Thank you just got done cleaning out the oven and microwave. Mom is complaining it sticks but no pain no gain totally worth it in the end. You won’t believe all the popcorn 🍿 debris that was in there.

[@YEILD-YOUR-SOUL-2GOD-ONLY.]

I did it twice at the same since I have not cleaned up for about a month due to the trauma of it.thank you.

[@davidjessamy7904]

Lady. You just saved me at least a half an hour of my life. Worked like a charm. Thank you 🙏🏾

[@AndreaJean]

Glad it helped!

[@lanebt4670]

I did white vinegar and water in a big glass measuring cup and I was able to clean my microwave in 5 mins. This is awesome. Made my cleanup a lot easier.

[@thethriftyfawn]

My old microwave just bit the dust and I'm shopping for a new one... but after seeing THIS, my new microwave will get to STAY looking NEW!!! Thank you Andrea!

[@peepla7]

I knew this trick...but have you ever tried adding a capful of vanilla extract to the vinegar? Clean and smells nicer than the vinegar when finished.

[@chit-chat007]

THANK YOU! I will try this!

[@bsferguson1]

!?!?!? I’ve got to try! Any chance of asking you for your cleaning hacks? Genius!

[@COJAZZ3]

Gotta try that. Thanks!

[@TyeArtisik]

Thanks for the tip

[@allimimi]

🙌🏽✨THANK YOU FOR THE TIP!! 🙌🏽✨

[@Chris-NYC]

I should have tried this sooner. I have a microwave with air fryer function. Spots were pretty built up so I doubled the amount of vinegar and steamed for 10 min. Since inside is darker color, some oily marks are still visible, but most residues are gone and completely removed the odor. Thanks!

[@kimed7628]

Water with lemon juice works exactly the same. No fumes!

[@qmann5714]

How much water and lemon juice do you use?

[@bz3548]

I which I had a lemon ( the smell is probably fresh) I used the vinegar and my house and inside the microwave stinks! 😡. Never again.

[@kimed7628]

@@qmann5714 I just squeeze about half a lemon in a cup or cup and a half of water in a bowl. Microwave for a minute or so. Let it sit for a couple minutes, then wipe down with a damp cloth. Works great!

[@sandrareynolds7379]

I am just living you right now. I cleaned the microwave using your method, it worked like a charm. Thank you. I'll be looking for other things you do.

[@oraclespades]

This worked great, I got an old microwave, and it was *very* dirty. It was stains that wouldn't come out no matter how hard you scrubbed, I found this trick and used it (majority vinegar, less water) in a regular old mug and put it in for just 5 minutes since I thought 10 was a little much. Bam! Stains were coming off without effort, sure some needed a bit more scrubbing effort than others, but it ended up in an amazing clean and fresh smelling microwave! TYSM! 😊❤

[@toolazytomakeaname7249]

I never comment on anything nor do I ever like videos but this saved me like 30 minutes of work, thank you so much for this

[@AndreaJean]

Glad it helped!

[@maureenmartin9553]

Thankyou so much, I just cleaned my microwave and it came up pretty good and easy, no scrubbing required. I put the microwave on for 10 minutes as it's been quite a while since I cleaned it last 😊😊

[@TheMikolette]

Tip for people that are sensitive to smell, dilute this with water(50/50). I'd say you'd need a little more elbow grease, but I am VERY sensitive to smell, and using only vinegar makes it impossible for me to handle working with.

[@sheena3873]

Omg that comment literally saved me! I also put a bowl of water in after I cleaned it all out for 10 mins. Just to get rid of the vinegar smell fully!

[@brandiejaniece2305]

I did this yesterday with a 50/50 mixture. Didn't know I was sensitive to vinegar as I clean with it all the time. But after 8 minutes I had headache, lightheadedness, and a tight chest. Guess the fumes were too much for me. Never again.

[@carriejames5038]

Just came across your vidoe now . Some ideas and tricks i knew of others i did not know of . But willing to try and let others know what i think

[@AndreaJean]

❤️❤️❤️

[@reirei4510]

Can you use dark vinegar to clean your microwave?

[@sb.yourstruly]

Random question- Would apple cider vinegar work? 🤔 I have to go buy the regular kind if not… also, would this ruin a stainless steal microwave?

[@storungz]

You are so AMAZING!!! Thank you thank you! Your videos have dramatically shortened the time I spend doing domestic chores which has been a godsend. I'm spending less time doing this stuff, BUT the quality of my cleaning has improved! I just stumbled on this gem of a video while looking at your vinegar in the laundry video as I have some mildewy towels I am hoping to save. When you did the first stroke with the sponge on the roof of the microwave I started yelling "What?! That's it?!! All these years awkwardly scrubbing the roof of these things and that's all I have to do?!!" lol You are simply brilliant!!

[@AndreaJean]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@HollisFrog]

Worked great I’m recently widowed and seems I don’t know how to do anything thanks for the help

Let me know how it goes 👍

[@KathyMLifestyle]

I burned popcorn last weekend so I am going to try this out this evening ! I hope it works.

[@AndreaJean]

Lol!! I do that too often too 😆

Does it work????

Got 2 try it! If it's that easy, I'll clean my microwave a lot more frequently!

[@yadiraquiles6841]

So I can use regular cooking vinegar or do I need the cleaning one you have, and is it five minutes on high?

[@AndreaJean]

Any is fine 👍

[@sergeantc4073]

What about getting the grease off the front outer surface on the door and control panel?. Thank you

[@loading...8512]

I used the spray dawn soap and a damp green scrubby thing then wiped it off with a damp rag and dried it with papertowel worked real easy

[@sergeantc4073]

@@loading...8512 Thank you

[@natedoglara]

Just did this, AWESOME. . . .did 1 cup of vinegar straight in a small plastic container for 6 minutes and used a copper scourer pad and it came off easy. Just make sure you get the metal pieces that break off out of the microwave before use. . . .used a regular dish towel after to wipe off as well. Simple as can be wish I would of made video of before and after. .. . Amazing. Thanks for the video. Other videos had me mix water with vinegar maybe that was part of the issue

[@natedoglara]

Here u go

[@vintagegirl31]

I was hoping someone would comment if they tried it and if it worked. Glad it did! Now I'll try it today. Thanks!

[@natedoglara]

@@vintagegirl31 yeah my microwave was pretty filthy compared to this video. It worked great

[@joannswampgirl2487]

The thumbnail pic was much worse that her microwave actually was. ​@@natedoglara

[@content_by_john]

Do you have to use a specific vinegar or is there a recommended brand?

[@TyeArtisik]

My thoughts as well

[@cherrirushing1171]

Great information. If the microwave works but has rust on the inside of the door should you buy a new one?

[@earlenehines3172]

My nephew used duct tape, NOT the silver tape but one that obviously was not metallic in any way. He says it works great, and in addition his microwave is so old the the microwave rusted in the circular track where the wheels rotate. My sister found an ice cream lid that was the same diameter/width and he trimmed it to a shorter height and used it. I forget whether he put tape on the lid but I think he said he did. Also, if it gets worn, you can make a new one. (He is really fond of this microwave 😂).

[@cherrirushing1171]

@@earlenehines3172 thank you for replying. Seems it would be a waste to toss it out as it still works. On a different not, my mom's name is Earlene. She passed in 2013, so it's like a response from my mother. Again, thanks for relying. Have a wonderful Holiday!

[@ytbeusr]

My house smelt like acidic pizza for an hour and I couldn't breathe for a bit, but my microwave is clean at least. I think I'll just steam the microwave with water next time. Thanks for the inspiration all the same

[@tabbithadarkow8416]

I can't wait to try this, thank you! Quick question...what are the hooks inside the microwave for?

[@jordensanders2289]

Probably have a rotisserie attachment is what I’m thinking

[@donnamaas4909]

Yes I was wondering that too

[@TheRodriguezFam]

Haha perfect timing just like the humidifier one!! Will be cleaning my microwave today! And I just picked up some vinegar 🖤

Can I use apple cider vinegar?

[@danniemikeey579]

Can I use regular vinegar?

[@Sarahlinii]

I utilized this method today when cleaning my parent’s microwave (which they admitted hadn’t been cleaned in a good year or so) for them and though all the stuck on/burnt on food and odors have now vanished, I am left with some pretty significant staining still. Think nicotine stains on white walls if that helps; there’s this rich yellowish/brown staining that remains and I’ve no idea how to get the microwave back to its natural whiteness. Have you any tips for this? I’d be sooo grateful! Love the channel by the way, you’re just awesome ❤️

[@kellymichelly]

Have you tried one of those magic-sponges?

[@kathleenstewart7494]

Can use use this trick if your interior is stainless steel

[@BigE23859]

I did this to clean but mostly to get the a bad smell out. The vinegar exploded at 3 minutes. After hearing the big pop sound I stopped it and started wiping down. The gunk came off but I could of done that with heated water. I was hoping it would get the smell out but sadly it made it worse. Plus, the fumes made it hard to breath and stunk up my whole apartment.

[@asdfkie]

Thank you, I almost exploded my vinegar but I read your comment 😂

[@karenlebeter4196]

Will be doing this tomorrow. How many watts is your microwave? Mine is 1250, so have to adjust for TV dinners, which usually are for 1100 watts. (For mac&cheese cooker).

[@euniceappling7912]

I am trying it right now..thank you

Thanks so much Donna! Same to you ❤️

[@manooch]

Today I saw a comment somewhere that if you cover your dish , you don't get dirty microwave at all to be cleaned later. Now I remember what are those popping sounds from microwave , those are your food splashing all over the inside of microwave and making it dirty. Today I cleaned my microwave and cooked a meal of stew in it ciovered with a glass plate. after it was done ,I didn.t see even a single spot in microwave , all shiny surfaces.Thanks for that comment I saw. Btw leave the microwave door open when not in use , it stops getting mold or smelly

[@joannswampgirl2487]

Leaving the lid on works for some things but other things it will make it overflow. Either way you're going to clean up your microwave. It is a kitchen appliance, you have to wash it after use like you wipe your stove off after cooking.😅

[@marlynlumba]

Thank you for this helpful info.. it's better put lil bit of water

How'd you get the camera in there with the sponge in the other hand? GoPro?

[@billcarpenter5615]

I used a cup of 30% vinegar (says industrial strength on it), I did not realize how much stronger than standard vinegar it was and when I put a cup of it in for 10 minutes the kitchen smelled so strongly of vinegar I had to turn on the fan to make it bearable to get back in the kitchen to finish cleaning, the smell burned my nose and throat a little. But my microwave was really dirty and is now very clean, but I am still coughing out the vinegar fumes.

Nice video and hey guys, thanks for all the tips. I hadn't cleaned my micro for about a year - adds a sense of mystery to my cooking. Hope I don't get famous. Anyway I did much the same procedure with vinegar, water and a few slices of lemon for 8 minutes a try. Took three tries. Worked pretty good, I'm a bachelor cook so sometimes the food comes out different anyways. But I make a super hot Mexican salsa so it don't really matter. Take any food and put some of my special salsa on top. Take take a few shots of Tequila and you will understand everything. (Except maybe how to pick up chicks.) Makes Einstein look like a simpleton though.
