Cleaning a microwave is a straightforward process. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get your microwave looking and smelling fresh:

Materials needed to clean your microwave:

• Microwave-safe bowl or measuring cup

• Water

• White vinegar or lemon juice

• Dish soap or mild cleaning solution

• Soft cloth or sponge

• Microwave-safe plate or microwave cover

• Step-by-step process:

1.0 Prepare a cleaning solution:

• Fill a microwave-safe bowl or measuring cup with equal parts water and white vinegar or lemon juice. You can also add a few drops of dish soap or use a mild cleaning solution if you prefer.

2. Microwave the cleaning solution:

• Place the bowl or cup with the cleaning solution inside the microwave.

• Set the microwave on high power for 3-5 minutes, or until the solution comes to a boil. This will create steam inside the microwave, helping to loosen and soften any dried-on food or stains.

3 Let it sit:

• After microwaving, leave the door closed for a few minutes to allow the steam to work its magic.

4. Wipe down the interior:

• Open the microwave door carefully and use a soft cloth or sponge to wipe down the interior surfaces.

• Pay special attention to any stubborn stains or spills and gently scrub them away.

• Clean the turntable and microwave plate:

• Remove the turntable and microwave plate (if applicable) and wash them with warm soapy water.

• Dry them thoroughly before placing them back in the microwave.

5. Clean the exterior:

• Use the same cleaning solution to wipe down the exterior surfaces of the microwave, including the control panel and handle.

• For stubborn stains or fingerprints, you can use a mixture of water and vinegar or a glass cleaner.

6. Deodorise the microwave:

• To eliminate any lingering odors, you can place a microwave-safe bowl with a mixture of water and lemon slices or a few drops of vanilla extract inside the microwave.

• Heat it on high power for 1-2 minutes to freshen up the microwave's interior.

7. Dry and finish:

• Use a clean, dry cloth to wipe away any moisture or cleaning solution residue from the interior and exterior surfaces.

• Plug the microwave back in and make sure it's functioning properly.

Cleaning your microwave regularly, ideally once a week, will help prevent stubborn stains and keep your appliance in top condition. This easy cleaning routine will ensure your microwave stays hygienic, and it will be ready to serve up delicious meals whenever you need it!
