Air fryers are convenient kitchen appliances, but figuring out how to properly clean this appliance is often a mystery.

While air fryers use little oil, they still cook like crazy, which can lead to splatters and grease buildup like those found on cooktops and oven glass.

They require regular maintenance to keep your favorite dishes coming out effectively. Looking for an easy solution to make your air fryer shine again? One clever lady has revealed her budget-friendly trick.

In the Facebook group Mrs Hinch Army Cleaning Tips, Adrianna Griffin claimed that dishwasher tablets were the key to removing stubborn stains from air fryers.

These versatile and efficient cleaning aids are a must-have for anyone looking for quick and easy cleaning tips.

Not only do they make dishwashing a breeze, but they’re also great for adding some much-needed styling to other areas of the home and various appliances, including air fryers.

Adrianna posted a snapshot of her sparkling clean air fryer basket and wrote: “Who said an air fryer dishwasher tablet is a lifesaver?

“The food residue stuck to the tray could not be removed by simply scrubbing.”

She added: “A five-minute soak in boiling water, followed by a rinse and wipe, and the job was done. The grease just melted away.”

“I don’t even have a dishwasher but got these very cheap and thought they could be used for some cleaning tips I saw on this site.”

The mixture of enzymes, bases and surfactants in these tablets is ideal for removing grease stains, food marks and even unpleasant odors.
