How to Clean a Microwave Turntable

Hi! I'm Jennifer Cail and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you how to clean your microwave from the inside out. From the microwave, we're not moving over to the sink where we're going to clean the different components of the microwave starting with the glass turn table. For washing the glass turn table, this is going to be very easy. All you need is to wet it down in the sink. Use your regular dishwashing detergent and sponge to gently clean it off. If you have something that is baked on like we've got this little piece right here. Go ahead and use gentle scrubbing of it with your sponge. If you have an abrasive sponge, steel wool, you do not want to use anything that abrasive on your turn table or for most things that you'll be cleaning. Make sure it gets a good scrubbing both top and bottom. Of course, be careful since this is glass. If you have anything that got down to the bottom of your microwave, then you might have some residue down around here where it collected. This one is fine. You're just going to rinse it off and let it dry. The turn table is one of the easiest parts of the microwave to clean. Even if you're not getting your microwave cleaned as frequently as you should, at least getting the turn table clean on a regular basis will make your microwave seem much cleaner. This is also where the majority of spills should be taking place. If you have exploding food, of course, that's going to go everywhere. Anything which spills is probably going to be caught. You see it has a little lip around the edge here. That will help keep spills in check. We're just going to let this dry putting it off to the side, and then we'll be ready for the next step.
