Should you clean inside a toaster?

Question

Is it necessary to clean the inside of a toaster? I've seen lots of toaster cleaning hacks, but I'm worried this will break the toaster and I've never felt ill from eating toast.

I would suggest removing the bottom tray to empty crumbs, and tip upside down to shake out any crumbs as well - rather than any products inside. And wiping the external surfaces.

Leon · Answer

No too much risk ie risk of damaging the appliance or risk to the customer either way its way too risky to attempt it.

Empty the crumb tray with each use and clean the interior and exterior of a toaster weekly in order to best avoid excess grime and burnt food particles. Deep cleaning a toaster and wiping the grills may benefit from baking soda solution in order to really eliminate those smelly odors and should be done once a month.

you can clean the crumb tray underneath but wont advise sticking anything in it.
