How to Clean a Microwave Oven, The Easy Way

June 2nd, 2009 · No Comments


Cleaning a microwave oven is very easy, IF you know the right technique, and IF you do it relatively regularly.

If you’ve never, ever cleaned it, (you know who you are!) then you may have to put a little bit more elbow grease in it, just like anything!

Try to clean up spills as they occur, especially if they make it to the door. Put a microwave-safe dish half-filled with water in the microwave, and set it for 3-4 minutes at maximum power.

The steam will loosen up any bits and traces of food that have stuck to the inside of the microwave; they can be safely scooped up with nothing more than a damp paper towel!

To get rid of the sometimes nasty odor that can exist in your microwave, wash the insides with a solution of warm water and baking soda. Never use any abrasive soap – such as anything containing ammonia – or abrasive cleaning pads.
