"Hi there.
Karcher steam cleaners are what we recommend.
You can clean any part of an oven with a steam cleaner so long as its not used around electrical components.

Kärcher SC 5 EasyFix Steam Cleaner with hot water connection, steam pressure: 4.2 bar, heating time: 3 min, area: approx. 150 m², tank: 0.5 l + 1.5 l, incl. floor cleaning set EasyFix and nozzles

This item can be purchased from amazon for around £40.

Hope this helps."

"When selecting a handheld steam cleaner for oven cleaning, it’s important to choose a model that’s effective yet safe for your appliance. The Bissell Steam Shot Handheld Steam Cleaner is a popular choice, known for its compact design and powerful steam output, making it suitable for tackling grease and grime in ovens. 

Another option is the Vytronix Handheld Steamer, which offers a 1000W boiler and comes with a 9-piece accessory kit, including attachments ideal for cleaning ovens, windows, and tiles. 

Before using a handheld steam cleaner on your oven, it’s crucial to consult your oven’s user manual to ensure compatibility. While steam cleaners are generally safe for many oven types, including those with enamel, glass, and stainless steel surfaces, caution is advised. Avoid directing steam at electrical components, heating elements, or the oven’s seal, as moisture could cause damage. Always start with a lower steam setting to test the process and gradually increase if necessary. 

In summary, handheld steam cleaners can be effective tools for oven cleaning when used appropriately. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for both the steam cleaner and the oven to ensure safe and effective cleaning."

"The best handheld steamer I have found is from Tefal
DT7050 Clothes Steamer
I use it to get the creases out of the sheets, duvets and pillowcases of airbnbs we clean. The steamer is small but it is perfect, it removes the creases and saves me around an hour at each property."
