If you've got an air fryer at home, you'll know it can be an absolute nightmare to clean.

Air fryers are a nifty kitchen gadget, but figuring out the proper way to clean this appliance is often a puzzle.

Although air fryers might be low on oil use, and we use them to cook anything from fried chicken to baking cakes, they can still end up having splatters and grease build-up like you find on hobs and oven glass.

They require consistent maintenance to keep churning out your go-to dishes effectively. Are you in search of a simple solution to get that air fryer as good as new?

A TikTok cleaning guru, who goes by the name of @Cleaningwithdanielled shared her tips on how to use dishwasher tablets to tackle tough stains on air fryers, requiring minimal effort by adding a dishwashing tablet to the basket, adding boiling water and leaving it to soak for 30 minutes.
