How to clean the microwave with soap – simple and natural

Cleaning the microwave does not have to involve harsh chemicals. With fat-based soap and a few simple steps, you can get a sparkling clean microwave in an eco-friendly way! 


 

What type of dirt is in the microwave?

It is usually 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, fat-based 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, yet 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 invested time and energy in growing it. Make a delicious juice with it instead.


Vinegar is also recommended and is good, but it is acidic and is best suited for polishing the microwave glass. Fat-based soap for greasy dirt!
