Verdict: Everyday Cleaning Done Right
This list proves that you don’t need gloves, bags, or overnight soak kits to keep your oven in good shape. For most households, it’s the daily spray-downs and quick wipes that stop grime from building up in the first place.
Products like Flash, Mr Muscle, and Cif lead the pack for a reason — they work fast, cut through grease, and make the job feel effortless. But there’s also room for value heroes like Astonish and Elbow Grease, as well as eco-minded options like Method and Ecover that perform well for light maintenance.
Whether you’re cleaning after every meal or just trying to stay ahead of the mess, these sprays are genuine everyday performers — not diluted multi-surface pretenders. And with prices ranging from under £1 to just over £3, keeping your oven clean doesn’t have to cost you time, effort, or much money.
