It is always a great idea to wipe down microwaves after each use since these units are well known for causing food to splatter. But, we all live busy lives, and cleaning kitchen appliances is not always top on our list of things to do. Unfortunately, putting off this chore too long means that the microwave walls and door are eventually crusted with stuck-on food and stains. There is extensive information available on how to cook food in the microwave oven, but what about microwave cleaning? We put together some useful DIY tips to help you get your oven sparkling clean using inexpensive and basic cleaners.
We show you how to perform routine microwave cleaning and ways to remove spills and baked-on food from the oven’s inside walls, door, glass, and turntable, and that nasty burned smell from the inside of the oven using a variety of cleaning solutions. White vinegar, baking soda, and lemon juice make cleaning simple with their natural ability to dissolve greasy food and stains and disinfect surfaces, and citrus fruits and vanilla extract work wonders at eliminating foul odors.
