Caustic

[Sarah Russell]

Looks like I had the same trainer as you David Brown. I was told 4kg I bought the tank off them and instructions are scrape then bathroom mousse etc just as you have described

 

[Chris Carter]

Who is doing this training????
Shocking that people clean ovens in this way let alone train others to do the same.

 

[Paul Pantony]

If they are getting the training off on the wrong foot by having no clue how to mix their chemical then everything that follows in this training is irrelevant. What a massive waste of money.

 

[Daniel Nailor]

The cleaning chemicals have clear instructions on the dilution ratio, any idiot should be able to use the correct amount.

 

[Sarah Russell]

Idiot that's harsh ..... but I agree there are clear instructions regarding ratio but when you purchase a kit and train using the kit etc you assume that this is correct information to follow .. to be fair I only started Monday and done 4 private jobs and although time taking needs improving the rest of the technique shown is working okay . Practise makes perfect and experience will hopefully get me quicker ... Thanks all ...

 

[Kevin Taylor]

How much was the training and Kit @Sarah Russell

 

[Sarah Russell]

Tank 1575 and training 300 and I bought the rest of kit from a recommended list ... they run a very successful business and the technique works well for them .. wish I never opened this can of worms now

 

[Mike Jones]

Think I'll get into this training lark with my patented pre-blading coat of Cif .

 

[Kevin Taylor]

Training £300 seems cheap to me is that for 1 or 2 days

 

[Chris Carter]

Hi Sarah, Please do not think any thing on here is aimed at yourself. Purely a concern about the training you received.

 

[Duncan McIver]

Bathroom mousse?, really?, what's that all about?. I met an oven cleaner about three years ago and he told me he uses bathroom mousse, I thought he was joking.. If I was a customer and someone sprayed bathroom mousse inside my oven I wouldn't be happy

 

[David Anthony Brown]

He charges £200 a day you get it half price if you buy a tank from him the I was told the mousse is only a lubricant for astonish he has 8 vans on the road so it must work for him

 

[Sarah Russell]

Thanks everyone for input ... I am sorry I opened this can of worms now .. but some very valued points and opinions... I am sure we will all learn what works well for us through experience. Have a good day everyone ...

I retrained a guy a month or so back and he was amazed we didn't use bathroom mousse, he did mention he had done a days training with someone else beforehand, obviously same company.

 

[Mike Jones]

Please everyone, stop talking about bathroom mousse!! This is some sick marketing ploy now that Astonish is no longer freely available

 

[Keith W Bushnell]

No wonder i couldn't find any bathroom mouse in the pound store to clean my bathroom earlier, everyone's out their cleaning their ovens with it.

 

[Billy Marsh]

Bath room moose I suppose you can use anything that burns of carbon and does not burn rubber or smudge glass. Money is the key here.

 

[David Bytham]

I can tell you where the bathroom mousse comes from, go to attached thread from 2013
https://www.cleantalk.co.uk/threads/oven-cleaner-on-ceramic-hob-crud.14250/#post-126146
thats where I got it from and have had great success with it. Though the price went up and have relatively recently changed to a citrus degreaser.

 

[Billy Marsh]

In the attached 2013 post it was put as an easer chemical then caustic smelling like a fresh oven but with a bath room fresh small ha ha.

 

[Daniel walder]

I usually put 1500g of caustic to around 40 litres of water and that seems to be fine
