How to quickly clean a microwave oven from grease without using chemicals: 3 life hacks

Even if you keep your kitchen clean, dirt and grease still accumulate over time on the surfaces of various appliances, including your microwave. However, few people know how to clean it well and quickly. SSPDaily has prepared a selection of several simple cleaning methods that will help you easily cope with this task.

Vinegar and water solution

First, take a microwave-safe bowl and pour equal parts of white vinegar and water into it. Put the container in the microwave and set the cooking time to 5 minutes on high power. As the mixture evaporates, the steam will remove dirt and stains from the interior surfaces.

After five minutes, carefully remove the bowl (use mittens) and wipe off the softened dirt with a clean cloth or sponge. This method will not only clean your appliances, but also eliminate unpleasant odors.

Lemon juice and baking soda

Cut a lemon in half and squeeze the juice into a bowl filled with water. Then add a tablespoon of baking soda. Put the bowl in the microwave and cook on high for three minutes. The lemon steam will help dissolve the stains, and the baking soda acts as a mild abrasive to remove stubborn dirt. Afterwards, carefully remove the bowl and wipe the inside with a damp cloth to reveal a fresh and clean microwave.

Steam cleaning with a damp cloth

Take a clean cloth or dish sponge and moisten it with water. Fold the cloth and place it in the microwave on the turntable. Make sure that the air vents are not blocked.

Turn on the microwave and set the cooking time to 2 minutes at high power. The steam generated by the wet wipe will soften the dirt so that it can be easily wiped off later.
