Cleaning Tips on Microwave

In the late 60s, the microwave oven made its inaugural debut. Since then, it has become just another appliance sold in Broadview, MT. Everyday use is bound to give off a smoke smell every now and then, and for those of you who have an addiction to popcorn, the burning and the smell that comes with it is an inevitability. The question you may have now is what’s the best way to get rid of the odor. The following cleaning tips will help to minimize unwanted aromas.

1. Clean the Grill

Greasy buildup can start to stink after awhile. To clean the vent grill, use soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge. Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads or steel wool. For some, using a dishwasher may be an easier route to take. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for information. At some point, the vent grill will need to be replaced.

2. Give the Microwave a Good Cleaning

Not regularly cleaning the microwave can introduce a smoke smell you’d rather not inhale. If you haven’t wiped it out in some time, get out the dishcloth and start scrubbing. The easiest way to accomplish this is to put a bowl of vinegar in the oven and heat it. The steam will loosen the crusted over food particles making cleanup simple.

3. Wipe It Out

Once the hard part of scouring is over, don’t let the food leftovers build up again. Clean the oven out after every use. All it takes is a dishcloth and soap. Don’t forget to take out the turntable and wipe out the area underneath.
Ensure the microwave oven is cleaned daily so no lingering smoke smell is noticeable. The little bit of elbow grease needed to keep an oven spotless might mean not having to replace parts so soon. A smoke assessment professional can speak with you concerning the best way to keep your microwave in top condition.
