I love cleaning with vinegar, but I don’t love heating it up to help clean the microwave. The stench is overwhelming! That’s why I came up with the Microwave Cleaning Without The Stinky Cleaners!
Easy Microwave Cleaning Tutorial
First, we need a really dirty microwave. My microwave was already super dirty from the birthday party food I had reheated, but then the kids reheated some ravioli. They filled the bowl too full, and now, look at this mess! As if it wasn’t dirty enough to begin with.
This step is optional. If you have super-stuck-on food or your microwave is super gross, place a glass of water in a microwavable bowl and run the microwave for a couple of minutes. This will release steam and get some of that caked-on mess to loosen all on its own.
My microwave looks like a mess, but the ocelo No-Scratch Scrub Sponges were quite strong enough to get the job done without heating the water.
The next step is to get your ocelo scrub sponge wet with warm water. Start by using the scrubbing side of the sponge. This doesn’t take too much work. The ocelo scrub sponge is powerful enough to take on the job easily!
Scrub and then wipe with the soft side. Continue using this method until you have all the stubborn food particles removed.
To get all the food particles you scrubbed loose out of the microwave get a clean washrag to wipe them out. This leaves you with a super clean microwave. Mine looks brand new, doesn’t it?
I got my microwave clean very easily using ocelo No-Scratch Scrub Sponges. The fun and creative designs made cleaning fun and easy!
I love the cute little pineapple designs. Thanks for checking out my Easy Microwave Cleaning Tutorial! Now, go get yours clean. Find ocelo No-Scratch Scrub Sponges ONLINE.

It’s amazing how fast a microwave can get gross and dirty. I love cleaning it like this – or with a little lemon in the water for extra good smells and more! #client
Adding lemon is a great idea! I love the way lemon smells and love using it to clean! Thanks for stopping by Michelle!
Oddly, ours is clean right now! I do need to get the cute pineapple sponge – asap!
Wow, that is awesome. The sponges are super cute! Thanks for stopping by Christine!
My husband is the one who makes messes in the microwave. He never covers his food!
My kids don’t cover either, hence the huge ravioli mess! Thanks for stopping by Tara!
Oh my gosh I loved reading this post and seeing those before and after pictures! There’s nothing I love more than getting things in my house nice and clean. I’ll try out the water thing next time I need to clean my microwave, that’s an awesome tip!
Thank you so much Jasmine! I totally agree, seeing things clean is awesome and so rewarding! Thanks for stopping by Jasmine!
It’s always daunting to clean microwave ovens. I find it so hard to do at times specially when the food sticks up in the edges. I would love to use this brand to help me ease in cleaning.
ocelo Scrub Sponges work so well. I love using them to clean up all over the house! Thanks Agnes!
God! I didn’t know how much I needed these cleaning tips until I came across them. A million thanks!
So glad you found it helpful!
I often use that technique with heating a bowl of water up to make the stains a little easier to remove! These are very good tips, thanks!
It works pretty well. Thank you Elizabeth for stopping by!
Wow it made it look all shiny and brand new! That really does look like a good microwave cleaner!
Thanks so much Ana!
There’s nothing better than a clean microwave! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Agreed! Thanks Jordan!
That water technique works like a charm. Thank goodness because sometimes it seems that dried crud is permanently attached.
I know what you mean! That is why I love the ocelo sponges, they work really hard so I don’t have to! Thank you Liz!
It’s amazing what a great sponge and some warm water can do! Thanks for this post!
Agreed! You’re very welcome!
I never heard about ocelo before but I definitely need this! I hope we have this in our country too.
I sure hope they have them in your country too! Good luck finding them. What country do you live in?
I keep seeing the ocelo sponges and wanted to try them! I am so going to buy some next time I’m at the store!
Awesome! I love them!
I had to end up buying a new microwave. Mine refused to be cleaned anymore and the cleaners stayed inside. I am going to use your tips when I have to clean my new one.
I think sometimes we let the mess in there go to long. It is easy to forget about cleaning it, especially if mom isn’t the one who uses it most often. You might could make a point to clean it once a month. I bet cleaning it more often will help immensely!
My microwave needs a cleaning bad. I have a few ocelo sponges, so I might have to try this out over the weekend.
Awesome Jamela, let me know how it goes.
I had forgotten that old trick about putting water in the microwave to loosen stuck-on grime. I need to remember that the next time I go to clean the microwave.
It is much better than using stinky cleaners!
OH my goodness, I’ve had a blow up in the microwave like that before too. Tips on cleaning, esp a mess like that are always welcome.
Right? Cleaning the microwave was a pain before I started using my new method. I seriously hated it!
My, looks like a great all-around kitchen tool for me! I usually don’t use my microwave nor have any problems cleaning it but my other kitchen essentials all say a different thing. Thanks for recommending Ocelo!
It really is a wonderful cleaning too! Thanks Karla!
I had always dreaded cleaning the microwave when i had a blow-up accident but now my sponge does me good. Thanks for the tips
You are very welcome, Anosa! Thank you!
Love the colors of these sponges! So cute!
Thanks Jess!
Great tip! I will give this a shot.
Thanks, Mags!
WOW! I had no idea that it could be so easy cleaning my microwave. Thanks so much for the help 🙂
Of course, you are so welcome! Thank you, Rachel!
The no scratch sponges are brilliant for multi purpose cleaning especially microwaves.,
I so agree!
Wow! Cleaning microwave has never been this easy!
Thanks!
I love to cook and hate to clean, Wonderful sponges that do such a great job. Looks like a wonderful party
I know right. The clean up us rarely ever any fun. Thank you so much Eileen!
