If you’ve ever used an air fryer, then you know how great they are. But the fact is that after a while, food residue builds up on the inside of your air fryer and it starts to look like it’s never been cleaned. This post will help guide you through the steps needed to keep your air fryer clean and ready for use!
Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees and run it for 5 minutes to burn off any food residue.

Use a paper towel to spread around and rub the oil into all the cracks and crevices of your appliance, including on top of the fan blades, where you’ll find some of the most stubborn bits of gunk.
Next, soak a paper towel with cooking oil and set the paper towel on the bottom of the air fryer and let it soak.
Next, soak a paper towel with cooking oil and set the paper towel on the bottom of the air fryer and let it soak. The oil will soak into the paper towel, which will then absorb all of the grease. Paper towels are great for this because they don’t burn or smoke when exposed to high temperatures like other materials might do. You can also use a rag or old T-shirt instead if you want something softer on your hands!

Now that you have the oil inside your air fryer, it’s time to spread it around and rub it into all the cracks and crevices. You can use a paper towel to do this, but be careful not to rip or tear anything! If you don’t have any spare paper towels lying around, try using a wooden spoon instead.
Once you’ve covered every inch of your contraption with oil (and possibly some leftover food particles), wipe off any excess by rubbing with another clean paper towel or rag. Then wipe down again with another clean one until all traces of grease are gone from both sides of your appliance–you don’t want any lingering smells when you’re cooking later!
Put the drawer back in and repeat with another sheet of paper towel soaked in oil.

Using a cloth, wipe down all surfaces of your air fryer (including the control panel) and give it a quick wipe with a damp cloth to remove any remaining dust or grease.
Take out the drawer, clean with soapy water or throw in dishwasher.
Clean your air fryer by taking out the drawer, washing it in soapy water and rinsing it off. If you have a dishwasher, feel free to wash your air fryer in there as well. Just don’t put any of these utensils in there:
- Metal utensils (like spoons) could scratch the surface of your appliance and make it look old or damaged
- Plastic utensils (like spatulas) can melt onto the surface of your appliance if they get too hot while being washed
Let it dry completely before using again.
If you want to clean your air fryer, let it dry completely before using again.
This is especially important if you have used it recently and there is any moisture left from cooking food in the fryer. If there is still some moisture inside, it could make a mess when you try to use it again.
It takes only takes about 10 minutes to have an air fryer looking like new!
Cleaning your air fryer is easy! Most people think that because it’s a new technology, it must be difficult to clean. However, this isn’t true at all! You can clean your air fryer in just 10 minutes with simple ingredients from the kitchen and some warm water.
It does not matter if you use soap or not as long as you follow these steps:
- Wash the removable parts of your machine with warm water; dishwasher soap is also an option but we recommend using natural liquid detergent instead (like Dr Bronner’s castile soap) so as not to damage any rubber seals or other small parts inside of them (like those used in microwaves).
- To clean out any oils left over after cooking foods such as french fries or chicken wings; simply wipe down all surfaces using paper towels until they are completely dry before returning them back into place again afterwards!
Conclusion
We hope this post has helped you understand how to clean your air fryer. Now go forth and enjoy the many benefits of a clean machine!
