Cleaning a microwave is one of those tasks that you have to do, but necessarily don’t want to. I’ve had a very bad experience with a microwave some time back. I had left a utensil with food inside the microwave and within 3 days, it had some kind of growth on it and the whole microwave was stinking. Even after cleaning the whole microwave over and over again, the smell didn’t go away. Today, let’s take a look at some innovative methods on how to clean your microwave with Angry Mama. We will also compare it with the traditional approach of cleaning a microwave and why this is so much better.

How to clean your Microwave: The Traditional Way

There are several traditional methods on how to clean your microwave. The most famous one has to be using vinegar. But before you start cleaning your microwave, please ensure that the power cord is unplugged. If there are any removable parts inside the microwave that you can remove, please remove them and clean them separately.

Using Vinegar and Baking Soda

Fill a microwaveable tray with water and tablespoon of vinegar and microwave it for about 3-5 minutes. Once the steam has hit all parts of the oven, go ahead and clean it with a piece of sponge or cloth. Another option to clean your microwave is to use baking soda and water. Mix both of these to form a coarse paste and then apply it all over the microwave wherever you want to clean. Let it sit for some time and then repeat the procedure of wiping it off with a piece of wet cloth or sponge.

We’ve seen water and vinegar and water and baking soda. There’s also an option to clean using vinegar and baking soda. Mix both of them and apply it inside the microwave. Similar, to what you saw in method 1, mix water and vinegar and place it on a microwaveable tray and microwave it for 5 minutes. Once the steam covers the insides of the microwave, clean it using a piece of cloth/sponge.

Using Commercial Cleaning Solutions and Soap

There are three more methods that are commonly used to clean microwaves. One is to use lemon juice. Cut a lemon and place it face down on a microwaveable plate with a bit of water. Heat it until the inside is steamy and you can use paper towels to wipe the insides of the microwave clean.

Another option is to use a commercial cleaning solution that is meant to be used as a microwave cleaner. The one big advantage of using these solutions is that they don’t smell bad. Using vinegar and baking soda can leave a bad odor which can get frustrating for some people. But the disadvantage is that it might be hard on your skin and the fumes from these commercial cleaning solutions might not be that safe for your body.

Yet another option is to use dishwashing soap. This will also leave a pleasant odor inside the microwave and can be done exactly like how we did it using vinegar and baking soda. Mix some amount of dishwashing soap along with water and place it inside the microwave. Heat it until the inside is steaming and then wipe off all the dirt using a piece of sponge or paper towels.

We’ve gone through most of the traditional methods of cleaning your microwave. If these are not impressive enough, be sure to check out the more innovative approach of using dolls and gadgets to steam clean your microwave.
