How to clean a toaster oven inside

Do not use Easy–Off^®oven cleaner or any oven cleaners on your toaster oven; it is overkill and might harm the inside parts.

Mix 1 teaspoon of dish soap with 1 cup of warm water and 1 cup of vinegar. Use a gentle dish sponge with a scrubbing side to apply the mix to the surface of the toaster oven’s interior. Scrub the ceiling, sides and floor of the inside of the appliance to remove all grease and crumbs.

Clean the inside of your toaster

Dampen a toothbrush or a soft cloth and use it to gently brush the toaster coils inside. For extra cleaning power, use a little white vinegar on your cloth or toothbrush, making sure that you aren’t getting your tools too wet as this can be hazardous.

To clean a toaster oven with baking soda, create a paste with baking soda & water. In a cool, unplugged toaster oven, spread the paste on the inside of the oven, avoiding the heating elements. Let sit at least 12 hours or more. For minor cleaning, 1 hour should suffice.

Make a paste using equal parts baking soda and water, and coat the baked-on grease with it. Allow the paste to sit on it for at least 15 minutes. Scrub the grease away with a clean cloth dipped in hot water—the baking soda will act as an abrasive.

Toaster Oven Cleaning Hacks

According to Breville USA Support, you should not use abrasive cleaners, metal scouring pads or metal utensils on the crumb tray, interior or exterior parts of the oven. Just make sure you don’t use any cleaner around it and before you use your oven again, it needs to be 100 percent dry.

To loosen any baked-on grease spots, pour a mixture of dish soap, hot water, and baking soda in the bottom of your glassware. Additionally, you can use a dryer sheet, baking soda and vinegar, a Magic Eraser, toothpaste, or denture cleaning tablets to weaken the stain.

Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar, and use it to thoroughly saturate the glass. Let the vinegar soak in for at least 10 minutes. Let it soak even longer if there’s significant buildup. Dip a scrub sponge into baking soda, and scrub the glass.

Use a glass cleaner to remove streaking.

For sparkling, clear oven glass, use a commercial glass and window cleaner, such as Windex, to give the glass one last wipe. Spray some of the cleaner on a paper towel and wipe from side to side. There is no need to dry again. Your oven is now ready for use as normal.

While you might imagine that a glass stove top should be cleaned with a glass cleaner (like Windex), these cleaning products are actually not suitable for a cooktop, as they can lead to permanent stains and streaking on the fragile surface.

Grab a small bowl and mix a 1/2 cup of baking soda with 2 to 3 tablespoons of water. Tweak the ratio until you have a spreadable paste. Put on your gloves and using your fingers, spread the paste around the inside of your oven, covering the back, sides, bottom, top, door, corners and crevices.

Method Two: After you’ve spread baking soda paste over the surface of the oven, pour vinegar over the surface and allow the baking soda and vinegar to react and fizz. The chemical reaction will help loosen the debris, so it is easy to scrub off.
