How To Keep Your Microwave Odor Free

Last Updated on June 10, 2022 by Rupesh Patil

Since we heat all kinds of food in the microwave it is bound to have a strong odour if it is not cleaned once every 15 days, especially if you cook and heat non-vegetarian food regularly. Here’s how to get rid of the odour and clean your microwave from inside to keep it smelling good…

Step 1
The simplest way to clean a microwave is to spray some liquid soap water inside and thoroughly clean it with a cloth to ensure all food particles are removed. For stubborn stains, spray the liquid, let it sit for five minutes and then wipe it clean.

Step 2 
Mix a cup of white vinegar (or baking soda) with water in a microwave-safe bowl, add a few slices of lemon and place the bowl in the microwave. Turn on the microwave and run on high for over 2 minutes, until the water fully comes to a boil. Let the bowl stay in for 15 minutes before you open the microwave door. This will completely absorb the odour.

Step 3  
Repeat Steps 1 & 2 every two weeks. Ensure that spills or food stains are cleaned immediately to avoid any unpleasant smell in the microwave. With a little care, your microwave can stay clean and deodorized.

Tips
-> Allow the microwave to dry after cleaning before you close the door
-> Do not place any metal in the microwave, as it can easily catch fire
