How to clean and maintain your Microwave?

A microwave is perhaps the most frequently used appliance in our kitchen. There are a number of benefits of using a microwave to prepare meals because of its speed, energy efficiency, and ease of use. But there is a drawback; food, dirt and grease build up over time whenever you heat anything in your microwave making it stained & greasy.

Not only that, It hardens and becomes much more difficult to clean if you don't do it soon after heating your food. In addition, if you don't clean it often, bacteria will start growing inside and start to make your kitchen foul smelling.

The good news is, cleaning your microwave doesn't have to be a complicated task! With a little effort, you can keep it hygienic, odor-free, efficient, and looking its best.

The following easy steps can be taken:

  • Clean the interior: To clean the inside, fill a microwave-safe bowl with water and add a couple of tablespoons of vinegar. For a few minutes, microwave on high until the mixture boils and steam forms inside. After allowing the mixture to cool for a few minutes, wipe the interior clean with a sponge or cloth.
  • Clean the turntable: Eliminate the turntable and clean it with warm,  soapy water or in the dishwasher assuming it's dishwasher safe. Wipe down the wheels and lower part of the microwave where the turntable sits.
  • Vacuum the vents: Utilize a delicate brush or toothbrush to clean the vents and eliminate any trash or food particles.
  • Keep up regularly: Wipe down the interior of your microwave after each use and clean the exterior once a week to keep it in good condition. To prevent buildup, keep the vents and turntable clean and clean up any spills or food debris as soon as possible.

If you want to keep your microwave running smoothly, it's important to clean it regularly. And if you're experiencing any functional issues with your microwave, don't worry! Book a service complaint with wevouch in just a few clicks and sit back & relax.
