When it comes to cleaning, most of us think we’re pretty good at it.
But, if you have an air fryer, it turns out you’ve probably been scrubbing it wrong. Lots of Brits now have one as they’re a super easy and convenient way to cook up meals.
The only thing you don’t know is you’ve probably missed cleaning a vital spot of the machinery, and the discovery has left people feeling a little uneasy.

It turns out, if you fail to give your air fryer a good scrub then bits can actually become baked into it. One person recently discovered this when they were cleaning, and made quite an icky discovery.
The discovery was so grim they felt they had to share their findings on their TikTok account, Just Clean It, and it’s left many people wishing they never had to see it.
When you watch the video, you can see dirt and grease has literally stuck to the inside of the gadget. It was a pretty disgusting watch, and people just can’t believe what they were seeing.

One person wrote: “The underside of my air fryer is none of my business.” Another joked: “I don’t know what you’re taking about, I don’t see anything.”
A third added: “Thanks for sharing, now I’ll never get an air fryer.”
After a lot of discussion, many people seemed to agree they’d rather ignore than ditch the gadget. Some even claim they’ve grown attached to the “yellow pillow” that surrounds their cooking machine.
But, it’s not the only item in your kitchen that could be gathering a lot of muck. For example, your hand towels are known for brewing up bacteria if you haven’t washed them in a few days.
Then, if you look around, you’ll probably noticed there’s plenty of grime to be found on various other kitchen appliances aside from the air fryer.
Just take a look inside your microwave. Maybe you should try and rid all the stains before they become stuck and practically unshiftable. The sooner you rid those stains, the better condition your equipment will be in.
So, don’t put off cleaning your appliances for too long, or those pesky marks will only be more difficult to shift!
