1. Use wet paper towels
We’re starting with the easiest and cheapest hack on this list. You’ll need a couple of paper towels and water! This simple technique will make the hard stains and all the steam lift from the surfaces of the microwave. Curious about how it works?
Firstly, wet some paper towels. Start to place them inside the microwave and do your best to cover it entirely. Then press the start button on the highest level for 5 minutes tops.
If you don’t think these would work, try them out first! Just remember to wait for the paper towels to cool down before you remove them from the microwave.
2. Baking soda does miracles
This next microwave cleaning hack is often used if you wish to remove spills from the turntable. For this one, you only have to add some water to 1 or 2 tablespoons of baking soda.
Leave this solution on the microwave turntable for five minutes and wipe it out with a piece of cloth. For this particular cleaning method, we advise that you use a microfiber cloth to remove the baking soda effortlessly.
3. Baking soda and vinegar: a match made in heaven
For this cleaning method, you’ll need baking soda, vinegar, a tablespoon, and warm water! First, mix four tablespoons in a quart of warm water. You have to make sure the powder dissolves as it should and then use a (microfiber) cloth to wipe the inside of the microwave.
After this process, mix water and white vinegar in equal parts and leave it inside the microwave for about 3 to 4 minutes or until you see that the water is boiling.
Turn it off and let it rest for an extra 10 minutes. After, open the door and remove the bowl and the turntable. Wipe the inside of the microwave vigorously with the cloth and repeat this process until it’s sparkly clean!
4. Water and white vinegar, a simple yet effective mix
This tip is super simple, as well. You’ll need a bowl, some water, and white vinegar. First things first, fill a bowl – halfway- with water and add one tablespoon of white vinegar.
Put the bowl inside the microwave and turn it on high for at least five minutes. Then remove the bowl and clean the inside of the microwave with a normal paper towel. Note: You can also clean the turntable as you would clean a dish, put it inside the dishwasher!
