How to Clean the Microwave

April 21, 2023

For the average Feel Good Meals customer, a microwave is a must-have. And if you’re a regular orderer, your microwave is probably being used at least a few times a day. Spring is our favorite time of year to clean, so we’re here to share some expert-tips on cleaning the microwave.

What you’ll need:

  1. Vinegar

  2. Water

  3. Microwave-safe bowl

  4. Essential oils (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Add two tablespoons of white vinegar and two cups of water in a microwave-safe bowl.

  2. Optional: Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil if you’re not a fan of the smell of vinegar.

  3. Microwave the bowl for about five minutes. If it boils over, don’t worry. The goal is to get it extra steamy in there.

  4. Wait about 10 minutes before you open the microwave. Be careful, as the bowl and contents may still be hot.

  5. Take out the glass plate and turntable from your microwave and wipe them down with a sponge or paper towel.

  6. Wipe down the interior with a sponge or paper towel. Be sure to not to get any liquid in the vents to avoid mechanical issues. If you still have stains in there, dip the sponge into the leftover solution and gently scrub it away.

  7. Lastly, put turntable and glass plate back in the microwave.
