Once you get in the scraping and scrubbing mood time flies! The results are well worth the effort. Make sure you factor in enough tea breaks to stop and admire your work!
Fiona and Jennie started by deploying the scraper to remove the baked on grease that had given their hob a matt appearance.
Hot plates can become pitted, if rust is left unchecked. The pesky divots that form reduce contact with your pan, and heat transfer. Making the hotplates less efficient and more expensive to run. Rust occurs for different reasons, but most commonly when the cooker is turned off. If rust has appeared without your range having been turned off, you may need to do some troubleshooting.
But if you have pitting the best plan of action is to put in a shot blasted one! They weigh a fair bit! But we do post them, really we do! And yes, shot blasted cast really can look amazing!
"Fab Result! - When I ordered my Blake & Bull heavy duty cleaning kit I really didn’t think it would clean up the way it did. My Aga range cooker wasn’t really dirty as I always tried to give it a wipe over and clean regularly but it never had the complete overhaul. Last Saturday my husband was off out, I had the day to myself. Having turned the Aga range cooker off the night before it was the perfect temperature to start cleaning at 9.30am. I followed the instructions to the book, by 4pm it was turned on and looking almost like new. I won’t lie, it wasn’t easy but totally worth it when I saw the end result. I couldn’t recommend the kit highly enough so if you have a free 6.5 hours and want your Aga to sparkle for Christmas get ordering from Blake and Bull" Irene, Nov 2019 
A super pic here of our scraper tool! I find this the most satisfying part of our cleaning process, you really feel like you are winning the battle with the grease 'from the off!'. This photo is quite handy actually as it shows how rockwool can compress and shed over time losing its insulative qualities. You can replace this rockwool under your expansion ring with a nice plump rope seal, that will stay in one piece, not shed, and fill the gap effectively.
It has been quite a 'red' September so far! We have had a delightful influx of pictures of Caret cookers, spruced up for the winter months. This is our first Pillar Box Red of the month. A lovely set of Helen's cleaning efforts. Thank you Helen!
Now you lovely lot, here is a task for you! Helen has inherited this spectacular range, in amazing condition considering its age, with a house move. She has tenderly cleaned it, and is now a little more attached to it. But she still needs fully converting! Hopefully a warm winter by its side will help, but can you offer some words of encouragement to help her along?
