Examine the Dirty Microwave

Sarah Aguirre
Take a look at the microwave to figure out exactly how dirty it is and which parts of the interior can be removed. Knowing where the stickiest, grimiest parts are at will help when it's time to scrub. You can also choose to pretreat these parts with a small amount of all-purpose spray, or by rubbing a mild dish detergent onto the spots.
