Nearly One-Third Never Clean Their Air Fryers, Shark Survey Finds

Shark's microbiologist urges daily washes plus regular deep cleans to curb grease and bacteria.

Overview

  • Recent surveys indicate roughly two-thirds to seven in ten UK adults own an air fryer.
  • The company says liners do not eliminate the need to wash the basket and tray after each use.
  • Deep cleans are recommended at least every four weeks, or every two to three weeks for heavy use.
  • Suggested methods include a non-scratch sponge, a baking soda paste for stubborn grease, and a white vinegar with washing-up liquid mix, followed by a warm-water rinse.
  • Shark notes these appliances require more care than ovens, with the advice aimed at hygiene and preserving performance.
