Easily Clean Your Microwave

Fill a microwave safe bowl with water and place it in your microwave.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • microwave safe bowl
  • water
  • cloth or paper towel
  • dirty microwave
  1. Step 1

    Set your microwave on high for three minutes. This will boil the water and the steam will loosen all the grime on the inside of the microwave.

  2. Step 2

    When it is done very CAREFULLY remove the bowl of water. I would suggest wearing oven mitts in case you spill any water.

  3. Step 3

    You should now be able to easily wipe down the inside of the microwave with a cloth or paper towel. If it is not coming clean easily you may need to put the water back in for a few minute, it all depends on the microwave and just how dirty it is.

  4. Step 4

    Don’t forget to wipe the top of the microwave too. If your microwave has a revolving plate that can be removed just stick that in the dishwasher.

  5. Step 5

    Don’t forget to wipe the top of the microwave too. If your microwave has a revolving plate that can be removed just stick that in the dishwasher.

  6. Step 6

    Do this once a week to keep your microwave sparkling clean.
