Unplug the microwave and remove any loose debris
Unplugging the appliance will prevent any accidents and ensure your safety while cleaning. Please, always unplug the microwave before attempting to clean any part of the microwave at any point in this video.
Once the microwave is unplugged, the next step is to remove any loose debris that may be causing the smoke smell. This includes things like burnt food or charcoal residue that may be stuck to the interior of the microwave.
To do this, use a damp cloth or paper towel to wipe down the inside of the microwave. Be sure to get all of the corners and crevices. These areas are where debris tends to accumulate.
If the debris is particularly stubborn, you may want to consider using a cleaning product. A good cleaning product will help break up the debris.
For example, you could mix a small amount of dish soap with warm water. Then, use that to wipe down the interior of the microwave. Another option is to use a specialized microwave cleaner designed to break down tough stains and residue.
Prepare a cleaning solution
One of the best cleaning solutions for getting smoke smell out of a microwave is a mixture of water and baking soda.
To prepare this solution, measure out 1 cup of water and pour it into a microwave-safe bowl. Then, add 1 tablespoon of baking soda to the bowl. Stir the mixture together with a spoon until the baking soda is completely dissolved in the water.
That's it! Once you've prepared the solution, you're ready to move on to the next step of the cleaning process.
If you don't have baking soda on hand, there are other cleaning solutions that you can use. For example, you could use a mixture of vinegar and water. This is also effective at removing tough stains and odors. Just mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a microwave-safe bowl. Then, follow the same steps as you would with the baking soda solution.
Microwave the cleaning solution
After preparing the cleaning solution, the next step is to microwave it in the bowl. This will help loosen the stubborn smoke smell and debris inside the microwave.
Begin by placing the bowl of cleaning solution in the microwave. Then, set the microwave to run on high power for 5 minutes. This should be enough time to allow the solution to boil and steam up the microwave.
Stay close to the microwave and keep an eye on it while it's running. You may notice that the solution starts to boil and steam up the inside of the microwave. This is normal and indicates that the solution is working to loosen any stubborn smoke smell and debris.
Once the 5 minutes are up, turn off the microwave.
If you're using a specialized microwave cleaner, follow the instructions on the label for how to use the product. In most cases, you'll need to microwave the cleaning solution just like you would with the baking soda solution.
Bear in mind that microwaving the cleaning solution can create a lot of steam. This can cause the interior of the microwave to become very hot and wet. To avoid burns, wear oven mitts or use a towel to handle the bowl. Use the oven mitts when wiping down the interior of the microwave as well.
Let the cleaning solution sit
After microwaving the cleaning solution, leave the bowl of cleaning solution in the microwave.
Set a timer for 10-15 minutes. Walk away and allow the solution to work its magic. During this time, the cleaning solution will continue to loosen the smoke smell and debris. This will make the smell and debris easier to wipe away.
After the 10-15 minutes are up, open the microwave door. Carefully remove the bowl of cleaning solution. It will still be hot, so use oven mitts or a towel to handle it.
If you're using a commercial microwave cleaner such as Angry Mama Microwave Cleaner, follow the instructions on the label for how long to let the cleaning solution sit.
You need to be patient during this step and allow the steam and heat to do their job.
