# How to Clean Spark Marks Inside a Microwave Oven
Leaving food in the microwave too long or pressing the wrong button leaves you with burned food and a mess to clean up. While most of the food comes out of the microwave easily, any spark marks the food leaves behind are not as easy to remove with normal cleaners. However, that spark mark doesn't have to stay in your microwave forever.
Things You'll Need
- Nail polish remover
- Vinegar
- Cloth
- Spray bottle
- Cotton balls

1
Fill a spray bottle full of vinegar and spray the inside of your microwave with it. Allow it to sit for three to five minutes.
-
2
Wipe the microwave out with a damp cloth to remove any grease residue and other stains. If the spark mark is only slight, the vinegar will clean it off.
-
3
Soak a cotton ball in nail polish remover and scrub spark marks inside the microwave with it. Soak as many cotton balls with the nail polish remover as needed to remove the entire stain. It may take five or six if the stain is bad.
