks in on a hot pan wash, this will save you scrubbing them they come out shining like new, then use Mr Muscles oven cleaner on the insides just heat the oven a little spray it on leave, then wipe clean. If you do this regularly say once a week (depending on how often you use the oven) then you will find it only takes minutes to clean.

I can suggest two household products that will keep your cooker spotless and another outside element as well.
1. The kids
2. The microwave
3. Takeaway food

Mr Muscle Oven Foam Cleaner works well. Just spray the foam in and leave for half an hour or so then rub off with a damp cloth. This works well on the shelves too.

Here's an alternative. When we moved house, we were looking for carpet cleaners and stumbled across overn cleaners. Yes a chap turned up in a van, and for around £40 (here in the UK) he gave our old cooker a new lease of life.
Just a thought.

By cooker, do you mean pot? If so, I just put the detergent in and let it sit in water for about 30 minutes. It really works. I made caramel apples and all the caramels burned. I was sure I'd have to throw the pot out, but it came out. Edited to add I have this 75cent plastic scraper, it's just a 2 inch little square I got from Pampered Chef. It cleans anything, you just scrape the junk off.

Use Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Duo. It won't take you hours for srcubbing but only minutes to finish a neat job. Just don't forget to wipe your cooker dry and clean. You may also check out this site http://www.upkb.com/mrclean.php for more cleaning tips and product details.

bicarbonate of soda mixed into a paste - leave it on for a while, then rub off with warm water.
Alternatively, the best and easiest ever cooker cleaner is sold by Lakeland.co.uk. I cant remember the name of it but if you look at their site it is easy to find. You just spray it on, it foams up, wipe off and its really good.
