How to Get Rid of Grease From a Stainless Microwave

The inside of your stainless steel microwave can become coated in grease when food spills over and splatters during the heating process. Regular cleaning is necessary to maintain the microwave's sanitation and heating performance. Abrasive cleaning products can damage the interior of the stainless steel microwave. But a mild dishwashing detergent will eliminate grease without affecting the surface. Also, a natural scouring cleanser such as baking soda safely washes off grease and neutralizes odors.

Things You'll Need

• Mild dishwashing liquid soap
