It looks amazing. I'm happy she used a real life toaster oven because let's face it, few people really clean their air fryer or toaster ovens every single time!! I'd be very nervous about getting anything in those heating elements.

I use a spray bottle mix of vinegar and water and then baking soda...used it on an oven that when I moved in no one ever cleaned and it SOOO worked and helped!

I second, third, fourth the idea of putting plastic wrap over the cleaner you use. I've also used plastic wrap over Easy-Off fume freea cleaner and let it sit. Finally, the next time you're at Dollar Tree, get little brushes from the crafts aisle. It's good for getting crumbs out where the door meets the rest of the oven. Finally, I always wrap the crumb tray in foil. Some manufacturers don't recommend doing that, but they're not the ones who are cleaning my toaster oven.

I dont know how creators do it. I found you 2 weeks ago because I was searching for a video EXACTLY like this! I binge watched and then cleaned my whole house 😂 and HERE is the video I NEEDED ❤

Did y’all test the oven to see if it still worked after cleaning it? Btw, is it safe to spray on the heating element?

I did this just a couple months ago , it was my MIL and she is in her 80's and just bought a new instead of cleaning the one she had. Dawn power wash did amazing job!!! I

Baking soda and dawn dish soap will get all that sticky gunky stuff off. That’s how I clean mine and it works like a charm.

You guys did an absolutely amazing job!!

I like the copper coated scouring pads for scrubbing stainless steel pots without scratching them the way SOS/steel wool can. I’ve certainly used SOS pads on my toaster oven rack, but Power Wash wasn’t around then. I’ll have to try the DW pod hack. I also line the toaster oven crumb tray with heavy duty aluminum foil for quick cleanup.

Here's a good trick to keep the vertical walls of the oven soaking in the product: After spraying the walls thoroughly with product, immediately cover with plastic wrap. This will not only keep the product covering all surfaces, but it stops the products from drying out. Even if you leave it overnight, the product will stay wet, and therefore continue cleaning. Cleaning will be much easier after soaking for more time.

Nailed it! You guys sure know how to work magic.

this was INCREDIBLY helpful! Thank you so much!!👍🏻

I am happy I watched your video.. I was thinking about buying a new toaster oven.. Now I am going to use the cleaners you used and save my money.

What about the heat element? Do you need to protect it?

Holy guacamole! Thanks for showing us a realistic sticky toaster oven. This was great time lapse.. And the reminder to do in layers. And a striped sweater...wow

Thank you for doing this. I've got a toaster oven and have been wondering how to clean it. Going to break out some Dawn power wash and give it a go!

I’d never let mine go this far but this method/ these products are great. And also I’d buy a new one 🤭

My adult son has one just like this one. Guess I need to head there for a weekend and walk him through how to clean it. Thanks from Red Deer. ❤

I volunteered to clean my mothers toaster oven so... I bought a new one! She wasn't fooled.

OMG It works. I'm about 3/4 through. Need to buy some stuff, but toaster oven hasn't looked this good in years.

It looks amazing

This is one reason I put off buying a toaster oven for so long. So much fun to clean. I have been using vinegar and baking soda.

I used to clean industrial pizza ovens. I would always finish with a light coat of baby oil. It would give it a nice finish. The oil would also create a layer under any future grease and it would be easier to clean next time.

I also line crumb tray with tin foil.

Thank you, I just got an air fryer so I will do this often so it doesn't get so bad. Thanks for explain the difference between the power wash Dawn and the regular Dawn. I thought it was just watered down Dawn.

Wow!! I will be trying this

I don’t know about spraying cleaners of any kind over the controls as it gets into the wiring. I’m not sold on Dawn power clean seeing as you used sos pads to scrub while the dawn was still in the machine

I use Easy Off degreaser. I spray it and then coat where I sprayed with cling wrap. This would work on the drip tray too. The cling film keeps the degreaser moist. This works well on pots and pans too.

I used normal dish soap bicarb bit warm water mix to past left for bout 3hrs then used old worn sponge scourer to get grease of n it worked

You are Ahhhhmazing! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I’m definitely going to try the new Dawn product. I thought it was just another look for Dawn dish soap. Thank you.

Bon Ami + copper scrubber usually does the job for me...all natural.

👍👍👍beautiful work

This just on time for the holidays. I have the Ninja foodi convection smart oven toaster. I used it once for the day I bought it for that Christmas and maybe used 3 times since the most. I went to just using my air fryer. I need to clean both the air fryer needs it more but I don't know if I can use Dawn power wash on the fan area?🤔 That's definitely is where the fan gets gunked up the most then burns out quickly. I lost another off name toster oven like that. I will try all of these you didn't say which dish pod to use my guess this is like a Cascade? I don't have a dishwasher so I don't know.🤔 Thanks so much for doing this video... I was about to risk it all and use easyoff I bought now I'll take it back because of this video. 😂😂😂 Thank you 😊👍🏾❤

This is a great video!

I didn’t know you could spray inside because of the burners on the bottom. Thanks for the presentation, looks great.😊

Can you get dawn on the heating element ?

A great improvement,

Looks like the same toaster oven I have. How would you get the inside top of the oven clean? Mine is disgusting and I have tried to clean it but, it's really hard to get at, even turning upside down and elements are in the way. The door gets in the way too. We use ours alot, especially in the summer.

I have a Breville and it's all I use (to avoid cleaning my big oven). will get Mr. Clean and Dawn Power wash and go for it. thanks

You should NOT use SOS pads ! They cause micro abrasions and will damage the surfaces. Use a soft sponge instead and microfiber cloths. It takes a little longer but is worth it ! Rince everything with water and a bit of lemon juice after.

I don't know how I got here but I love this woman

Hi. Did you just spray into the inside where the vents are? Please need to know.

Would it have been better to use a non steel type pad so as not to scratch the metal?

I always put aluminum foil on the bottom crum tray. Then easy peasy too keep it from getting disgusting, and just have to change the foil

Ive had good luck using bar keepers friend on the outside of my toaster oven

The best way to clean a toaster oven is to stay on top of it and never allow it to get this bad. I say this from experience. My TO was so bad when I moved, I just threw away a perfectly working oven. I was so overwhelmed with it. I’ve owned two since and both stayed clean throughout their lifetimes. One just stopped working. As soon as a little buildup or crumbs start. It gets a thorough cleaning. Then it takes about 5 minutes. Same for microwaves and ovens. I learned my cleaning lessons the hard way.😅😅

I put foil on the bottom of mine and change it once in a while. My problem is the window glass. It is looking very bad. I am going to clean it. Thanks!

I wsa going to throw mine away but my toaster oven is still good. Thank you for sharing this video

Surprised no one has mentioned Barkeepers Friend. Hardly any scrubbing.

How do you removed the metal guards off the heat element ?

I cover the crumb tray and cooking sheet with foil and when it gets gunky I can replace the foil instead of scrubbing them.

Is it ok to use the Dawn Spray on the Radiant bars that actually heat up to do the cooking please?

I use clorax especially when I burn the beans. I put clorax in The pan and let it sit over night, next morning it is spotless

Toaster oven are great in the summer so don't have to heat up the kitchen if you want to make biscuits or bake a pie or pizza. In the winter they are good for heating plates to keep meal warm I use mine daily for lots of things oddly enough not for toast. Lol

I recently stayed at my daughter's place. Her toaster oven gave me nightmares. The Virgo in me is compelled to clean that sucker on my next visit. I'll be going armed for action. Thx for the cleaning demo.

Maybe use one of those pads that you use on glass stove tops.

Great job! I need to do mine… should I just go straight in with Mr. Clean if it’s like this toaster oven? How long do I let it sit? Thanks!

Is it okay to use Dawn power wash in a situation like this where you're not going to be able to rinse it off?

You're a hoot to watch! Will give it a go.😀

Can I use this same method + cleaning products to clean a Ninja Foodi 8-in-1 air fryer oven?

Of my gosh, scrub for a couple hours , time, supplies = time to buy a new on. $35 to $100 bucks. Or foil the bottom, keep your racks clean, it will last many years before replacing. I have a brand new one stored from Costco $35.00

How do you rinse the burn element to get the soap out from scrubbing, without ruining it?

OK, I was just wondering if you’ve ever tried a dryer sheet in water to soak out a filthy dish or pan? I did and it worked extremely well. I am going to try your tips here on my toaster oven which I love but I use daily! Thanks for this!

Can you spray water on the elements to rinse them? Should you leave the door down overnight to dry it out?

This totally blew my mind. You can spray the Dawn Powerwash & Mr Clean on the heating elements?? 😳

Is it safe to saturate the oven with a water based product? I'd be afraid to plug it back in.

Boil a couple of cups of water put it in the oven, turn the temperature all the way up and the steam will take a lot of that stuff out

Which SOS pass did you use? Wouldn’t a regular one scratch the aluminum finish?

I wonder if a periodical cooking of lemon juice inside the toaster oven would help it with cleaning it later? Hmm Something none toxic...

Thanks so much for your help I believe it just takes a little time an Clean more frequently like each time you use it or maybe baking soda my help I really just do know but I am working on my on it looks a little better but I did not try as much so I am getting to work on it again with a cleaning product i really appreciate your product an information Thanks I am really afraid of fire thank

don't have dawn power wash in Australia... I'll have to google for an alternative i guess 🙁

Thanks for the great tips and all your hard work. You are, of course, insane but luv ya just the same. If the oven isn't smoking and it's cooking fine, I would just put a cloth cover over it when not in use or buy a new one. That size oven is pretty cheap and probably took years to get that dirty. It wouldn't owe me anything. I'd rather work at my job to earn the money for a new one than spend my leisure time scrubbing a toaster oven for hours on end. But you're likely making some cash for what you do and we appreciate it too.

I have a toaster oven/air fryer/ convection overnncombo. Would the dawn work on that too

Does dawn power wash have ammonia in it? The only thing that usually cuts grease is ammonia.

I wonder if this would also work in an air-fryer?…🦋🦋🦋

Transcript button doesn't work. Trying to get the name of the last product you used to wipe the exterior. Wyman's? Lyman's? Weiman -- found it on Amazon.

Bravo!!! I also have a keen attention to and for detail. Kitchen appliances IMHO ought NEVER get as greasy, grimy, or have BAKED ON, encrusted residual gunk burned on. I have vastly different characterization of what “PROPERLY” clean is. Have always gone high end with kitchen appliances. Wolf, Viking, Sub Zero, and Kitchenaid etc. Special ordered a Kitchenaid 1800W digital Convection countertop toaster over in a Bimini Caribbean Turquoise Blue for my better half. It was over $600.00. My profession kept me away on the West Coast of the USA, then, 14 months on the other side of the globe. The poor appliance looks as if it has never been cleaned!!! I am happy to see how yours came out. May dive into next week! Thank you so much for your post!

What about the vents on the inside? Mine personally have more then this one had, but I’m terrified of spraying dawn or mister clean onto that side because I would basically be spraying it into all the in workings of the machine. Is this safe for that

I wouldn't use Dawn Powerwash on the interior of anything that will be heated up or in contact with food. It ruined my oven door because it soaked in and couldn't be properly rinsed out enough because it is SO concentrated.

Dawn Professional Power Disolver Spray. It comes in a white spray container. I tried to link a picture, but it would not link. My daughter worked at a chain restraurant and they used this to clean the pot/pans. She told me about it and now I use it on everything. It is not a strong odor and can be used indoors. Nice job on the toaster oven

Excellent demonstration! BUT why are you wearing such a beautiful top! When I get around to cleaning my TO, I'll have to wear a hazmat suit. 🤣

How do you get all that soap out of toaster oven since you can’t rinse it?

How long can switch on the oven after cleaning?

Is the wetness cause electric wont work?

I use good old oven cleaner…good on stainless..not for aluminum.

I wrecked my crumb tray, insert cooking tray, and air fryer basket with rust, so my stuff falls straight to the oven floor. I wish i had money to replace it, my oven/stove got unplugged and it'll be a nightmare moving the fridge,etc to get it plugged back in (plus that oven doesnt work right, so its just the stove.) I hope I can manage cleaning it, im not patient about chores. (I have hopeless depression and no motivation, so it's easy to give up.) 😩

They say not to use brillow as it can damage air fryer

Looks like my single sons toaster oven.

Can’t believe you did that in a white shirt!

You do know powerwash is just water, rubbing alcohol and Dawn dish soap? Super cheap to make your own.

Okay am I the only one impressed that you are cleaning wearing a WHITE top?😱😱😱

Nothing like Easy Off for the rest 👍

Your are wearing White!!! While cleaning this!!! I cleaned my toaster oven during 2020 cleaning spree and all the text came off my dial wheels display.

Brillo pad. You are kidding me.

I did this and now it smokes and smells horrible every time I turn it on 😩😩

Thanks i was about to throw mine out.

It took me an hour of my precious time on earth to clean my brand new, big toaster oven and the trays even after spraying them with non-stick cooking spray. I had cooked my first chicken wings in it. (I actually think the spray made the cleaning more difficult because of the heat baking it on due to the close proximity of the heating elements). I won't do that again. From now on all the trays including the faux non-stick trays and accessories are going in the dishwasher maybe after soaking a bit? The inside will be wiped out but virtually impossible to clean it spotless after grease spatters everywhere. Can't even put foil on the drip/crumb tray because it's too close to the heating elements and the foil threatens to touch them. Forget it. It will get "seasoned" like my old one is (and I'm keeping that btw). It still works great for pizza, fries, chicken tenders etc. There is a toaster oven with a mostly non-stick interior on Amazon and it has concealed heating elements so would be easy to clean except people complained the bottom was not easy at all because it is ceramic and it cooked the meat juices to a blackened mess and you CANNOT put foil on it while cooking. They also complained about other things too. I had the machine in my house and it was way too complicated to operate it and it kept turning itself off. Sent it back. Thanks for the tips in this video. Will definitely start using dishwasher detergent for soaking n such. Somebody needs to make a toaster oven with a self-clean cycle like my big range oven has. Life is too short.

;rillow can scratch the coating

Wow... a white sweater. You're brave...
