Air fryers have grown in popularity as one of the quickest and most energy-efficient cooking appliances. As the rising cost of living continues to take a toll on households, many people have stopped using ovens to air-fry their food instead.

However, whilst air fryers are ideal for slashing the price of energy costs, they can be pretty hard to clean after using.

Shoppers have discovered that a bargain Wilko item can get air fryers clean very quickly - and it costs only £1.75.

Sharing bicarbonate of soda to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, savvy shopper Liz Bradley said: "A game changer for me if uve got an air fryer and you can’t get grease of basket put some over basket and add boiling water and leave to steep then wipes straight off I was really amazed."

Wilko currently sells the best-value bicarbonate of sofa, which is priced at £1.75 for 500g. The retailer is also doing a three for £3.50 deal - so you can stock up without breaking the bank.

Commenting on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK post, one shopper said: "Bicarbonate best thing since sliced bread got a big bucket I use it for everything."

While another wrote: "Best cleaning product around. Makes light work of oven doors."

On the Wilko website, the Original Bicarbonate of Soda 500g is described as a versatile cleaner that can clean surfaces, freshen surroundings and eliminate odours.

The retailer claims that it cleans cooker tops, sinks, and tiles, deodorises carpets and upholstery, and banishes odours in baths, basins, and sinks.

The fragrance-free cleaner boasts over 170 five-star reviews at wilko.com. Impressed with the price, one reviewer said: "Can't get this anywhere. Had them in other places but too small and expensive. These are great value for size."

Another added: "Great product (not as grainy as some others) and good price".

While a third penned: ""This product keeps nasty smells at bay. Which is extremely helpful all around the home. People who cannot use strong smelling air fresheners this is perfect."

And a fourth wrote: "This makes an excellent natural cleaning product, especially when teamed with white vinegar. We are all trying to move away from chemicals and this is a good way to achieve this."
