OzKleen Oven Power

Messy and not very effective. Treated twice but had to finish with a spray on cleaner. Sent my experiences to the company via email but no reply received. Don't waste your money Show details
It takes a bit of effort to use this compared to foam oven cleaner. Its good that there isn't a toxic smell but it actually doesn't work, so a waste of money and time! I left it overnight too, and the grime still didn't wipe off. Show details
Unfortunately this product didn't do as good of a job I had hoped for. That wasn't the reason for the low rating. Unfortunately a bit splashed onto our cream enamel oven front and stained it. I emailed asking how I might be able to remove it, but got no reply. Show details

I have used this every 6 months for about 10 or 12 years. My 25 yr old oven looks brand new. I roast and bake at least once a week. I have arthritis in my hands so I let it sit in the bag about 12 hours. Everything wipes off with a sponge. Show details · 1
So disappointed with the product, after using it and leaving it overnight it didn’t clean at all. Don’t waste money Show details

Great product with minimal fumes – Oven has not been cleaned for many months and the Oven Power cleaner worked through 95% of the grease. Amazing product with minimal fumes. Show details
Simply. Does not work at all – After a pork roast, the oven looked pretty bad. So, we gave this OzKleen product a go. Using a sponge, the fluid was distributed over the internal surface and left for 2 hours. It did not do anything, so applied another layer and left for a further 2 hours. Making that a total of 4 hours. There was almost no effect. Pictures attached. It says that… Read more
this product contains 40g/l alkaline salts. I guess that this is either sodium hydroxide or perhaps sodium carbonate (not very strong). Perhaps the gel is masking the potential effectiveness. I also applied the same fluid to the tray and that also did no cleaning. So, a waste of money and effort.

Destroyed my racks and corroded my oven – The first time I used this, I was pretty happy with the results, especially on my oven racks. Although the big bag and 900mm racks is very cumbersome and awkward to use ( not to mention messy) It did do a pretty good job. I left them over night and they were ok. This time, I left the racks in the bags over night only to find them completely… Read more
corroded and unusable. To say I'm pissed off is an understatement. I now have to buy new oven racks (if I can find them) and NOW, also see corrosion around the inside of the doors of my 12 month old oven. I actually think I should be compensated for the damage done, as I followed the directions on the box completely.

This actually DOESN’T work – I wanted this to work. An Australian product, without fumes. The online product description made it sound easier than other oven cleaners. BUT… it did an ok job on the trays, except it suggests doing them one at a time. I have 3 shelves and two half grill plates, so that’s a lot of bagging and de-bagging, plus two needed two goes and even then one… Read more
was not completely cleaned. Then I tried the oven. The instructions say 20’ for the glass. Still dirty (by the way my oven was standard dirty and had been cleaned maybe 8 months ago). Did the glass for another stint. Still quite dirty and the oven itself had major dirt spots. Instructions say you may need to do additional spot cleaning. I did. Still dirty. At this point I gave up, used my traditional spray and all areas were clean in half an hour. Yes, I hate the fumes but it is easy, speedy, efficient, effective. I would not recommend OzKleen Oven Power, even though the bottle says “It actually works”. Sadly it doesn’t. Photo shows inside after full application, then spot cleaning of this area, door after two applications.
Just as the bottle says, “See the amazing results!” – So during the current pandemic, I’ve been cleaning the house more than I ever would have. Never had I sort so many products underneath the kitchen sink and found a few items that I vaguely remembered buying. One of these items was OzKleen’s Oven Power. I hardly use my oven but when I do, I never clean it. The oven was new and it has been used… Read more
during the 4 years that I’ve lived here. The oven racks were filthy but I never cared too much because most of the food were placed on oven trays anyway. But when it comes to heating up frozen pizza, they always tell you to put it directly on the oven rack.
This got me concerned and inspected the oven racks a lot closer than I would usually. The amount of god knows what that has caked onto the racks was worrisome.
I bought this product because I’ve heard raving reviews and testimonials about it on OzBargain. The product was half price at Woolworths the time I bought it so I gave it a shot.
The product comes in a box. With the contents inside, you get a very big plastic bag that you slide your oven racks in, a pair of gloves and the bottle of miracle.
Instructions are pretty simple. Slide a maximum of 2 oven racks into the bag provided and then pour 1/2 to 3/4 of the liquid content inside, seal it up (preferably with all the air out) and vigorously move the bag around so the racks are well coated. I mean, the bag is big enough to even fit 3 racks but I don’t think there’s enough liquid for all 3 if you leave 1/4 of it for later.
It tells you to leave the racks in the bag for 4 hours or overnight.
At this moment in time, 7 hours since I started, I can already see amazing results. Most of whatever was caked on the racks has magically came loose and you can see where the magic happened. It’s like brand new again.
Simply take the racks out of the bag and rinse it with a good dishwashing detergent and warm water.
The reason why you don’t empty the whole bottle is the rest of the liquid is meant for the oven interior. Again, simply pour the rest of the content in the middle of the oven and spread it with a sponge.
Again, I’m amazed at how much grease and gunk was removed. However, it didn’t do much to the glass as it looked like something I could’ve done with a simple detergent and water. Regardless, I’m still happy with the results it had shown.
Easiest and best clean of racks I've ever gotten – The biggest advantage is probably the large bags which accommodate and clean the racks. The instructions recommend doing 2 racks a time, however i did all 5 and they all came out spotless after soaking for 8 hours (i flipped them every few hours to make sure the coverage was even). Most of the built on grime washed away with the gel, and whatever… Read more
was left simply rubbed off with an old kitchen sponge.
The inside of the oven was a bit more difficult. Most of the grime came off, but it took a fair bit more scrubbing than the racks. Whatever didn't come off with the first scrub got left there, as it as going to build back up again. Didn't look brand new, but it was a good clean compared to the effort put in and compared to other oven cleaning products. The fumes were also a lot less harsh than others.
The gloves in the box are cheap. Wouldn't even bother using them. i would rather bin them straight away and use proper gloves (will go through 2-3 pairs, as you will need 1 pair putting the racks into the bag, 1 pair cleaning the oven, and 1 pair to take the racks back out and clean them up).

BEST OVEN CLEANER EVER! – Best cleaner for ovens and oven racks etc. It really does work. No scrubbing, no smell. Not as good on glass but sensational on metal bits. I'm buying 15L container as it's that great. Show details

Worked a treat – Read reviews before using 50/50 good and bad, so was pleasently surprised it worked great and no need for gas mask, huge plus. Oven trays came out perfect even removed old black marks, oven nice and clean glass door was easy i left on glass for 1 min as directed spread around with a pot scub clean as a whistle, so a thumbs up for me Show details
Totally AMAZING PRODUCT – Used this product for the first time & was absolutely amazed on how well this product worked. Will not be using anything else from now on. Show details

Disappointed ☹️ – Left the oven racks in bag for 4 hours. Had to scrub afterwards as there were still dirty spots. The product has left corrosion marks on parts of the racks. Didn’t clean interior of oven or glass door. Had to use another product. Show details
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY – Total waste of time and money, my oven is actually only a couple of months old, this product did not clean it at all, was difficult to apply in the first place which was annoying, then after leaving for 6 hours and cleaning down the oven looked almost the same as when I started. The oven racks are also no different, placing them in the bag and… Read more
pouring the liquid in barley touched them, had to go back and purchased the faithful oven spray, now I have a clean oven. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY.
Should be banned from sale. Ruins oven trays. Doesnt work – Interesting concept. "Cleaned" non stick surfaces off oven trays and left baked on food residue. Trays are now rusted and ruined and had to buy another oven cleaner to clean the oven. Hours of wasted time. Box is just a scam with a bottle of cumbersome liquid that is difficult to apply to surfaces and and doesn't cover everything. Plus a bag. Avoid if you value your non stick surfaces and stick with a conventional spray on oven cleaner. Show details

Wow, wow, wow! It does actually work – I normally put my racks in the dishwasher's then have to scrub afterwords. Well did not have to with this product. Gave a couple of spots a rub and I mean a couple of spots only. My racks are like brand new Show details
Complete Scam – A complete scam. I used the product to the directions on the box. The result : just wasted hours and money. Placing the trays in the bag and soaking the trays in the liquid is purely a joke. There isn't that much liquid in the bottle to cover the trays. It's not practical at all. Cleaning the inside of the oven was a complete fiasco. … Read more
Normal dish soap does this much cleaning without having to wait four hours anyway. It's frustrating to spend a lot of time cleaning up the residue of this chemical product you use to clean your oven. Moreover, the product did not clean the oven!!!. Don't waste your money or time on this product.
I used it on my Rangehood Filters but it doesn’t work and now left with all the chemicals on the filters – Too strong for Rangehood filters, cause stains and residual chemical on it. Show details
Actually doesn't work – OzKleen's Shower Power was a revelation, Oven Power not so. Doesn't seem to have ANY affect on glass (tried on two ovens). There is nowhere near enough product to clean the trays/side racks of a domestic oven using the bag system, let alone the rest of the oven. Might work if the trays were completely flat but they are not. Disappointing product being marketed on the reputation of another product. Show details

Useless – Followed the instructions and absolutely no change in my oven . Really annoyed because I had to scrub after waiting the 4 hours and then clean the oven with soap and water to remove any residue. Why make something that doesn’t work Show details
No power – My oven is just over 1 year old and there was no much residue on it. Despite this and six hours wait OzKleen hasn’t removed any grease. I have to try another brand. Show details
Great for end of lease cleaning – I have used this to clean my ovens and racks when moving out of a rental and it is such a life saver! It doesn't get 100% of everything off and it doesn't seem to work on glass but it does the job. I also like that it doesn't let off crazy fumes like other cleaners. If you have a particularly dirty oven I'd say it would need a few goes of this. Show details

Fabulous results – When we moved house the oven and racks were already well used and grotty. I tried many times and a few different products to get it clean, yet nothing changed much. This product was brilliant for getting serious crime off the racks and took a huge amount off the oven walls too. My only disappointment was that the glass did not see any change. I… Read more
would still definitely recommend. Also, I would suggest you try to rub it into the joins on the racks (once in bag) as this was the only area that the grime stayed on. *I can’t seem to get all the photos in order - but first and last are the racks before. Third pic is what happened literally a few minutes after getting into the bag/product. Forth and fifth photos are the after pics (you can see the dark still in joins), yet overall amazing change and sixth photo is the bag afterwards!! Awesome results. I didn’t photograph a deeper pan/shelf yet that had awesome results too and I’m very happy overall.
Worst oven cleaner I've ever used, – Worst oven cleaner I've ever used, I will go back to the old spray cans which gave far superior results in way less time, I will not buy this product again. Show details
Buyer beware – This product will destroy your non stick surfaces , Ozkleen have no warning re this on their packaging and the do not respond to email enquiries. may as well clean your oven with paint stripper. Show details
Absolutely piece of rubbish – I thought they had pretty good review so I gave it a try. But it was nothing but disappointment. I bought it from Coles few days ago and I used it on my about two years old oven. My oven is not overly too dirty. I put the trays in the bag and half a bottle in it. The bag broke as soon as I try to close it up. The solution barely covered the trays.… Read more
I left it overnight and the tough grease still there and couldn't be scrub off. Then I pour the remaining in the oven and left it for about 1 hour. It couldn't really get rid of any of the grease. So basically it was rubbish. Thought I was supporting Australian businesses. Don't waste your money on it!!!!!
I couldn't believe it! – I was very sceptical this would clean my very dirty oven racks but wow they came out looking brand new! A little bit of wiping with some steel wool in the corners was all it took. Everything else just melted off! I have a self cleaning oven, so I can't comment on how well it cleans the oven walls and door. I was impressed by this product, will certainly buy again. Show details
