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.
