Microwaves can get very grimy over time and in extreme situations they can even start to smell. Food debris accumulates and for this reason, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the machine between uses. Rather than using elbow grease and scrubbing the old-school way, all you need is a bottle of vinegar!Simply mix one part vinegar with one part water in a microwave-safe dish. Put it in the microwave and blast it for about three minutes. The steam will loosen all of the food buildup, making it super easy for you to simply wipe it all off.
