It often happens that you put a plate of food in the microwave oven and turn it on, forgetting to reduce the heating effect, and the dish gets scattered throughout the microwave oven. If you do not have enough time to clean it thoroughly and immediately after the “explosion”, the pieces of food will dry up and it will become difficult to scrub them. How can you clean the microwave oven?
1. Vinegar
In order to clean the microwave oven from fat, stains, or dried pieces of food, you need to dissolve a small amount of vinegar in a glass of water, and then put it in a microwave oven and turn it on for a few minutes. After the oven turns off, you remove the glass and easily wipe the dirt with a soft cloth.
2. Clean the microwave oven with lemon juice
In addition to vinegar, you can use lemon juice, and then the microwave oven will also smell nice.
3. Orange peel
Books on housework recommend using pieces of orange peel. Put crushed orange peel in a wide bowl, fill it with water and then heat it in a microwave oven.
