remove the crumbs
We start first by passing a damp cloth inside the oven to remove crumbs and superficial stains.
Take care of stubborn stains and bad odors
To get rid of stains stuck inside the oven as well as bad smells, there is nothing better than lemon or vinegar. In a microwave-safe bowl, pour about a cup of water and 1/4 cup of lemon juice or vinegar. Heat the mixture for about 3 minutes at maximum power. Under the effect of heat, the steam will soften the residue in addition to removing bad odors. All that remains is to pass a damp cloth or sponge to finish the job.
If the microwave is really dirty, you can also use a washing-up brush to thoroughly clean the corners and crevices inside the oven. In any case, avoid using sponges or abrasive products so as not to damage the appliance.
Clean the turntable
Remove the turntable from the microwave and wash it like a dish with soapy water. The tray can also go in the dishwasher.
outside
Once the inside of the oven has been cleaned, it’s time to tackle the outside to remove fingerprints and dust using a cloth and a little soapy water. If your microwave has a stainless steel exterior, you can also use a stainless steel product to clean and polish it in one step.
Finish by cleaning the oven door and glass with a cloth soaked in soapy water. If stains are more stubborn on the glass, you can also use a glass cleaner. Remember to pay special attention around the door to prevent food particles from accumulating there.
Daily
Simple gestures can also help us keep a microwave clean and make it easier to maintain. A good way to avoid messes is, among other things, to use a microwave splatter cover when heating food.
