Advantages: Cleans very well, minimal scrubbing, powerful
Disadvantages: The fumes, has to be left on for a while to work, awkward nozzle

...reaching for the tin of Mr Muscle Oven Cleaner...... there was a nice thick layer of dust on the lid, evidence that the last time I actually scrubbed the oven out was, well, a while ago. Bet you're all hoping I don't invite you over to dinner anytime soon........ Mr Muscle's oven cleaner comes in a green metal tin with the Mr Muscle logo on the front and a red band round the top with "Powerful Cleaning Action" in yellow capitals, and a warning to ...
...it dissolves food remnants. After use, my oven looked remarkably clean. I don't tend to clean it out very often, as it takes a while with Mr Muscle, but how long it will be before yours needs cleaning out again depends on how messy a cook you are! ... Read review

Advantages: Easy, Cheap, timesaving
Disadvantages: Smells a bit and you can get messy.

...said that she had used Mr Muscle oven cleaner so i thought i would try that. After looking through all the different oven cleaners on the shelves i reached for the Mr muscle. It comes in a very bright green and orange aerosol can with the words Mr Muscle loves the jobs you hate oven written on the front. That certainly is true in my case i hate cleaning and i will try anything that makes the job easier. It is made by Johnson's a family company . ...
...company. So i picked up the bottle and went to the checkout. £1.85. Thats not too bad, I could have paid alot more for something that never worked. When i got home i had every intention of cleaning the oven. But i got a bit sidetracked (as you do) So it never got done. This morning i woke up and saw the can still sitting on the work top were i had left it. Sod it i thought i will give it a go. I looked at the can and read the writing on the front ... Read review

Advantages: Removes burnt on grease and spills and you don,t have to scrape.
Disadvantages: The fumes.

...an orange lid , and mr muscle oven cleaner loves the jobs you hate wrote in orange letters then oven is wrote in white letters underneath. It has a picture of a gleaming clean oven underneath , which also caught my eye i wanted my oven to look like that but would it work ? It also has a warning on the front of the tin , it says powerful cleaning agent and to read the back of tin before you use, this is because its such a powerful cleaning spray ...

First of all switch off electric or turn off pilot light if gas , then put something down to protect your floor incase of drips from the product, i used an old towel. Open windows and back door if possible its important ... Read review

Advantages: Cleans your oven.
Disadvantages: Toxic

So Mr Muscle ‘loves the jobs you hate’. Well I really hate cleaning the oven, especially after being left with one in an absolutely horrendous state when we moved into our new house a while ago. I won’t elaborate but I am sure you can use your imagination. OK then Mr Muscle do your stuff!! Mr Muscle Oven cleaner comes in a green 300ml aerosol, costing around £2.35. It has an orange lid with a childproof catch – sometimes Numberthree proof too. This ...
...toxic, extremely flammable and an irritant, and I wouldn’t want my kids getting their hands on it. There is a huge list of precautions to be taken when using the product so I suggest rather than me reproducing them here, if you fancy using this cleaner then read the back before you buy. To use you simply remove any stay clean linings and spray the cleaner onto the parts of the oven you wish to clean, including the racks, and glass door. The spray ... Read review

Advantages: Ideal for lazy but house-proud folk like me.
Disadvantages: Waiting 2 hours for the results.

...horror stories about how toxic Mr Muscle can be so I held it at arms length clad in rubber gloves before even taking it's top off (sounds kinda kinky...). It's not actually as bad as I expected, you shake the can, spray a bit, shake it again, spray another bit etc and when it hits the oven it turns into a foam. You spray the bits you want cleaning, close the oven door, and leave it for up to 2 hours. Given the 5 year crust on my oven I decided to ...
...Co-op had, it's refreshed my oven nicely and made me see that I don't in actual fact need a new one. That's not to say I'd go out and buy every Mr Muscle product available, I'm still wary of them, but this oven cleaner has really done me proud! ... Read review

Advantages: Non messy cleaner, smells quite nice
Disadvantages: Still leaves occasional smears, particularly if windows are especially dirty.

...I would like to join in this debate on the usefulness or otherwise of Mr Muscle window cleaner by saying that having tried a number of window cleaning products over a number years, Mr Muscle is the best of a bad bunch. Most window cleaners leave smears. The sunnier the room – the worse the problem. I think the best way to clean windows is still soap, water and one of those window gadgets – BUT – its so messy, especially on a cold day. Its difficult to avoid trickles of water dripping everywhere. Its so much easier use Mr Muscle window cleaner to clean the odd window, especially windows such as my patio window. This window doubles up as a back door and receives a lot of mud and bashing around by my husband and the dog. My husband complains that the chemicals in Mr Muscle products are environmentally unfriendly. No further... Read review

Advantages: Very little scrubbing required
Disadvantages: Can't think of any

...A woman’s work is never done and that is why we spend millions each year on cleaning products to make life and housework easier. But do they? Some do, some don’t and that’s what this site is all about. I’m not a huge fan of cleaning but I do like things tidy and clean. So where does that leave me? I either have to do it myself or bribe the kids to do it for me....hah, there is more chance of Elvis landing outside my house in a UFO with a duster in one hand and a mop in the other than there is of my kids helping with the housework. So in my never ending quest for cleanliness that is next to Godliness I have come across Mr Muscle Orange Cleaner. I’ve tried various Mr Muscle products over the years and have honestly thought that the added expense isn’t warranted when there are cheaper products... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use and cleans first time
Disadvantages: It smells

...---- Yes it stinks, as with all Mr Muscle products this has a really strong smell that I don't like but hey if it works I can live with it. The smell is predominately bleach but with a sort of chemical aroma lingering as for the lemon, well I don't want to stick my nose to close to it to find out but not immediately noticeable. I would suggest that you use this in a well ventilated room as it is not pleasant and could catch at the back of your throat. ---The power of Mr Muscle--- Now the question is do I leave for a minute to tackle the blackcurrant juice mark on my cream work surfaces or do I see how good Mr Muscle really is. The latter I think as this is true test of the cleaner. Quick wipe over where I have sprayed with the cloth and hey presto it really does have a bit of a kick to it, the blackcurrant mark has gone. Yes it has... Read review
