Cleaning your microwave regularly can help maintain its performance and ensure it lasts longer. To clean the inside of your microwave, first, fill a microwave-safe bowl with water and a few tablespoons of vinegar. Place the bowl in the microwave and heat it on high for 5 minutes. The steam created will help loosen any stuck-on food particles. After the time is up, carefully remove the bowl (as it will be hot) and wipe down the inside of the microwave with a damp cloth or sponge. For the exterior of the microwave, use a gentle cleaner and a microfiber cloth to wipe away any smudges or spills. Remember to clean the turntable and roller ring as well by removing them and washing them in warm, soapy water. By following these simple steps, you can keep your microwave clean and in good working condition. It is recommended to clean your microwave at least once a month, or more often if it is used frequently. Regular maintenance will help prevent odors, keep your food tasting its best, and prolong the life of your appliance.
