Hi Delilah, here's a lovely article with lots of pictures that will show you how to clean your microwave - https://www.onegoodthingbyjillee.com/2-ways-to-clean-your-microwave/
Hi Delilah - There are a few different methods. I like filling up a 4 cup glass measuring cup with water and a few drops of lemon juice. Microwave for 4-5 minutes, BE CAREFUL when removing, and then wipe everything down. Easy peezy! Hope this helps! Hugs, Holly

Hi Delilah, I have a similar method to Holly. I use a bowl and fill it with a few drops of dish soap and vinegar. I microwave for about 3-4 minutes and it will be boiling when it comes out. I use thick rubber gloves(dishwashing kind) and a sponge so I don't burn myself but I wipe down the microwave and continue dipping into that hot boiled mixture. The microwave and all the baked on food will already be easier to wipe down but when you actually use the hot mixture, there is no scrubbing. It makes it really easy! Just be careful you don't burn yourself.
All you need to do is heat water in a microwave safe cup or bowl, nothing else. Let it come to a boil and keep the door shut, let it set 15 min to 1/2 hour. Open the door, remove the water. The steam has done the work, just wipe it out.

Easiest Way to Clean a Microwave!
If you cover your dishes with a silicone mat or a wet paper towel you won't have any cleanup. Also when something does splash, wipe it down immediately instead of letting it dry on the walls. Much easier to wipe when fresh.
1 cup vinegar
1 cup water
Wooden spoon
You can add a couple of drops of lemon essential oils if the vinegar scent is too strong.
Please in a microwave safe bowl. Spoon is to prevent overheating. Turn on for 5 minutes. Sit for 2 minutes. Remove with mitt. Wipe clean.

Hello. Here are some microwave cleaning tips. Hope this helps
Delilah....A cup or bowel (microwave safe of course) with water for a couple of minutes. Leave it to cool...the steam will be in the microwave. Safely remove cut when cooled and wipe. Should do the trick. Microwaves are different so decide how long to time it with yours.
