How to clean a microwave at home in 5 minutes

It is difficult to imagine a modern kitchen that is not equipped with a microwave oven, for the last few years this functional device has been seenfacilitates the process of heating up and even cooking. However, as the product is used, its interior surface becomes rapidly contaminated, so every housewife should know how to clean the device and not shorten the life of the device. Fortunately, the help of professionals in this matter is not needed. If desired, even at home, you can quickly and safely clean all the dirt inside the oven, using specialized tools or improvised appliances. In most cases, cleaning does not take more than five minutes.

Basic rules for the care of the microwave

First of all, you need to remember a number of nuances in using a convenient device, then there will be no problems with cleaning it:

1. Clearing the walls of frozen fat and stains is not so easy, therefore, device manufacturers recommend wiping all surfaces inside the oven after eachits use. It only takes a couple of minutes, but the frequency of more careful manipulation will decrease at times;
2. Before operation, the appliance must be disconnected from the power supply by removing the plug from the socket. Again, you can connect it only after it has completely dried up;
3. Despite the apparent efficiency, it is not necessary to use a treatment method based on the use of metal wool, dense brushes and chemicals with abrasives. They allow not to clean the walls, but to damage them;
4. Surface cleaning should be carried out with a minimum amount of liquid, otherwise there is a risk of damage to important elements;
5. Do not use harsh chemicals to clean the oven outside or inside. This threatens to change the quality of food and frequent damage to the product;
6. In cases where the pollution is so abundant that it penetrated the furnace skin, it is not recommended to disassemble the device yourself, it is better to contact the professionals.

Tip: As early as purchasing a microwave oven, you need to ask the seller how to clean it and how to contact the manufacturer for help. Often, the life of high-quality products is significantly reduced due to non-compliance with the conditions of care.

Features of cleaning the device with household chemicals

If the inner surface of the microwave oven needs to be cleaned in a few minutes, you can use specialized tools. The optimal option will be the composition in the form of a spray. It is convenient and effective, allows cleaning surfaces in a few simple steps:

• Preliminary surface treatment is not needed. Just take the spray and spray it inside the oven, covering the walls and bottom of the device. Leave the product for a few minutes to act on its active ingredients;
• Next, take a clean damp cloth or a soft sponge and try to wash it all the frozen dirt. Then wipe the surface with a clean dry cloth, evaluate the quality of work and, if necessary, repeat our actions;
• Using this method, it is necessary to pay special attention to the process of selecting a tool. For the treatment of ovens at home, it is not recommended to use products designed for ovens( these are located in the kitchens of restaurants).Such cleaning will seem too aggressive and can damage the quality of the surface.

Before using ready-made products, you must read the instructions carefully. Many gels and sprays can be applied only to certain elements of the microwave.

Fast and efficient cleaning by steam and improvised means - rules of manipulation

Quickly and qualitatively clean the microwave surface from burning, fat, get rid of an unpleasant odor and at the same time do not damage the skin material and functional elements with soda, steam, laundry soap, citrus, vinegar or citric acid.

The most pleasant and effective is the method with fresh citrus and steam. It allows not only to split fat droplets, facilitating the process of mechanical surface cleaning, but also to aromatize the air inside the device. We take a choice of lemon, orange, a couple of tangerines or limes, grapefruit and cut into small pieces. We put them in a deep plate, pour a glass of water. Put the plate in the oven, turn on the device and "prepare" the composition at maximum power for at least five minutes. Then wait a little more, letting the product infuse, turn off the oven from the mains and start cleaning the device. To do this, we use a dense sponge, which we process the frozen fat, and a soft cloth to dry the surface. The same method guarantees high efficiency if citrus replace with citric acid or fruit crusts.

Vinegar can wash the most resistant fat formations and stains of burnt, but after it inside for a while there will be a persistent specific smell of the product. This method is recommended to be used as a last resort and only if it is well stretched in the kitchen.

You can wash the microwave and ordinary baking soda. To prepare a solution, a tablespoon of soda is brewed in a glass of water, we pour it into a plate and put it into the oven. The device should work at maximum power for at least twenty minutes. Then we try to wash the walls with a damp cloth.

The fastest and most affordable at home is the way in which the laundry soap lies. It is necessary to take a bar of the economic product( do not be afraid of its sharp smell), grate it on a grater, pour warm water and foaming. To enhance the effect, it is recommended to dilute the foam with baking soda. This means you can wash even stubborn dirt inside and outside the oven. Cleaning will not take more than five minutes. Only it is necessary to take into account one nuance - soap should be thoroughly washed from all surfaces, otherwise after switching on the device there will be a specific smell of organic fumes.

Ideally, the cleaning of the functional device should be carried out at least once a week, then it will take no more than five minutes. But even if the dirt so strongly attached to the walls that you want to clean it with a knife, do not give in to the impulse, it is better to consistently apply all of the listed techniques.
