Why have your oven professionally deep cleaned Versus cleaning it your self ?

What we have found at Cookerburra is that most people struggle when trying to clean their oven themselves for a variety of reasons.

• The oven racks, trays, pot supports etc, do not fit in the kitchen sink
• Customers are unsure as to what chemicals to use and how safe they are when bought from supermarkets or DIY stores
• By not knowing how to remove an oven door means that people struggle to clean the back of the oven, oven fan let alone up behind the grill
• They are unaware on how to separate the oven door to clean any smears or runs
• They are forced to put time aside either during the week or at weekends, when they could have spent valuable time doing other things
• Putting the time aside either during the week or at weekends, when they could be doing other things

Having your oven professionally deep cleaned, by fully trained and insured technicians/ operators, allows us to take all the above away from you.

What is the history of Cookerburra?

Trading since 1993, Cookerburra was the first oven cleaning company in the UK, and has created an industry in the service sector unto itself. Michael Holloway, one of the founders worked as a chef and realised that as in commercial kitchens where there was a build up of carbon and kitchens sinks were not big enough to accommodate the oven racks and pot supports, that the same applied to people with household ovens.

Having seen the gap in the market, he and his fellow business partner David Dymond conducted market research in Reading in the middle of 1993, as to what people would expect from an oven cleaning service, what would they be prepared to pay, how often they would like it cleaned. They cleaned three ovens their first day on October 25th 1993, and such was the demand they had their second van on the road three months later.

The original concept was to operate Cookerburra through out the UK, based on a franchise basis where operators can run a tried and tested system based on eight years experience delivering consistent high levels of standards. Cookerburra launched its first Franchise in 2001 and has been expanding ever since.

Can Cookerburra clean "Self Cleaning Ovens"?

Yes, Cookerburra operators are fully trained to clean self clean ovens and our range of products are specifically designed to cope with all types of ovens. Self cleaning ovens often comprise of self clean interiors and/or liners designed to burn off debris left behind from Cooking. However, many do not reach the high temperature needed to produce the required result. Many Cookerburra customers comment on how difficult it can be to clean such ovens themselves, as these liners "hide" the majority of grease and fat build up.

Your local Cookerburra operator will however be able to remove all such fat, grease and carbon deposits and leave your oven sparkling again, particularly in those hard to reach areas around the main element and even the fan.
