Destroy air fryer grease and dirt with 11p household staple
Share:
If you're the unlucky one in your household who has to tackle the greasy air fryer, you'll know it's not exactly a prize-winning task - but an 11p kitchen staple might just be your saviour. Air fryers have revolutionised our kitchens, allowing us to chuck in various foods for a quick cook, resulting in deliciously crispy and tasty treats - yet, they're notoriously tricky to get clean.
The effort of scrubbing off all that built-up grease can take ages, but a woman seeking advice on the Mrs Hinch Army Cleaning Tips Facebook group was met with a surprisingly affordable solution. She wrote: "Can anyone recommend a product to clean my Ninja air fryer? It's got lots of stuck-on sticky grease and no matter what I try it won't come off. I have tried Elbow Grease, Pink Stuff, bleach etc.".
Contrary to expectations of a fancy cleaning spray recommendation, many suggested a common laundry item - biological washing powder. One person advised: "Try soaking in biological washing powder and boiling water. The enzymes in the powder break down the grease. Make sure you rinse really well though.".
Echoing this, another added: "Hot water straight from the kettle and a bit of washing powder. I swear by it. Mine looked just like that." One woman revealed: "Elbow Grease wouldn't remove the grease on my air fryer but the cheap laundry powder from Asda did.".
