Doktor Power Oven Cleaner sounds like it means business and it does. The product is another Which? Best Buy, capable of removing stubborn oven stains including baked on fat and oil. A little solution is poured into the oven and applied with a sponge. It’s left to soak for 4 hours and then wiped off with a cloth. The oven racks are placed in a separate cleaning bag. You pour the super-strong solution into the bag, seal, wait and then rinse with hot soapy water. The mess stays in the bag (a very clever trick) leaving the racks spotless and gleaming.

Doktor Power Oven Cleaner, available at £4.99 from ASDA and Robert Dyas
