I am deeply impressed by all these housewifely skills - I was in teh back row with my bum in the air when these skills were handed out! Luckily I am very short-sighted!

I use a paint scraper(the kind with a blade) to scrape anything burnt on my oven glass doors then polish with a microfiber cloth they come up like new . The scraping does no harm to the glass.

You can pay people to come and clean your cooker - sounds the best idea to me! My cooker has a cobweb in between the glass doors - I choose to regard it as an interesting piece of modern art!

Lakeland seem to have something for every cleaning need. Do you have a store nearby? Or you could look online and/or give them a ring for advice. I hope you fine something - it seems a shame if your cooker has literally lost its shine.

For the glass doors, Mr P swears by "Oven Pride" ! grin

Oh help this is so sad (as in saaaaad). I have a Belling range cooker that is now 6 years old. It came with the house. I have been giving it its annual clean (more than a wipe down). The cooker (not in the cavities - but on the outside) is black shiny metal. Could be enamel. Cleaning seems to have robbed it of shine - yet I only used hot soapy water and resorted to cif/gentle rub with rough side of a sponge where stuff was stuck on. Can anyone tell me what I have done wrong please? And do you have any ideas about restoring/keeping the gloss on this very expensive bit of kitchen kit? Also the glass oven doors are all covered in burnt on stuff - washing does nothing for them. I'd love to know whether anyone has any ideas on how to clean these.
