What type of dirt is found in the microwave?

Usually, it is food that has splashed around inside the microwave during heating. Food is often greasy, and the grease is the most difficult thing to remove. According to the principle that like dissolves like, greasy soap is highly effective for cleaning the microwave. 

 

Can you clean the microwave without chemicals?

Yes! With soap, water, and a few simple steps, you can freshen up the microwave without harsh products. We recommend soap spray; it is easy and quick to use but tough on greasy dirt. 

Lemon is often recommended, and it is pleasant and smells good, but sour lemon does not do much for greasy dirt. We think you should eat the lemon instead—it is full of vitamins, and someone has spent time and energy growing it. Make a delicious juice from it instead.


Vinegar is also recommended, and it works well, but it is acidic and is best suited for polishing the microwave glass. Greasy soap for greasy dirt!
