How to Clean a Microwave: An Important Preliminary Step

If you try to remove grease from the walls of the microwave right away, you will most likely fail.

To avoid wasting a lot of time and effort, the dirt must first be softened.

And it’s very easy to do: you need to place a glass container filled with water into the device.

You need to add a little vinegar (2 tsp) to the liquid or throw in a couple of lemon slices.

The resulting solution must be heated in a microwave oven for five minutes.

Next, you need to wait about half an hour. After that, you can start wiping the inner walls of the device with a simple sponge: you do not need to use cleaning powders or gels.

The softened dirt will be removed without problems. In addition, there will be no unpleasant odors left.
