The air fryer oven has become a staple in modern kitchens, offering a healthier way to cook delicious meals quickly. However, frequent use leads to the accumulation of grease, food residue, and odors inside the appliance. If you don't clean it regularly, it can not only affect the performance of your air fryer oven but also the quality of the food you cook. While many people turn to commercial chemical cleaners, these products can be expensive and often contain harmful ingredients.

 

Fortunately, baking soda and vinegar—two common household items—provide a natural, effective cleaning solution. They can remove stubborn grease and odors, and are safe for both your appliance and your health. Plus, they are eco-friendly and affordable. In this guide, HYSapientia will discuss how to use baking soda and vinegar to keep your air fryer oven sparkling clean and in optimal working condition!

I. Why Choose Baking Soda and Vinegar?

1. Natural and Safe, Environmentally Friendly

Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and vinegar (acetic acid) are natural cleaning agents. Unlike many commercial cleaners, they don’t contain harmful chemicals or release toxic fumes. When you use them to clean your air fryer oven, you won’t have to worry about chemical residues affecting the safety of your next meal. Additionally, these substances are biodegradable and environmentally friendly, causing no harm to water sources or the air.

2. Versatile Cleaning Solution

Baking soda, with its mild alkalinity, is excellent at removing dirt and grease, while also acting as a gentle abrasive. This makes it ideal for tackling stubborn grime on trays and racks. Vinegar, on the other hand, with its acidic properties, breaks down mineral deposits and dissolves grease. It also has natural antibacterial properties, making it effective for disinfecting. When combined, baking soda and vinegar become a powerful team to tackle grime, grease, and odors.

3. Cost-Effective

Compared to purchasing expensive chemical cleaners, baking soda and vinegar are extremely cost-effective. Both are inexpensive and can be used for a variety of cleaning purposes around the house. A single bottle of vinegar and a box of baking soda will not only keep your air fryer oven clean but can also serve other cleaning needs in your kitchen and beyond, offering great value for money.

II. How to Use Baking Soda and Vinegar to Clean Your Air Fryer Oven

1. Materials You’ll Need

Before starting the cleaning process, gather the following simple materials:

 

Baking soda: about half a cup

White vinegar: about one cup

Warm water: as needed

Spray bottle: one (for the vinegar)

Soft cloth or sponge: one or two

Soft-bristled brush: one (for scrubbing stubborn stains)

Toothpick or small tool: for cleaning tight crevices

2. Step-by-Step Cleaning Instructions

Step 1: Unplug and Let the Appliance Cool

First, ensure your air fryer oven is turned off and has completely cooled down. For safety reasons, always unplug the appliance before cleaning to avoid any accidents during the process.

Step 2: Remove Any Detachable Parts

Take out any removable components from your air fryer oven, such as the baking trays, fryer basket, and racks. These areas tend to accumulate the most grease and food debris, and they will need special attention.

Step 3: Prepare a Baking Soda Paste

In a small bowl, mix about half a cup of baking soda with enough warm water to form a thick paste. Stir until you achieve a spreadable consistency. This paste will be your main cleaning agent for scrubbing the inside surfaces of your air fryer oven.

Step 4: Apply the Baking Soda Paste

Using a soft cloth or sponge, apply the baking soda paste evenly to the interior walls, bottom, and any areas with heavy buildup in the air fryer oven. Pay special attention to spots where grease tends to accumulate. Once applied, let the paste sit for 15–20 minutes, allowing it to break down the dirt and grease.

Step 5: Spray Vinegar Over the Baking Soda

Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar and lightly spray it over the areas where you applied the baking soda. The reaction between the vinegar and baking soda will create a foaming action, which helps to further loosen grease and grime. Let the foam sit for a few minutes to maximize its cleaning effect.

Step 6: Wipe Down the Surfaces

After the foaming reaction has subsided, use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe away the baking soda and vinegar mixture. As you wipe, the loosened dirt and grease will come off as well. For particularly tough stains, use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the areas.

Step 7: Clean the Detachable Parts

For the detachable parts like air fryer baskets, soak them in warm water with a bit of baking soda for 15–20 minutes. After soaking, scrub with a soft brush to remove any stuck-on food or grease. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and dry with a clean towel.

Step 8: Dry and Reassemble

Once everything is thoroughly cleaned and rinsed, use a dry cloth to wipe down the inside of the air fryer oven, making sure there is no residual moisture. Allow all parts to air-dry completely before reassembling the appliance.

III. Additional Tips for Cleaning Your Air Fryer Oven

1. Clean Regularly:

It’s essential to clean your air fryer oven regularly, especially after cooking greasy foods. A thorough cleaning every few uses can prevent grease and grime from building up, which helps maintain your appliance’s performance.

2. Prevent Odors:

Regularly using baking soda and vinegar can effectively eliminate odors, preventing your air fryer oven from developing any unpleasant smells over time. If odors persist, after cleaning, sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the fryer basket or on the tray and leave it overnight before wiping it off in the morning.

3. Avoid Using Harsh Scrubbing Tools:

Although baking soda and vinegar are effective at removing tough grime, it’s important to avoid using metal scrubbers or other abrasive cleaning tools, as they may scratch the surface of your air fryer oven or damage its non-stick coating.

4. Don’t Forget the Vents:

Air fryer ovens have vents that also need occasional cleaning. Use a toothpick or small tool to remove any dust, grease, or food particles from the vent holes, ensuring smooth air circulation and better cooking performance.

IV. Why Natural Cleaning Solutions Matter

More and more consumers today are seeking alternatives to harsh chemical cleaners for health, safety, and environmental reasons. Many commercial cleaners contain chemicals that can leave harmful residues, irritate skin, and harm the environment when washed down the drain. By opting for natural alternatives like baking soda and vinegar, you are making a conscious choice that benefits both your household and the planet.

1. A Healthier Home

Air fryer ovens come into direct contact with the food you prepare for yourself and your family. By using baking soda and vinegar, you can clean your appliance without the risk of harmful chemical residues being left behind. This is especially important when cooking at high temperatures, as residual chemicals could release toxic fumes. With natural cleaning solutions, you can rest assured that your meals are safe and chemical-free.

2. A Safer Environment

Chemical cleaners can have detrimental effects on the environment. Many of the substances used in these products are not biodegradable, meaning they can persist in the environment for long periods and cause harm to aquatic life when they enter water systems. Baking soda and vinegar, on the other hand, are eco-friendly alternatives that break down naturally without leaving harmful traces.

V. Conclusion

Maintaining a clean air fryer oven is crucial for its durability, performance, and the quality of the food you prepare. By choosing natural cleaning methods like baking soda and vinegar, you can easily keep your appliance spotless and free from harmful chemicals. These eco-friendly solutions not only save you money but also contribute to a healthier home and environment.
