A microwave is a great help and not only when you need to quickly heat something up. You can quickly cook vegetables for salads or defrost something in it.

But it is not protected from greasy deposits. It is difficult to clean dirt, and if you do not clean it, an unpleasant smell will soon settle inside the microwave.

We will tell you about the fastest way to clean your microwave and remove grease and other deposits, as well as unpleasant odors.

No expensive or dubious chemicals are required. All you need is water and 9% vinegar.

How to proceed

To clean a standard microwave, you will need to dissolve 2 tablespoons of vinegar in 0.4 liters of water.

Pour the solution into a ceramic or other suitable container and place it in the microwave.

Turn on the appliance to maximum power and start the timer for 10 minutes.

After the stove has finished working, you need to leave the solution inside for another 5-10 minutes.

Thanks to this, the deposits on the walls will steam out and will be easy to remove.

Finally, all that remains is to remove the melted fat and dirt with a dishwashing sponge.

If necessary, you can treat the chamber with soda.

After cleaning, leave the microwave open to help the vinegar smell dissipate faster – due to heating, it becomes pungent and not very pleasant.
