I spent the majority of my teenage years hanging out around a firehouse where I volunteered as an EMT. I quickly learned which household items can be a fire hazard. The toaster is one of them. Today, I'm hear to teach you how to properly clean a toaster to decrease the risk of fire and to make it look pretty again.
Baked on grime is easily removed using a common house hold item. This same product can be used to give those old baking trays new life.
Crumbs that don't fall in the tray often live lodged in the toaster cage.
Use a small vacuum brush attachment to get those crumbs.
You can use a vinegar solution to give the stainless steel new life!

I was amazed/grossed out by how many crumbs don't fall into the crumb tray. The vacuum works great to get them though. :)
