Why the Oven Matters for Your Bond
A dirty oven is one of the most common bond deductions in Sydney. Agents check inside, the glass door, racks, and trays. Here's how to do it properly.
Step by Step
1. Remove racks and trays and soak them in hot, soapy water (or a bath with a little dishwasher powder).
2. Apply a degreaser or a bicarb-soda paste to the interior. Leave 20–30 minutes.
3. Scrub with a non-scratch pad, focusing on baked-on grease.
4. The glass door trick — slide a flat blade or scraper to lift baked-on residue between the glass.
5. Wipe clean and dry. Refit racks once dry.
Don't Forget
- Rangehood and filter (soak the filter)
- Stovetop and knobs
- Splashback
