How to clean the toaster

This was in my mind while i was
doing my crapping in e toilet.
Yeshhhh.. How to clean a toaster..
so i had google it & here's e outcome

1.Unplug e toaster & move it near e sink.
Bring a trashcan close by for easy access.
In lieu of these, you can spread
a piece of newspaper on e counter or
e table to catch e crumbs as you clean them out.


2.Lift e appliance & open e small grate underneath.
Gently shake e toaster until accumulated crumbs in
e bottom fall out onto e newspaper, into e sink,
or in e trash container. This may take several efforts
or a few minutes to disengage all accumulated debris,
especially if it has been a while since e last cleaning.
Try to hold e toaster steady in dislodging e crumbs
so they don’t fly in all directions.


3. Take a plastic knife or any piece of cutlery
& gently scrape e rest of e crumbs
from e bottom of e toaster. Then reach into e top
& bottom openings of e appliance to tap
or scrape e internal wires to loosen baked on debris.
Look inside to find trapped deposits from burned toast
or built up caches of crumbs. Tap these lightly until they crumble out.
This may take several minutes if e toaster
has not been cleaned in some time,
or if several family members frequently use it.

4.When you are satisfied that most of
e crumbs have been removed,
latch e bottom of e toaster to close it.
Take a slightly damp cloth & wipe e cord & plug clean of dust.
Wipe e area where e toaster usually sits,
as well as surrounding appliances or wall space.
This includes any cupboard faces
or bottoms that are located near e toaster.

5.Then lightly moisten a clean cloth with clear warm water.
Firmly wipe e outside of e toaster to remove crumbs, smudges, & fingerprints.
Don't forget e dials, knobs, & other cooking indicators or surfaces.
If it has a stainless steel finish, daub a clean cloth
with a small amount of rubbing alcohol.
Shine e toaster's surface to remove all traces of grime
or wear. (Do not use alcohol inside e toaster.) Let e appliance air dry.


Plug it back in when you are done, first checking to be sure there is no lingering alcohol scent on e appliance, as this may be flammable. Now you are ready for fresh, hot toast! Repeat e process at least monthly or more often if your toaster enjoys frequent use.
