Well in the market today we have a number of cleaners that isn't harmful or acidic to clean these appliances. This guide will show you how you can clean your oven in a step by step manner.


Never immerse the oven in water. First of all, turn off the toaster oven and then unplug it. The toaster has to cool completely before it is cleaned. Remove the crumb tray of the oven with a thin soft brush so that finer particles can be traced and discarded. Put out the crumb tray and then scrub it with a good soap, a soft sponge and warm water. Wipe down the exterior surfaces of the toaster using an oven cleaner. Use a soft cloth as well as a sanitizing spray like WD 40. Do not use steel scrubber. The plastic parts can be wiped clean with a warm detergent solution.
