Professional Clinging Oven Cleaner
Selden T004 Professional Clinging Oven Cleaner is a ready-to-use cleaner for baked-on food and greasy deposits on suitable ovens and grills. Supplied in a 750ml trigger bottle, its thick liquid formulation supports targeted application to soiled surfaces during planned kitchen cleaning, where ordinary wipe-downs may leave persistent residues.
This is a highly caustic product that requires careful handling and a suitable cleaning procedure. It causes severe skin burns and eye damage, so staff must read the label and safety data sheet and use the specified protection before starting. Do not use it on aluminium or galvanised metal.
Cleaning time depends on the deposit and whether the oven is cold or warm. The oven must be switched off before application, and the product must not be applied to hot surfaces. Check the equipment manufacturer's instructions first, including the suitability of its internal finish and any restrictions on chemical cleaning.
After the appropriate working time, the product and loosened residue are wiped away and the surface is rinsed with clean water. Keep this task distinct from routine food-area cleaning, using our kitchen cleaning products and specialist cleaning products to select supplies appropriate to each job. Follow the instructions on every individual product.

Directions for Use
Check compatibility and prepare protective equipment
Read the current label, safety data sheet and oven instructions before use. Do not apply to aluminium or galvanised metal. Wear the specified protective gloves, protective clothing and eye or face protection, and organise the task to prevent contact with the chemical or exposure to its spray.
Switch off and apply to a suitable surface
Selden advises warming the oven for optimum efficiency and switching it off before application. Do not apply to hot surfaces. Confirm that the equipment permits the intended method, then apply an even layer of ready-to-use T004 to the soiled area. Keep application controlled and avoid breathing the spray.
Allow the working time appropriate to the deposit
Use the current label and manufacturer guidance to select the cleaning time. Cold and warm ovens have different times, and baked-on deposits require longer than light grease. Keep the oven switched off and control access throughout the treatment; do not substitute a single short contact time for every condition.
Wipe away, rinse and secure the product
Wipe off the cleaner and loosened deposits with a damp cloth, then rinse with clean water as directed. Check the equipment instructions before returning the oven to service. Wash hands after handling, close the original container and store the product locked up, following the safety data sheet.

FAQs
Do I need to dilute T004 before oven cleaning?
T004 is identified by Selden as ready to use, with neat application for oven cleaning. Follow the supplied label rather than borrowing a dilution from a different oven cleaner or degreaser. Its ready-to-use format does not remove the need for protective equipment and careful handling.
Can it be used on aluminium oven parts?
No. Selden excludes aluminium and galvanised metal from the product's applications. Check the materials of trays, fittings and oven surfaces before use, including parts that may look similar to stainless steel. If the material or coating is uncertain, establish compatibility before applying the cleaner.
Should the oven be hot when I apply it?
No. The manufacturer specifically says not to apply T004 to hot surfaces. Its guidance allows a warm oven for improved efficiency, with the oven switched off before application. Follow the equipment and product instructions together; do not interpret warm as permission to clean a hot, operating oven.
How do the published cleaning times vary?
Selden lists cold/warm oven times of three minutes/one minute for light grease, 30 minutes/five minutes for heavy grease, and 12 hours/two hours for baked-on grease. Confirm the current label and equipment guidance before use, and select the time for the actual deposit and surface condition.
Is rinsing required after the cleaner has worked?
Yes. The manufacturer's directions say to wipe off with a damp cloth and rinse with clean water. This finishing stage forms part of the cleaning process and should be planned before application. Follow the oven manufacturer's requirements before bringing the equipment back into use.
What handling precautions are particularly important?
The safety sheet identifies severe skin burns and eye damage. Use the specified gloves, protective clothing and eye or face protection, avoid breathing spray, and read the first-aid instructions before starting. Keep the original container secure and locked away after use, and follow the workplace's chemical-handling procedure.
