• Microwave oven

After using the microwave oven for a long time, a lot of stains will accumulate inside, especially some hanging microwave ovens that also have the function of range hoods, the inside needs to be cleaned even more.

In fact, cleaning the microwave oven is very simple:

1. Efficient cleaning method

‌1) White vinegar cleaning method‌:

• Add half a bowl of water and 1 tablespoon of white vinegar to a special bowl for the microwave oven, heat on high heat for 3-5 minutes, use steam to soften the oil stains and then wipe the inner wall. ‌
• Advanced version: simmer for 2 minutes after heating to enhance the penetration effect, and stubborn stains can be lightly brushed with an old toothbrush. ‌

2) ‌Lemon Cleaning Method‌

• Cut a lemon in half and put it in a plate with a small amount of water. Heat it for 1 minute. The citric acid will decompose the oil and remove the odor. ‌
• Alternative: Heat the lemon peel for 5 minutes, which is suitable for removing strong fishy smells such as seafood.

2. Precautions

• ‌Safety first‌: Turn off the power before cleaning to avoid water vapor short circuit; do not use steel wool or hard brush to prevent scratching the inner wall coating.
• ‌Material protection‌: The glass turntable needs to be cooled before rinsing to prevent explosion.

Tips: Developing a habit of cleaning at hand can greatly reduce the difficulty of cleaning.

• Refrigerator

The temperature of the refrigerator is low, and bacteria and viruses will survive longer, so even if it does not look dirty, it may accumulate a lot of bacteria and germs over a long period of time. Take advantage of the spring cleaning to empty the refrigerator and thoroughly clean and disinfect it once, so that it is healthier to store food.

Since food is often stored in the refrigerator, it is safer to use some green cleaners, such as baking soda powder, which can be mixed with water to make a paste and used to wipe the inside of the refrigerator. It can effectively remove stains and deodorize.

1. Tool preparation ‌

• ‌ It is recommended to use natural or mild cleaners such as neutral detergent, baking soda, white vinegar, alcohol, toothpaste, etc.
• Tools include soft cloth, sponge, small brush (to clean the seal), spray bottle, etc.

If the stains are stubborn, you can use Method antibacterial cleaning spray, which contains 5% citric acid, which can kill 99.9% of common bacteria and viruses. It is suitable for cleaning the inside of the refrigerator, desktops, etc.

Precautions

• ‌ Safety tips: Turn off the power during the whole process to avoid detergent residues and wipe thoroughly.
• ‌ Frequency recommendations: Clean at least once every half a month, and wipe the seals and partitions once a week.
• ‌ Daily maintenance: Store food in sealed bags to reduce odor and bacterial contamination.

‌

Tips: Refrigerator cleaning requires systematic operation, focusing on the seals, partitions and corners that are prone to breeding bacteria. Combining natural cleaners with regular maintenance can effectively extend the life of the refrigerator and ensure food safety.
