How to Clean an Oven and Microwave: Grease and Odour
Grease and burnt-on residue build up unnoticed. Here are safe cleaning methods and mistakes that damage the coating.
Microwave in 10 minutes
Put a cup of water with a lemon slice inside and run it for 3–5 minutes. Leave it a few more minutes with the door closed — the steam softens the residue. Then wipe the walls with a soft sponge and wash the plate separately.
Oven, step by step
- Let the oven cool and remove racks and trays.
- Spread a paste of baking soda and water over the walls and door and leave for 8–12 hours.
- Wipe with a damp sponge, adding vinegar for a foaming effect if needed.
- Soak the racks in warm water with detergent.
- Wipe the door glass inside and out.
What not to do
- Use metal scrapers on enamel and glass.
- Spray chemicals on heating elements and the fan.
- Run the oven to «burn off» dirt — the smell lingers.
When to book it
If the residue is old and baked-in, or you don't want to spend an evening on it, book «oven, inside» (from 30 GEL) or «microwave, inside» (from 15 GEL) in the Cleanex calculator.
