"Hi! I'm Jennifer Cail and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you how to clean your microwave from the inside out. Our final step is going to be going our microwave one last time to make sure we've gotten every last bit, and also to make sure that it's dry. This is where the micro fiber cloth will come great in handy. We want to make sure before we close up our microwave that everything is nice and dry. A micro fiber cloth is great at absorbing water and getting all that last little bit off there. We're just going to go over the microwave with the cloth. With the inside nice and dry, we can go to the outside. You can take that micro fiber cloth again and just go everything keeping it nice and streak free. Remember, for keeping your microwave nice and clean, you want to make sure foods are properly covered. You also want to make sure that if you're heating up something liquid like soup or hot chocolate, you've got a saucer underneath that in case it boils over. Just be mindful of how your food is in its container will help prevent some spill overs and just over all keep the microwave a little bit cleaner so that you don't have to do a nice big cleaning again for a while.
