Step 1: Unplug and Empty Your Toaster
Before you begin cleaning, make sure your toaster is unplugged and completely cool. Remove the crumb tray and empty any crumbs or debris trapped inside the toaster.
Step 2: Vinegar and Baking Soda Paste
Create a paste by mixing equal parts white vinegar and baking soda. This natural cleaning solution will help break down grease and grime inside your toaster. Apply the paste to the inside of the toaster using a soft brush or toothbrush.
Step 3: Let It Sit
Allow the vinegar and baking soda paste to work its magic for at least 15-20 minutes. This will help loosen any stubborn residues and make them easier to wipe away.
Step 4: Wipe and Scrub
Using a damp microfiber cloth, gently wipe away the vinegar and baking soda paste from the inside of the toaster. For tough spots, use a soft brush or toothbrush to scrub gently. Be careful not to damage the heating elements with excessive pressure.
Step 5: Rinse and Dry
Once you’ve removed all the paste and grime, rinse the inside of the toaster with a clean, damp cloth. Make sure to dry the inside thoroughly before reassembling the toaster.
Step 6: Clean the Exterior
Don’t forget to clean the exterior of your toaster! Use a damp cloth with a little dish soap to wipe down the outside of the toaster. Dry with a clean cloth for a shiny finish.
Voila! Your toaster is now clean and free of any harmful chemicals. Enjoy your freshly cleaned appliance and toast with peace of mind knowing it’s safe for you and your family. Happy toasting!
