Some you'd call eco friendly and others are a bit stronger and these tend to Alkaline solutions with a high PH value. You'd be surprised at what does a good job. I have tried ordinary washing up liquid which does a reasonable job and I know that a lot of franchise oven cleaning companies use this so the stuff they provide you with may well just be washing up liquid even though they package it in their brand tub and call it a different name. </p><p>For me washing up liquid doesn't provide a consistent way to clean the oven bits and it also needs a bit of work to get the final bits off which adds to the time for each job.  But if you are stuck then its more than okay to do the job; it needs to be a hot solution to work. We use something that guarantees that everything is cleaned 100% .

This is first new van that we have bought for four years and it really is a cracker with a 1.6 HDI 90HP engine. So it's nippy (though it might not be as quite as fast as our Daihatsu 
Extols) and apparently is frugal too. It has three seats and lots of storage space, a really good bulkhead,  but only one side door but the real bonus is the Traffic Master Navigation and Tracking system fitted to the van which has the fabulous facility where we will be able to phone the driver and he will be able to answer the call by just touching the Traffic Master screen whilst driving. Also it has built in tracking so the vehicle would be tracked if it was stolen.</p><p>If you read my post <a href="Permalink:%20http://www.theovencleaningbusiness.co.uk/2010/01/what-is-the-best-van-to-buy-for-an-oven-cleaning-business.html.html%20Edit%20Done" target="_blank" title="Best oven cleaning vans">best oven cleaning vans</a> about my recommendations for the best oven cleaning van to get then you would have noticed that the Berlingo was number three in that list and I put it there with two side doors and an extended guarantee. Number one was the Renault Kangoo and number two was the VW Caddy. My ideal van is a van with two side doors and a tailgate. But the reality of gaining a new van with this specifiction put paid to my ideal and I went for the best van that was available now without the wait for a factory order so a Berlingo with one side door (I didn't get the extended guarantee as they told me that I could extend it at any time before the current warranty expires and anyway the AA van warranty which we have on our other older Berlingo has been well worth the cost at a lot less than Citoren are quoting for theirs). For say a factory order of a Renault Kangoo they were quoting six to ten weeks and at one time there was one available with a side door but although the van had £7500 on the van in the forecourt that was apparently for a "cash only" purchase and in the end the price was going to be £12500 + VAT. I didn't bother with the VW Caddy as the price was more than the Kangoo and they were only available on lease. The other van I seriously was thinking about was the Nissan NV200 (number 4 in my list) but again as the second side door isn't standard (it also doesn't come with a tailgate which is extremely disappointing as the old Nissan Vanette did) there would have been a wait of up to eight weeks. They did say four but I didn't believe them! In all it looks like most van manufacturers have stopped making vans and if you want one especially with a side door then you've got to order it unless it's a Berlingo. I didn't check out Vauxhall or Fiat as I did like the thought of having one of their vans.</p><p>So with Berlngo's one side door how is it going to affect things? Well it is going to be fine and with just a small change to our system it will work well though the operative may get a bit wet if it's raining! But the real bonus is the Traffic Master system and if we get more of these vehicles we may look at using the benefit of the fleet management option of Traffic Master where we would be able to track the real time location of each vehicle.</p><p>A couple of weeks ago we nearly bought a second hand Renault Kangoo van that had already been fitted out as an oven cleaning van and was on Ebay but we couldn't verify the mileage on it.</p><p>So the next thing I got to do is to get our new Citroen Berlingo Oven Cleaning van kitted out and sign written which will all be carried out this week.</p><fieldset class="zemanta-related"><legend class="zemanta-related-title">Related articles by Zemanta</legend><ul class="zemanta-article-ul"><li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/2011028505_apeufranceearnspeugeotcitroen.html?syndication=rss">Peugeot Citroen narrows losses</a> (seattletimes.nwsource.com)</li>

We don't do many of these, I'm not really sure if it's because not many people have them in the South West or because they don't need cleaning.</p><p>The one we cleaned was quite new and had lovely chrome lids and was black. We spent a couple of hours cleaning it and found it a lot easier to clean than an AGA. For instance it didn't have any aluminium strips, or door panels to clean. The inside of the doors on the Stanley Cooker were enamel and cleaned up quickly and easily, unlike the AGA where you need to really scrub them for a while to get them shining like new. The only downside to the clean was that we discovered that the handles on the lids had plastic support brackets, unlike the AGA where they are enamelled cast iron. Also we found a badge on the Stanley that on first look looked like chrome but later on closer inspection we saw that it was in fact just a bit of stuck on plastic. Also the door handles were plastic whereas the doors on the AGA are all cast iron and I also noticed this week that on the Rayburn cooker the handles are a better quality plastic that looks very much like the old plastic that you used to see. Also on the Stanley we noticed some very small springs on the door handles which didn't really look up to the part of an expensive cooker. The central heating panel really looked the business though really high tech with a digital display which gave away the real Stanley advantage: a cooker that looks like an AGA cooker but a cooker that also has the central heating boiler contained with its compact form.</p><p>We cleaned the whole of the Stanley cooker including inside the two ovens. We also cleaned the detail on it with a toothbrush and with our special gleaming cloth it came up looking like one in a showroom, a beautiful gleaming Stanley cooker.</p><p>So overall I know that the Stanley orginates from Waterford in Ireland but the company is now owned by the AGA group and AGA have built it to compete at a price and in doing so have put on some poor quality bits on what otherwise is a quality cooker.</p><fieldset class="zemanta-related"><legend class="zemanta-related-title">Related articles by Zemanta</legend><ul class="zemanta-article-ul"><li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://r.zemanta.com/?u=http%3A//www.guardian.co.uk/business/2010/jan/15/aga-feels-warm-glow-of-sales&amp;a=11599200&amp;rid=b34e3ca7-afe6-42bd-b459-a252de8d61da&amp;e=6ea17030868e1b3a9aa50df1c925ed7c">Aga Rangemaster feels warm glow of sales in cold snap</a> (guardian.co.uk)</li>

Here he goes through a quick check on the AGA cooker to make sure that it is ready for a day of cooking.  Here he swiches off the AIMS (Aga Intelligent Management System) and puts the AGA onto manual and then gives his little saying 'Doors to Manual, Cross Check the Mercury'. He gives details of how to go about getting AIMS retro fitted to your AGA.</p><p /><p align="center" class="asset asset-video" style="margin: 0pt auto; display: block;"><object height="306" width="500"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/QuCPot2b6Pc&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" height="306" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/QuCPot2b6Pc&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="500" /></object></p><br />

<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>I've been out AGA cleaning today and whilst there I gave the clients some AGA cleaning tips. Bascially you need to clean up after yourself and don't let it build up especially on top of the AGA cooker. I usually give clients some cooking tips too and I am currently recommending James McIntosh's AGa cooking videos that he did a couple of months agao. So here is another one: t looks like a great recipe and I can't wait to try it, all that Mango chutney will make it just fab. From this video I learnt that you need to put stuff at the top of the roasting oven to get it to brown.</p><p> After the cooking there's the AGA cleaning and with the pan  as it's going to get sticky you need to clean it straight away. Don't just leave it or else that grease will carbonise and it makes an oven cleaner's job that much harder. Also of course you need to wipe the AGA too, any splashes on the sides need cleaning up straight away and be careful not to burn yourself.</p><p /><p align="center" class="asset asset-video" style="margin: 0pt auto; display: block;"><object height="306" width="500"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/t9N39CmYDTA&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" height="306" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/t9N39CmYDTA&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="500" /></object></p><br />
