Air fryers have gained mass popularity and are adored for how convenient they are to use, but cleaning them can be a real chore.
Cleaning influencer Judy Gilroy has captivated fans with her latest cleaning hack that promises to make air fryers look as good as new, but without any scrubbing.
In a video posted to her Instagram account, Gilroy shared her simple yet effective method for cleaning one of the most popular kitchen appliances, and the post has quickly gone viral.
Gilroy said: “This one is honestly the best hack ever; it cleans your air fryer so quickly and so effectively that it looks brand new.”
With just three basic ingredients, washing-up liquid, baking soda, and boiling water, Gilroy’s hack takes only 30 minutes to complete.
Here’s the step-by-step method she shared:
1. Add Cleaning Ingredients:
Start by adding a squirt of washing-up liquid and a quarter cup of baking soda to the air fryer basket.
2. Fill with Boiling Water:
Pour boiling water into the basket until it reaches the top. Let it sit for 20-30 minutes, allowing the mixture to break down any built-up grease and food residue.
3. Rinse and Wipe Clean:
After soaking, empty the basket into the sink and rinse with warm water. Use a non-abrasive sponge if there are any remaining bits.
4. Dry with Paper Towel:
Finally, dry the air fryer with a paper towel, leaving it spotless and ready to use again.
With zero elbow grease required, the hack is a hit among air fryer owners looking for a quick and easy way to maintain their appliances.
“It’s incredible how easy and effective this is,” commented one fan, while another added, “Tried it last night, and my air fryer looks brand new!”
