Cleaning inside of a microwave is a matter of 5 minutes if you know the proper way to clean it. Never use any detergent or dishwashing gel or any chemical to clean the inside. Vinegar or lemon juice along with one bowl of water is enough for cleaning the inside. We will discuss three procedures here.

Let's discuss it step by step

Procedure 1

Cleaning with vinegar

Elements we will use:

  1. Vinegar (Synthetic or Apple cider)
  2. A clean bowl.
  3. Water.
  4. Spoon 
  5. A towel or kitchen tissue or a fresh piece of cotton cloth.

Cleaning with lemon follows the same procedure we have used to clean with vinegar. The only difference here is we are going to use lemon instead of vinegar.

Take a lemon and cut it in a half. Then put both pieces in the bowl. Pout it with water and follow the other spets.

how to clean the outside of a microwave?

Cleaning the outside of a microwave oven is not a hard job as cleaning the inside. Here you should use mild soap or detergent water. Wipe the whole exterior with a clean cloth and rinse it carefully until it shines.

To clean the front glass use a glass cleaner. Do not spray the glass cleaner directly to the surface of the oven. Spray it on the towel then use it to rinse.
