How do you clean a microwave?

Question

My neighbors son put their cat in the microwave and now there is debris everywhere. How can you clean it out so you can use it again?

Answer 1

Take the door off the hinges and throw the microwave and the door in the dishwasher. Run it  on the heavy duty cycle and heat dry.

Or...

Spray the inside with oven cleaner. Before the fumes dissippate,  place a tin plate in the microwave and turn it on high for at least a minute.

Answer 2

You are kidding I know. If this were true I'd buy another one.

Answer 3

You're going to have to clean it yourself, get the debris out, maybe wear some kind of surgical mask if the smell is too bad. Then, I would spray with bleach, bleach, bleach!!!!  By the way did he kill the cat?! I would feel horrible. If nothing else I would make their parents buy you a new microwave depending on the extent of the damage.

Answer 4

First off, that's horrible & distgusting! Secondly, I don't know if I would even consider using the microwave after that. IF you really want to clean it, I would first use pinesol or Mr Clean with water to kill any germs. Then I would use warm soap water to clean the pinesol or Mr Clean out. That should help with the interior.That doesn't mean that it won't smell from the possible parts that got inside the motor that you can't get to.

Answer 5

oh my gosh.....that's so horrible :( why would he do that?? the poor thing.....

i have no suggestions on how to clean it....personally, i wouldn't want to use it again....

Answer 6

just squirt in some bleach - it always does the trick.....and why the h**l did he put his cat in the microwave...ew

Answer 7

Vacuum out all the fur from the cat and then use lysol wipes to disinfect the interior of the microwave, before you do this unplug the microwave to ensure there won't be any electric shock.

(kinda strange how they put a cat in a microwave)
