Keeping your kitchen appliances clean isn’t just about looks — it also ensures they work efficiently, last longer, and keep your food safe. Here’s a practical guide to maintaining appliances like rice cookers, water dispensers, and other everyday tools.
🍚 How to Care for Your Rice Cookers
Rice cookers are used frequently, so regular cleaning prevents residue buildup and keeps rice tasting fresh.
After every use:
- Wash the inner pot, lid, and accessories with mild detergent.
- Use a soft sponge to avoid scratching non-stick surfaces.
- Wipe the outer body with a damp cloth.
Extra care tips 💡
- Ensure the heating plate stays dry and free of rice grains.
- Avoid metal utensils that may damage the coating.
- Let the inner pot cool before washing to preserve durability.
Regular cleaning helps maintain even heat distribution and prevents rice from sticking or burning. Most Toyomi rice cookers also come with a removable inner lid, making it easier to clean and maintain daily hygiene.

💧 How to Care for Water Dispensers and Kettles
Appliances that heat water can develop limescale, especially in regions with mineral-rich water.
Descale regularly
Why it matters:
Limescale reduces heating efficiency, affects water taste, and may shorten appliance life.
Recommended frequency:
Descale every 2–3 weeks to maintain optimal performance.
Quick descaling steps:
- Mix equal parts white vinegar and water (or use a recommended descaler)
- Fill the appliance or water chamber with the solution.
- Run a heating cycle.
- Empty the solution and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Repeat if necessary for stubborn buildup.
Water dispenser care
- Wipe exterior surfaces regularly.
- Refill tanks with fresh water daily.
- Replace filters every 4–6 months or after 1,800L of water dispensed.
- Soak new filters in water for at least 6 hours before first use.
💡 Some Toyomi Dispensers come with Self-Descaling Functions!
This feature reduces manual maintenance, keeps your dispenser hygienic, and helps extend the lifespan of your appliance — perfect for busy households who want hassle-free clean water every day.
Clean water systems ensure better tasting water and reliable performance.

💨 How to Care for Your Air Purifier
Air purifiers work hard every day to remove dust, allergens, and pollutants from your indoor air. A little maintenance goes a long way to keep them performing at their best!
Keep Pets and Hair in Mind:
If you have shedding pets, clean the pre-filter more often to maintain smooth airflow and optimal performance.
Regular Deep Clean:
Every few months, unplug the purifier and wipe the exterior with a slightly damp cloth. Make sure the unit is completely dry before plugging it back in.
Optimal Placement:
Place your purifier in a well-ventilated area with unobstructed airflow to let it work efficiently.
🔄 Filter Replacement:
Replace filters about every 6 months, or sooner if your air purifier or app indicates. Fresh filters ensure your purifier captures pollutants effectively and keeps your indoor air clean.
A little upkeep goes a long way! Clean your rice cookers, air fryers, grills, water dispensers, and air purifiers regularly, follow simple care tips, and you’ll enjoy appliances that perform better, last longer, and make everyday life easier — and tastier!
