The video has since gone viral and many admitted they ‘never knew’ how to clean a toaster properly.
‘I stopped using a toaster years ago because I didn’t know how to clean it,’ one person wrote.
‘Don’t forget to unplug first!’ another added.
A third was in disbelief and said: ‘The amount of people that aren’t aware that toasters have trays is disgusting to be honest, I clean every two to three weeks.’
