Posting impressive before-and-after pictures on the , Lucy Henfrey revealed that she'd "managed to get clean what a professional oven cleaner couldn't" thanks to an affordable product.

While it was certainly no easy task, the 24-year-old from Derbyshire got her oven looking brand new after she soaked the area with £1 Elbow Grease spray and then scraped the burnt bits off with an old spoon.

Speaking to Fabulous Online, Lucy revealed: "I have had my oven cleaned professionally before and she did a fabulous job of the hob and window.

"However, there is always this horrible stubborn bit everyone seems to struggle to get off... including a professional cleaner."

After spotting the affordable spray - which you can pick up in Poundland - featured on Mrs Hinch's Instagram page, the cleaning-mad woman decided to give it a try for herself.

Revealing her super simple method, Lucy added: "I sprayed the Elbow Grease and left to soak for 30 minutes.

"Once I had done this, I used a scourer and an old spoon to scrape from side to side and remove the marks."

Taking about an hour in total, Lucy admitted that it "wasn't an easy task but the results are well worth it!"

She added: "I clean my oven trays everyday with Elbow Grease and a scourer and everything always comes off so easy!"

What's more, this magical product doesn't just work on a treat on ovens - it can also be used to clean fabrics and plastics too.

Last month, we revealed that a mum had transformed her filthy staircase using the affordable spray.
