A toaster can sometimes be forgotten when cleaning the kitchen, but it certainly deserves a regular cleaning. Over time, the crumbs build up in the toaster, so you should regularly clean your toaster thoroughly to keep it working properly. To clean a toaster, remove the crumb tray from the bottom and clean it first. Then clean the inside and outside. When you are done with this, you have a fresh, clean and ready to use toaster.

Method 1 of 3: Cleaning the crumb tray

1. Wipe the outside every day. Don't forget the toaster when you do routine kitchen cleaning every day. Wipe the toaster with a wet cloth or a cloth dampened with vinegar. This prevents too much dirt and dust from accumulating on the outside of the toaster.

Tips

• Some toasters allow you to see dirt, fingerprints and splashes on the outside much better than others. Keep this in mind when you buy a toaster; For example, stainless steel needs more frequent cleaning to shine and remove fingerprints than an opaque plastic toaster.

Warnings

• Only clean the toaster when it has cooled down. Cleaning a hot toaster is asking for burns.
• Only plug in the power plug with dry hands.
• Never put a knife in the toaster. If the toaster is plugged in, you risk being electrocuted.
• Never immerse the toaster in water.

Necessities

• Toaster
• Vinegar and baking soda
• Sponge or soft cloth
• Newspaper
• Room to work
