The microwave oven, handy for heating our favorite dishes in just a few minutes, is also very easily subject to food projections. So that it doesn’t become a household chore, follow our tips for cleaning your microwave easily and naturally.
Today often more in demand than a traditional oven, the microwave oven deserves regular maintenance. No need for a specific cleaning product, there are 100% natural solutions for healthy and easy cleaning in a minimum of time. Discover our tips to clean your microwave in a snap and extend its life.
Prevention is better than cure !
The microwave has the advantage of quickly reheating all types of dishes but its cooking method favors projections on the walls. The first parade to avoid having to clean your appliance is to use a bell to cover your dish before launching the microwave. The projections will be contained inside the bell and it will be much easier to clean by hand with water and washing up liquid or in the washing machine.
The second tip is to systematically clean the walls of your device after each use. It takes a little rigor, but it is always easier to clean stains that are still fresh than those that have dried and become encrusted. A wipe of a damp sponge or cloth will suffice.
However, it may happen that some forgotten residues end up clogging the inside of your microwave or leaving unpleasant odors.
To go further, we have miracle solutions for the maintenance of your microwave!

The unstoppable solution for deep cleaning your microwave oven is washing with White vinegar.
It could not be easier ! Pour 2 tablespoons of white vinegar into a bowl of water. Place the bowl in the microwave and heat for 5 minutes at maximum power. Wait a few moments before opening your microwave so that the vapors of the white vinegar can act on the walls. Thanks to the disinfectant and degreasing effects of white vinegar, its vapor will take off the encrustations. All you have to do is use a sponge to remove the residue.

Another tip for cleaning your microwave is to heat a piece of lemon in a bowl of water for a few minutes. Its acidic properties will both purify the inside of your microwave but also leave it with a fresh and tangy smell. Then simply rinse with water with a sponge.
To clean and deodorize the inside of your microwave, you can also use baking soda. To do this, rub the inside of your machine with a damp sponge and a small amount of baking soda.

Remember to clean the outside of the microwave
The exterior of your microwave isn’t immune to a few kitchen spills, dust, or even signs of the weather. If it is white, it may also tend to turn yellow.
To maintain the exterior, nothing could be simpler! Use a microfiber cloth regularly to remove dust. To go further, you can either use white vinegar or clay stone. The latter has the advantage of restoring shine to the white and to the joints. It will also be very useful for cleaning the glass of your oven.
