Proven ways to clean the microwave inside
It is difficult for us to imagine a modern kitchen without electrical appliances. Modern life is an eternal lack of time, and things like a microwave oven or a microwave oven make our life very easy. In it, we defrost food, quickly reheat food, cook pizza and so on. This makes our life much easier. And it's very disappointing if the stove breaks down from improper care. In particular, when we are too lazy to wash our assistant. Therefore, we decided to study in detail the question of how to wash the microwave inside.
In the beginning, let's define for ourselves how you can not wash the microwave oven inside. Most often, the inner surface of the microwave is ceramic, and ceramics, as you know, are afraid of metal washcloths and hard brushes. When washing the microwave inside, do not use abrasive products: washing powders, soda, Pemolux, Biolan, Chistin, Comet, and so on.
When washing the microwave oven at home, we will use exclusively liquid products and gentle methods.
The inner surface of the microwave is coated with a special substance that reflects microwaves. This layer is thin and easy to destroy with a metal washcloth or powder. The microwave will just fail.
The sponge should not be too wet, so as not to flood the elements of the device with water. If your microwave has a grill, then it is better not to wet the heating element, just gently wipe it with a damp sponge or cloth.
5 sure ways to clean your microwave
We will wash with a foam sponge for washing dishes, wipe with microfiber cloths, paper, and so on.
Before washing the microwave from the inside, disconnect it from the power supply - remove the plug from the socket.
A large number of household chemicals for cleaning microwaves at home, both imported and domestic, are produced. Usually these products are offered in the form of a spray, which is very convenient. It is preferable to use a spray, after which there are no small particles left. Also available in gel form. Method of application and composition are written on each package. In order to easily and quickly clean our microwave oven from the inside, we apply a spray or gel on the walls and bottom of the appliance. Leave for 5-10 minutes, then wash off the substance first with a damp and then with a dry cloth. Apply the agent carefully, try not to touch the gratings that cover the magnetron.
Method 2: laundry soap
Our grandmothers also knew about the wonderful properties of using laundry soap at home. When dealing with dried fat and food debris in the oven, a strong soapy solution is quite suitable for us. We rub the soap on a grater and stir the solution until the chips are completely dissolved in hot water. With a sponge dipped in soapy water, wipe the inside of the oven. Leave for 30 minutes to soften the fat, then wipe with a sponge and a napkin. We leave for another 10-20 minutes for airing, and only then we turn it on.
This method is good because we do not plug in the microwave and do not heat anything. Dirt and grease just get wet gradually. A method that does not harm the electrical appliance and in which harmful substances do not enter the food. Pour into a wide plate, put ½ sliced lemon with a peel or a pinch of citric acid there. Lemon can be replaced with lime, grapefruit.
Fill with boiling water. We close the door and leave this liquid in the microwave for 1.5-2 hours until the fat and food debris are completely softened.
Then, after 1.5-2 hours, open the door. We just have to wipe it first with a damp sponge, and then with a dry cloth inside the oven. Of course, it will take a lot of time, but the electrical appliance will last you longer. This is an option that has stood the test of time.
What do we need in order to quickly clean the oven at home? Any sponge for washing dishes (except metal), a drop of liquid detergent such as Fairy, Adj, Dosya, water. This is the easiest and cheapest way to clean your microwave. On a sponge dipped in water, squeeze out a drop of "Fairy", the size of a coin. Next, lather the product by squeezing the sponge a couple of times.
Open the oven door and put the sponge on the bottom. We close the door. Set the heating mode to MINIMUM, turn it on and wait 30 seconds. Make sure that the sponge does not start to melt.
After the call, open the stove and wipe it with a clean sponge without soap, inside. Wipe with a dry cloth. Leave the door open to dry completely.
Method 5: baking soda and vinegar
In order to wash the microwave from old fat at home, we need water, baking soda and 9% vinegar. We will wash the microwave oven with soda and vinegar. You need to take a container - a plate or a glass pan with water, pour 3 tablespoons of baking soda into it, add 3 tablespoons of 9% vinegar. Stir well (the liquid will sizzle), and put in the oven for 10 minutes. The heating mode should be maximum. 10 minutes have passed, turn off the oven from the mains and leave it closed for another 15 minutes. Alkaline vapors with soda will act on pollution and soften all fat. After 15 minutes, open the oven door and remove all fat first with a damp sponge and then with a napkin.
