4) Baking soda
Baking soda is another powerful natural ingredient for cleaning microwave walls and removing stubborn stains. It is indeed a gentle abrasive, but effective for cleaning surfaces without scratching them . It also helps neutralize odors, leaving your microwave clean and fresh. How to do ? In a small bowl, mix baking soda with just enough water to form a thick paste. Apply this paste to dirty areas inside or outside the microwave. Focus on the most problematic areas. Leave the paste on for about 10 to 15 minutes to thoroughly remove dirt, then use a damp cloth or sponge to remove any white powder residue. Finish with a clean, damp cloth
5) Simply salt
If we always have the reflex to resort to bicarbonate, fine salt can also be used to clean all surfaces in the house , especially in a dirty microwave. In fact, it effortlessly cleans, stains, degreases and deodorizes your household appliance! To do this, simply dampen a cloth and sprinkle table salt on it. Use it to scrub the inside of the microwave. If necessary, you can repeat the application and leave for 2 or 3 hours before rubbing and rinsing to better degrease your very dirty microwave.
6) Essential oils, allies for cleaning AND disinfecting
Essential oils allow you to clean the microwave naturally . Opt here for essential oils known for their deodorizing and antibacterial properties such as
lemon, lavender, tea tree or eucalyptus essential oil. You can then put a few drops on your cloth or sponge soaked in another cleaning solution or in a bowl of water that you heat to let out a deodorizing and disinfecting vapor. If you choose this second option, let the steam work and scrub with a soft, lint-free cloth or sponge.
7) Oil, an amazing help to clean stains in the microwave
Against stains, especially grease, carrot or tomato sauce stains, oil can be your best joker. It allows you to remove very encrusted debris by softening it . To do this, simply soak a paper towel or cloth with the oil of your choice and rub the stubborn dirt. If necessary, leave it on for at least an hour before using absorbent paper again to remove everything. Finish with soapy water or another technique outlined here to complete the wash.
