Cleaning Microwaves and Ovens
A microwave oven will function better when
clean. Regular (once a week) cleaning is a good idea.
As usual prevention is the best strategy.
Never allow anything to burn as it will coat the inside with a horrid,
smelly coating that is the very devil to remove.
It is also possible to buy up-market models
that are self-cleaning. The lining has properties that catalyse or
pyrolyse the dirt.
Cleaning Microwave.
To get the stains off the inside of a microwave, put a slice of lemon
in a bowl of water in the microwave for five minutes. it wipes off
really easy and smells nice! -- Ben Higham.
Very badly stained or smelly microwaves can
be cleaned by attaching bleach soaked cloths or kitchen towels to the
stained surface. You can also use a nylon scrubber or eraser pad
(Scotch-Brite Pad or JML Magic Eraser Pad) with a mild detergent. If
using a spray avoid spraying on and into the perforated area.
If you used the boiling lemon or vinegar
method then reuse the liquid along with a few drops of detergent on a
cloth or pad.
Deodorising- Boil some
water containing some vanilla flavoring, real or synthetic, allow it to
remain overnight. You can also disguise the smell by boiling coffee
grounds. These methods can help somewhat but I prefer wiping in baking
soda paste (not baking powder) leaving for some time then wiping off --

Ammonia Fumes Help Oven Cleaning:
Leave a small dish with some
ammonia in your oven for 24 hours and the caked on grease will be much
easier to remove -- Davina Martin.
