You're in luck if your microwave has a steam cleaning function. This is the easiest way to clean a microwave that has not yet been "greased". Under the influence of steam, grease and dirt will get wet, they can be easily removed with a napkin.
If there is no such function, then do the same, only manually. You will need a bowl filled with water.
- Place it in the chamber and turn on the stove at maximum power.
- The evaporated water softens the dirt. All that remains is to wipe the camera with a damp cloth or sponge.
Method 2: how to clean the microwave with soapy water
If you have "started up" your microwave oven, you will not do with one steam. You will have to wash the microwave with dishwashing detergent.
- Dissolve a few drops of detergent in water and place in the chamber.
- Preheat the stove to bring the liquid to a boil.
- The soapy sauna will soften the dirt. You can easily clean them with a damp cloth, even in hard-to-reach places.
Method 3: how to clean the microwave with baking soda
Soda gruel will clean the microwave well without chemicals and remove the musty smell.
- Dampen a napkin in it, rub the walls of the chamber and the door. Then wash it off.
- Option two: add a few tablespoons of baking soda to a bowl of soapy water and steam the camera. The baking soda mixture absorbs unpleasant odors. The remains of burnt food and old fat will easily "go away".
Method 4: how to clean the microwave with vinegar or citric acid
It is necessary to pour water into a deep plate (about a glass) and dissolve a tablespoon of citric acid in it. Now we put the plate in the microwave and turn it on at full power for two to three minutes so that the liquid boils and begins to evaporate. After that, you just need to wipe the walls with a damp sponge.
Stains in the microwave oven are sometimes impossible to wipe off with a regular sponge. So if you have vinegar, baking soda, citric acid, or regular lemon in your home, cleaning your stove shouldn't be too difficult. Find a wide bowl that fits in the microwave and pour 3/4 of the water.
Apple cider vinegar or wine vinegar, as well as citric acid, are excellent disinfectants and neutralize aromas, including the smell of burning.
- Wipe the door and walls of the chamber with a solution of acidified water in the ratio of 0.5 liters to 50 grams of vinegar.
- Alternatively, combine both ingredients in a bowl and steam the chamber at maximum power for 5-10 minutes.
- Then wipe the stove with a damp sponge.
Method 5: how to clean the microwave with orange peels or lemon
Don't throw away the peels of oranges, tangerines, lemons, and limes. Citrus peels have antibacterial properties and are excellent disinfectants.
The high citric acid content kills bacteria and mold, and also removes soap stains and mineral deposits. The steamed fragrant peel will refresh not only the oven, but the entire kitchen in 5 minutes.
- Place the crusts in a bowl of water. Fill the container no more than halfway. Then the contents do not splatter after boiling.
- Preheat the oven for a maximum of 5 minutes and turn it off.
- Let the essential oils "work" for another half hour with the door closed. They soften grease, but do not emulsify it like soap.
- Wipe down the chamber and enjoy the citrus scent.
