Woman discovers 'hidden compartment' in toaster that people never knew existed

A woman's video has gone viral after she uncovered a 'hidden compartment' in toasters that most never knew existed.

Professional cleaner Kacie revealed the mind-blowing hack in a video on TikTok which has since racked up a whopping 2.2million views.

During the video, the cleaner quashed rumours that you should clean a toaster with a hairdyer.

She then pulled out a tray from under the toaster which is designed to collect the crumbs - and people can't believe they didn't know about it.

"This week I was sent one. 'Clean your toaster with a hairdryer'. Just tip it in the bin."

People took to the comments to express their shock at the hidden compartment.

One person commented to say: "There's a TRAY?!?!?!?"
