How to Clean a Microwave Oven

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup white vinegar
  • splash of lemon juice (optional) for a pleasant scent

Preparation

Step 1

Place all water, vinegar, and lemon juice in a microwave safe dish; a 2-cup pyrex measuring cup works well.

Bring to a boil and let boil for about 2 minutes (about 7 minutes in total) to steam up the interior oven well. Allow to cool down for 2 minutes.

Wipe out the oven with a dishtowel, sponge, or microfiber cloth, using some of the still hot liquid on any stubborn spots.
