‘Genius’ toaster cleaning hack leaves people in disbelief

Cleaning crumbs from the bottom of your toaster can sometimes be a tough and frustrating task. While it may not always be a priority for those with a busy schedule, it is important to keep the appliance in good condition.

A cleaning expert has shared a hack online for getting rid of crumbs in seconds. It left people surprised as they had never seen it done before. It takes just minutes to complete and has been praised as “brilliant”.

As reported by the Daily Record, TikTok influencer @anna_louisa_at_home regularly shares cleaning tips and tricks. She has around a million followers and has amassed over 750k views.

The toaster tip involves using a simple hair tool to clear out crumbs. The nifty hack has been dubbed “more effective” than just emptying the tray by followers.

Anna used a hairdryer to blast away the crumbs from inside her toaster. It helps to dislodge debris and collect it in the base for easy disposal – just empty it, wash with dish soap, and replace.

One person commented: “Omg why have I never thought of the hair dryer.” A second added: “Hair drying the crumbs off the toaster is genius!”

Meanwhile, one confused follower asked: “Why are you blowdrying your toaster?”

Another person replied: “To knock all the crumbs down onto the trays that catch them. More effective than just emptying the trays.”

While someone else said: “It blows out all the crumbs from the toaster! No matter how much I shake and bang it there’s always some left in it”.

Meanwhile, Anna also shared a tip for quickly cleaning an electric hob. It helps to wipe away crumbs or marks instantly.

She recommended using a window vacuum. However, a cloth with surface spray works too if a vacuum isn’t available.
