mallyh - Try Oven Pride (widely available).  Comes with thick bag you put the racks in and liquid you then pour in and leave for a while - no scrubbing required!

have you tried putting them in the dishwasher?

pull them out before they start to dry and the muck rubs right off

I hate that job - so my husband does it.  ;o)

Oven cleaning is up there for me too Mally.  I'm going to have to do it soon too because everytime I put the oven on high for yorkies, the room fills with smoke.  This is despite having a removable lining in one and a lining shelf in the other.

Oh and vacuuming the stairs.

yes tried the dishwasher but still have to scrub lol x

Hope you put some music on whilst your scrubbing (Thread other day).

Cleaning the toilet, usually pretty clean bleached etc... but just hate doing it.

I soak them in a solution made with boiling water and several dishwasher tablets.  After a good soak they clean very easily with just a cloth, the grease literally floats off

oh another one... picking up warm dog turds whilst walking pets.

I hate vacuuming the stairs as well.

I found my little kitchen Hoover easier and safer to use

Arksided,"picking up warm dog turds" even worse when we don't have a dog yet still find it on front lawn along with cats mess.

Did my neighbour's oven a while ago with OP - would never have offered if I hadn't known it would be easy  :)

mally, you get bags with Oven Pride.  You don't need anything to soak them in.
