Lazy folk

Well this is getting ridiculous, apparently people actually pay someone to clean their oven for them. I just got a leaflet through the door advertising an "oven cleaning specialist". How lazy do you have to be to not do this yourself?

I don't see a problem there.

Maybe some people have better things to do, some employ cleaners some even get their bins cleaned some even pay someone in a laudrette to clean and iron stuff. Some pay people to drive them around, some pay people to cook for them and some canlt even manage to get to a resturant they get it delivered. It's been over 6 years since I had cooked food delivered.

Life is like a shit sandwich.

The more bread you have, the less shit you have to eat.

JWS (apart from being a troll) is obviously poor. Eat up, James.

Clearly you haven't been paying attention.

All TV ads for household/kitchen/bathroom/toilet cleaning products show their products as instantly shifting a degree of built-up filth which is immediately evident, and which could only be the result of month's long neglect.

Unlike the insides of ovens whose condition might not be immediately apparent and might not actually detract from the functionality of the appliance*. The satisafctory cleaning of ovens may also require the use of chemicals which are no longer available to the general public in sufficiently small quantities, if at all.

Admittedly while having a grime streaked lavatory pan or sink may not actually detract from their functionality, they may nevertless impact on the overall "experience"

Of course the obvious asner is removeable oven linings and a bath of hot caustic in the neighborhood

Ot like the aga, simply wait till it all flakes off as graphene.

Cleaning an oven takes 10 minutes. It'll take about that long to arrange someone to do it for you. So utterly pointless.

You'd prefer to spend 10 minutes of your time arranging for a cleaner to come round, letting him in, making sure he doesn't nick the Ming vase etc? Just clean the oven, it's easier and quicker.

You work harder than me so you don't have to clean your oven. You've achieved nothing.

Oven cleaning products are available to anyone. Asda, Ebay, whatever.

Quite how you get that much muck splattered all over the oven in the first place I don't know.

The sides of the oven are not in contact with the food, there is no reason to make them clean to hospital standards. Besides, the sides of the oven are very very hot, any bacteria is killed every time you use it. And dirt burns off and you can just knock it off.

Because you are fit enough to clean your oven in a matter of minutes doesn't mean that everyone is.

If I had the money to have a ming vase I'd get a cleaner in to do all the c leaning. I can understand how perhaps a footballer might earn more money in 10 mins than I do in a year and it may well be worth his while getting som eone in to do it, his misses won't have enough spare time to leave the sun bed either. I can understand cleaning an oven, what I don't understand is those that le t someone else park their car. Of course these so called oven cleaning services are really for the whole c ooker not just the oven. In a simialar way to window cleaning companies how long does it take to cle an a window or even a car but we seem to need large numbers of people to be employed to clean cars.

What's an oven? Remind me to ask my butler if any of the kitchen servants perform this task.

James has fashionable (for the 1970s) shit coloured matching toilet, sink and bath so no cleaning required.

Actually they're different colours as two have been replaced. Only women match colours.

fit to clean an oven? It's hardly demanding.

Fair enough. But would you employ a seperate person to clean each of the 50 items in your home?

Same here, unless I'm in a bloody hurry. I enjoy driving.

No point in cleaning a car, it gets rinsed by rain.

To clean all the windows here needs a ladder. I'm happy to pay someone to do that. I don't need a ladder to clean a car.
