The toaster It is not usually a priority when it comes to cleaning. The bread doesn’t stain very much, and after all the toaster heats up red hot, so it doesn’t seem like many bacteria will survive…

But these appliances have a weak point: the breadcrumbs that come off the toast. They usually fall into a removable tray at the bottom of the toaster, but some remains burn and get stuck somewhere. Or they slip through holes in the chassis, out of the tray.

Most people agree by removing the tray and throwing away the bread that has fallen, but it is usually not enough if there are crumbs stuck or that have sneaked into other parts of the toaster.
