The first thing to do is to prepare the tools and or equipments necessary to clean the microwave.

Spray the Cleaning Mixture<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing is to spray the cleaning mixture that can consist of a mixture of equal parts water and vinegar with a little bit cleaning solution\/light dish soap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vinegar is a natural disinfectant that effectively breaks down grime and helps eliminate odors, while the dish soap provides additional cleaning power to tackle any stubborn stains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To create the cleaning solution, simply combine the ingredients in a spray bottle, shaking gently to mix them thoroughly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your cleaning mixture is ready, spray it generously onto the surfaces that need attention, ensuring you cover areas with visible dirt, stains, or buildup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Fill_the_Bowl_With_Water_and_Vinegar_Mixture\"><\/span>3. Fill the Bowl With Water and Vinegar Mixture<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fill a microwave-safe bowl with two cups of water and two tablespoons of vinegar.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also add a drop or two of essential oil to give it a refreshing scent, creating a relaxing aromatherapy atmosphere.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have vinegar, don&#8217;t worry! You can replace it with fresh lemon juice, which is also effective in cleansing and providing a fresh scent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once all the ingredients are mixed, place the bowl in the microwave and heat it for about 5-10 minutes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Close_the_Lid_and_Wait_for_10-15_Minutes\"><\/span>4.

You can put it inside the bowl to prevent the water from rapidly boiling and splattered all around your microwave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The steam generated from the mixture will help loosen the dirt and stains inside the microwave, making it easier to clean.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the wait time is over, you can remove the bowl and turntable and use the potholder or oven mitts to protect your hands, carefully remove the bowl from the microwave and set aside for some time. Also remove the turntable tray so you can wash it in the sink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>Also Read: &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/how-to-clean-microwave-filter-come-on-in-and-get-the-answers\/\">How to Clean Microwave Filter?

However, if you find stubborn stains or hard-to-reach crevices, you can use a scratch-resistant scrubbing tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will help remove the dirt without damaging the surface of the microwave. Make sure to scrub gently to avoid leaving scratches.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once done, wipe it again with a clean cloth to remove the remaining vinegar and dirt, so that your microwave is ready to use with maximum results.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Clean_the_Turntable\"><\/span>6. Clean the Turntable<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cleaning the turntable of your microwave is quite straightforward. Just use dish soap, hot water, and a sponge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mix a small amount of soap into the hot water, then use the sponge to gently clean the turntable. Make sure to scrub the bottom and edges to remove any food residue or stains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you&#8217;re done cleaning, rinse the sponge with clean water and wipe the turntable to remove any soap residue. Dry the turntable with a clean towel so that no water remains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Dont_Forget_the_Exterior\"><\/span>7.
