To get rid of bread crumbs, you need to clean your toaster regularly. Unplug the toaster and place it onto a newspaper laid on a flat surface. Slide the crumb tray from the toaster and shake it to remove loose crumbs, debris, dust, and dirt. Use warm, soapy water to clean the plate, just like any other dishes. If the toaster doesn’t have a crumb tray, use a toothbrush to scrub inside. Wipe the device’s exterior a wiping cloth or a non-scratch sponge. If you want to see this in action, we have videos in our toaster buying guide that you can check out.
