The market
There are three kinds of oven cleaner
National franchise brands
Recognisable name, hidden costs
Franchise operators pay upfront fees and ongoing royalties to trade under a national brand. That overhead sits in your quote whether you know it or not. Coverage is broad, standards vary by operator, and booking often means a phone call rather than an online form.
Budget independents
Low headline price, variable results
Some independents advertise very low prices but lack the specialist equipment - particularly a heated dip tank - needed for a thorough clean. No guarantee, no health report, and the results can be inconsistent. Cheap up front can mean a disappointing clean.
MINT
Local, independent, properly equipped
No franchise fees, no middleman, no fluff. MINT is an independent business based in Bedford with fixed prices, a heated dip tank on every van, professional-grade products, and a satisfaction guarantee. You book online in under 2 minutes and you know the price before you confirm.

Accreditation
Proud member of the Domestic Cleaning Alliance
The Domestic Cleaning Alliance is the UK trade body for professional cleaning companies. Membership is not automatic: members are vetted, must carry adequate insurance, and commit to professional standards. It means an independent body has assessed MINT and confirmed we meet the bar.
The method
Why a dip tank changes everything
Every MINT van carries a heated dip tank filled with professional-grade solution. Oven racks, trays, door glass, and side shelves all go in to soak while we clean the cavity by hand. The heat does the hard work on baked-on carbon that spray products alone can't shift. The result is a clean that looks different - and lasts longer.

BeforeAfterNot every company carries a dip tank, and not every budget cleaner has one at all. It's the single biggest difference between a deep clean and a surface wipe-down.
