How to clean a microwave with white vinegar

Microwave ovens can be cleaned with white vinegar, which can effectively dissolve oil stains and sterilize and disinfect. Stubborn stains on the inner wall of the microwave can be softened with white vinegar steam and wiped off. Food residues and odors can also be removed with a white vinegar aqueous solution. After long-term use, the inner wall of a microwave oven is prone to accumulate oil stains and food splashes, and the acetic acid in white vinegar can undergo saponification reaction with oil. Mix white vinegar and water in a 1:1 ratio and place them in a microwaveable container. Heat on high heat for three to five minutes to make the solution boil and produce steam. Let it stand for ten minutes to allow the steam to fully soften the dirt. Finally, wipe it with a damp cloth. Pay attention to keeping the container open during heating to avoid excessive pressure, and turn off the power when wiping to ensure safety. If there are stubborn burnt marks on the microwave, spray white vinegar directly on the stain and let it stand for five minutes, then gently scrape it off with a soft bristled brush. For areas such as rubber seals that are prone to dirt and grime accumulation, use a cotton swab dipped in white vinegar solution for detailed cleaning. After cleaning, it is necessary to wipe it with clean water twice to avoid residual acetic acid. The metal liner model should not use excessive white vinegar to prevent corrosion.

Timely wiping with a damp cloth after daily use of the microwave can reduce the accumulation of stains, and deep cleaning with white vinegar once a month can maintain hygiene. Avoid using hard cleaning tools such as steel wire balls. After cleaning, wait for the inner wall to completely dry before using electricity. If mold or difficult to remove chemical stains are found, it is recommended to contact professional after-sales service for handling.
