How to clean the toaster properly: remove crumbs and food scraps - this must be observed
Since the
toaster is an electrical
device
, you should be a
little more careful when
cleaning
it than usual and not directly take the wet cleaning cloth.
In general, when cleaning:
Pull out the mains plug
Let the device cool down
Do not use any sharp objects such as a knife or fork
Keep the device or the power cord away from liquids and do not put them in the dishwasher
If only dry
crumbs
have accumulated
in the toaster
, it is usually sufficient
to empty
the
crumb tray
and, if it is more dirty, to clean it with water or washing-up liquid and then to dry it.
Most devices have such a pull-out or fold-out drawer.
However
, the crumb tray should not be put
in the
dishwasher
as it could rust in the worst case scenario.
Toaster: Tips for cleaning - safety first
Cleaning
the
inside of the toaster
is a little more difficult.
Above all, care should be taken
not to damage
the
heating
elements
.
To get rid of the annoying little crumbs that got stuck between the bars, you can also use the
hairdryer
.
Simply blow dry into the slots of the toaster on a cold setting from above so that all the crumbs end up in the drawer.
A
toothbrush or paintbrush
is ideal for leftover food that has stuck inside
.
So carefully walk between the heating rods.
Under no circumstances use a knife or fork to pull out wedged pieces of bread.
Not only can the device break, if the plug is not pulled it could even result in an
electric shock
.
To clean the outside of the toaster: use detergent or even vinegar
Everything that
sticks to the
outside of the
toaster
can be
wiped off
with a little
washing-up liquid or vinegar
.
Stainless steel toasters can also be polished with a stainless steel cleaner.
A microfiber cloth is suitable for dust.
The
bread roll attachment
can also be easily cleaned with water and washing-up liquid.
Cleaning baking trays can also be quite a hassle.
But with the help of a few home remedies, cleaning is not that difficult.
