Your Ultimate Guide to Microwave Cleaning

Step 1: Unplug and Remove Loose Debris

Safety first! Unplug your microwave to avoid any electrical mishaps. Then, take out the turntable and any other removable parts. Shake out any loose crumbs or debris over a trash bin.

Step 2: Create a Vinegar Steam

Fill a microwave-safe bowl with equal parts of water and vinegar. Place it in the microwave and heat it up for 5 minutes. The steam from this mixture will help loosen any stubborn grime or food particles.

Step 3: Let the Microwave Cool Down

After the timer goes off, don't open the microwave immediately. Let it sit for a few minutes to allow the steam to do its job. This also ensures the microwave is safe to touch.

Step 4: Wipe Down the Interior

Open the microwave and carefully remove the bowl (it may be hot!). Using a sponge or cloth, wipe down the interior. The grime should come off easily thanks to the vinegar steam.

Step 5: Dry the Microwave

Once you've cleaned all the surfaces, dry the microwave thoroughly with a dry cloth. Make sure there's no moisture left behind as it could lead to mold growth.
