This air fryer cleaning trick is the one professional cleaners swear by!

As we age, the tasks that once seemed trivial can become more challenging, and cleaning is no exception.
For those of us who have embraced modern kitchen gadgets like air fryers, the convenience of cooking is offset by the dread of cleaning up afterwards.
To make our cleanups easier, a cleaning expert just shared a game-changing tip that will make cleaning your air fryer as easy as pie–without any strenuous scrubbing.
Claire Jenkins, a professional cleaner from Kirkintilloch, Scotland, is one-half of the social media sensation known as the Wee Scotty Cleaners.
Alongside her ‘partner in grime’ Hazel McKinnie, their page has become a go-to source for practical and easy cleaning advice, amassing 92,000 followers on social media.
In a recent video, Claire showcased her effortless method for getting an air fryer to sparkle after cooking up some sizzling bacon.
Her approach is simple yet effective: don't let the grease set in.
Before sitting down to enjoy her meal, Claire removes the air fryer's detachable compartment and fills it with hot water straight from the tap. This preemptive soak ensures that grease and food particles will not harden and stick.
'Let's just turn that hot water on and this way there will be no scrubbing involved because it's still hot and it's still wet, so you're not giving it time to dry in okay.'
Claire's go-to tool for this task is a Dishmatic sponge on a stick, which cleverly allows you to fill the handle with washing-up liquid.
After letting the compartment soak while she eats, Claire returns to find that the previously greasy surface is now ready to be wiped clean with minimal effort.
The bacon residue, which would have been a pain to scrub off if dried, now slides off effortlessly.
'Now look how easy this is going to come off. This [sponge] has got washing up liquid in it and it's going to take no scrubbing at all.'
The result? A gleaming air fryer, ready for its next use, and no sore arms or hands from scrubbing.
Claire's demonstration is a testament to the power of tackling messes before they become stubborn, and the clever use of a Dishmatic sponge makes the process even easier.
Although met with positive comments, some viewers of the video expressed concerns about potential home hazards.
'Grease down the plug hole,' one comment read.
To avoid possible blockage, cool the hot water first and dispose of the grease in the garbage before rinsing the compartment.
'Just get a b***** air fryer liner. It keeps it safe and looking great for longer,' another comment insisted.
