Clean the Microwave Interior's Front, Sides, and Bottom

Sarah Aguirre
After you've finished the top of the microwave, move on to the sides and door. Begin in the back corners and drag the dirt and grime towards the opening of the microwave to prevent crumbs from collecting in the corners. Don't forget to clean the interior of the microwave door. Finally, wipe down the interior bottom of the microwave. Pay special attention to sticky spots where overflows happened.
