Regular use of the microwave oven inevitably leads to the formation of greasy stains on the internal surfaces.
Proven cleaning methods that do not require much time or special means will help you cope with this problem.
Lemon freshness
Using lemon juice is considered one of the most effective cleaning methods.
A glass of water with the juice of half a lemon is heated in a microwave oven for 5 minutes. The resulting steam softens the stains, which are easily removed with a damp cloth.
The Power of Vinegar
Table vinegar has proven itself as a reliable means of fighting fat. A solution of equal parts water and vinegar is heated until steam appears.
Vinegar vapors dissolve fatty deposits, after which the surfaces are wiped with a soft sponge.
Soda method
Baking soda is an excellent abrasive for removing stubborn stains. Dip a damp sponge in the soda and gently scrub the surfaces.
A baking soda paste made from baking soda and water will help deal with particularly difficult stains.
Soap solution
Dishwashing liquid is great for removing greasy stains. Spray warm soapy water on the microwave walls, leave for a few minutes, then wipe with a clean cloth. This method is especially effective when used regularly.
Combined approach
A combination of several methods allows you to achieve maximum results.
After steam treatment, use a soap solution, and for final cleaning, use soda paste. It is important to thoroughly remove any remaining cleaning agents with a damp cloth.
Preventive measures
Using a special lid for heating food will help prevent heavy contamination.
Quick cleaning of the walls after each use prevents the formation of persistent fatty deposits. Regular wiping with a damp cloth makes the process of general cleaning much easier.
Important recommendations
Before cleaning, unplug the microwave oven. Wash the plate and roller ring separately in warm soapy water.
Aggressive cleaning agents may damage the coating and should be avoided. The use of metal sponges is strictly prohibited.
Hard to reach places
Pay special attention to cleaning corners and joints. Cotton swabs soaked in a cleaning solution will help you get to the most inaccessible places. Clean the ventilation holes with a soft brush or a hair dryer in blowing mode.
Air freshening
Unpleasant odors are eliminated with the help of aromatic oils. A few drops of lemon or orange essential oil are added to the water before steam treatment.
Natural fragrances not only freshen the air, but also have antibacterial properties.
For reference
A microwave oven is an electrical appliance that allows heating of water-containing substances using electromagnetic radiation in the decimeter range and is intended for quick cooking, heating or defrosting of food.
