Baking soda in the microwave

The microwave oven is a widely used tool in the kitchen. This is very useful when you need to reheat a dish quickly. The advantage lies in its speed, in fact this appliance, unlike the conventional oven, takes much less time to heat dishes.

But at the same time, it’s very easy to get dirty. Oil and grease released from food stick to the sides and crumbs can also settle to the bottom. Over time, these can lead to quite unpleasant odors and it is for this reason that a method must be found to solve the problem.

Clean the microwave oven to remove bad odors

As we said, let’s see how to clean the microwave oven and remove bad odors inside. We will do this by using only natural products and avoiding commercial products that usually contain chemicals. You’ll almost certainly have all the ingredients we’ll use at home.

You’ll need 1 tablespoon of fine salt, 1 tablespoon of baking soda, and 1 tablespoon of Marseille soap (or yellow soap). Those who usually use natural cleaning products know that they are allies against dirt and incrustations, but also to neutralize bad odors.

Natural Products

Pour the ingredients just listed into a bowl. Now add the water little by little, until you get a gelatinous consistency. First clean the oven of the crumbs present and then use a sponge to wipe the mixture you have obtained from all sides of the appliance.

Leave it on for a few minutes and then remove it with a microfiber cloth. Rinse and make sure not to leave any detergent residue behind. With this method, grease stains and scale disappear. Even bad smells, but sometimes these can persist.

In the latter case, we have another very quick solution. Take a container that will fit in the unit and fill it with water and white vinegar, about a cup.

This way, your microwave will look spotless, but remember to always unplug it when cleaning it manually. This step is very important and don’t forget it at all. All you have to do now is try this method on your device to make it practically as good as new.
